Homes in the West Midlands

The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s semis and Victorian terraces in red brick, so matching brick and roof tiles is often the key to an extension that looks original.

What does a house renovation involve?

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.

Planning and building rules in Ross-on-Wye

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 should I think about before starting?

Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
