House-to-flat conversions in Gwent

Covering Gwent

We cover Gwent, including Newport, Cwmbran, Pontypool and Ebbw Vale, and the towns around them.

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 is included in a house-to-flat conversion in Gwent?

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.
