What do you get with 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.

Yes, always. Subdividing a house into flats is development under planning law.

We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
