Covering Crewe
Our coverage around Crewe (CW1, CW98) also includes Winsford (7 miles to the north-west) and Kidsgrove.
Homes in the North West
Across the North West, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates all feature, and brick or stone matching is chosen to suit each street.
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.
- Strip-out and structural repairs
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms
- Decoration and flooring if required
What will a house renovation cost?

Planning and building rules in Crewe
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed. It does need building regulations approval because it affects the structure.
What can affect a house renovation?
- Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
- Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
