Homes in Powys

Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.

What is included in a house renovation in Powys?

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 Powys?

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 can affect a house renovation?

Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
