Covering Abergavenny
We work in Abergavenny (NP7) and the places around it, including Pontypool, Ebbw Vale and Cwmbran.
Homes in Gwent
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What goes into a house-to-flat conversion?
We assess the house against the council’s policies on flat sizes, parking, bins and cycle storage before any design work, then design layouts to the space standards your council uses. On site the critical work is fire separation, sound insulation between floors, separate services and meters, and protected escape routes.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Feasibility check against local planning policy
- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats

Planning and building rules in Abergavenny
Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.
This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the planning officer on your behalf.
What can affect a house-to-flat conversion?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
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.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
