Covering Leigh
Our coverage around Leigh (WN7) also includes Atherton (2 miles to the north-east) and Tyldesley.
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.
- Condition survey and scope of works
- Rewiring, heating and plumbing
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms

Planning and building rules in Leigh
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. 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.
- Energy upgrades are cheapest when walls and floors are already opened up.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
