Covering Barry

Homes in South Glamorgan
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?
A house-to-flat conversion divides a single house into two or more self-contained flats, each with its own front door, kitchen and bathroom. It always needs planning permission and full building regulations approval, particularly for fire separation and sound insulation between flats.
- Feasibility check against local planning policy
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
How much does a house-to-flat conversion cost in Barry?
Typical ranges for house-to-flat conversions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
Priced on survey.
What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in Wales?
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.
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 should I think about before starting?
- Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- 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.
