House renovations in Andover

Covering Andover

Our coverage around Andover (SP10) also includes Winchester (13 miles to the south-east) and Newbury.

Homes in the South East

Housing across the South East mixes inter-war semis, post-war estates and older cottages in villages and market towns, so rear and side extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and garage conversions all come up regularly.

What do you get with a house renovation?

We survey the house to find what really needs doing, from damp and roof condition to wiring age, then programme the work so the messy trades (structure, first-fix, plaster) happen before the finishing trades. A single contract avoids the gaps that appear when separate trades are booked independently.

How is a house renovation approved in Andover?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed.

What can affect a house renovation?

Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
