Covering Colwyn Bay
Alongside Colwyn Bay, we also cover Rhyl, Bangor (17 miles to the west) and Llangefni.
Homes in Clwyd
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 goes into a house renovation?
A house renovation brings an older or neglected home up to modern standards: rewiring, new heating, replastering, new kitchen and bathrooms, windows, insulation and often a new layout. It can be done room by room or as one programme while the house is empty.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Rewiring, heating and plumbing
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms

Planning and building rules in Colwyn Bay
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.
Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed.
What should Colwyn Bay homeowners check first?
- Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
- Energy upgrades are cheapest when walls and floors are already opened up.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- 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.
What people ask before starting
Can we live in the house during a renovation?
For a light refurbishment, often yes. For a full or structural renovation, most people move out for at least part of the work.
How long does a renovation take?
About 8 to 30 weeks on site depending on scope.
Can you visit a house in Colwyn Bay to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
