Covering Bangor, Gwynedd and Anglesey

We work in Bangor, Gwynedd and Anglesey (LL57) and the places around it, including Llangefni, Caernarfon and Colwyn Bay.

Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.

What is included in a house renovation in Bangor, Gwynedd and Anglesey?

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 Bangor, Gwynedd and Anglesey?

Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed. Building regulations approval is needed for the structural work.
