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 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.

Planning and building rules in Wrexham

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. Building regulations approval is needed for the structural work.

What should Wrexham homeowners check first?

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.

How does the project run?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.

Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
