Covering Macclesfield
We work in Macclesfield (SK11) and the places around it, including Wilmslow, Congleton and Cheadle Hulme.
Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
What does a house-to-flat conversion involve?
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 application and layouts to space standards
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works
What will a house-to-flat conversion cost?
Use these ranges to budget for house-to-flat conversions; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.
Priced on survey.
Planning and building rules in Macclesfield
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?
- 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?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- 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.
