Covering Kidderminster
Kidderminster sits 14 miles north of Worcester, with Stourbridge 7 miles to the north-east and Brierley Hill 8 miles to the north-east.
Homes in the West Midlands
Red-brick terraces and inter-war semis make up much of the housing in the West Midlands, which suits rear extensions, dormer lofts and hip-to-gable conversions, with more modern estates on the edges of the towns.
What is 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.
- Feasibility check against local planning policy
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
What will a house-to-flat conversion cost?
Guide prices for house-to-flat conversions, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.

Do you need permission for a house-to-flat conversion in Kidderminster?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What can affect a house-to-flat conversion?
