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.
Adding a storey in Wales needs planning permission. We prepare the application with drawings showing how the new roofline fits the street.
What should Pontypridd homeowners check first?
- The staircase takes space from the ground floor plan.
- The house is exposed while the roof is off, so the sequence is planned tightly.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- 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.
