What goes into a house renovation?

Do you need permission for a house renovation in Pontypridd?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed.
What should Pontypridd 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 happens after I enquire?
- 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.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
