Covering Flint
Flint is about 15 miles north-west of Wrexham. We also cover Deeside (5 miles to the south-east), Buckley and Heswall.
Homes in Clwyd
Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.
What goes into architectural design and planning?
Architectural design and planning covers everything before building starts: a measured survey of the house, design options, planning or permitted development drawings, the application itself, building regulations drawings and structural calculations. We offer it on its own or as part of a design-and-build project.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Measured survey of the existing house
- Building regulations drawings and specification

Planning and building rules in Flint
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
We prepare applications to Welsh councils and check the Welsh permitted development rules, which differ from England's.
What should I think about before starting?
- Pre-application advice from the council can help on sensitive sites.
- Conservation areas and listed buildings need extra design care and supporting statements.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
