Extensions conservatories and exterior walls

 If you want to make structural changes to your home, first check your restrictive covenants. Then:

• Check local planning laws and find out what you can and cannot do with your home. You should find this information on the website of your local council.
• In addition to any planning permissions and other legal requirements, we’ll also need to give approval for the change.
• Full details of the proposed change should be issued to our local divisional office, which will advise you further. A consent fee will be applicable to each application.

Typical changes that would require permission include:

• adding a conservatory to your home
• extending your home
• adding dormer windows into the loft space
• fitting solar panels on the roof. 

We regret that we are unable to provide any plans or working drawings for the construction of your property.

This will be dependent on the size and position of your shed. We’d always advise you to check with your local authority in advance of starting any works.

Yes, but you should consider any impact your works would have on the drainage of the area, any existing manhole covers and utility services. Additional drainage may also be required.

• We recommend you appoint a local contractor to confirm the existing service runs prior to starting any building works.
• To check pipe and cable runs prior to normal DIY tasks we would always recommend you use a suitable detector.
• We regret we are unable to provide any plans or working drawings for the construction of your property.
