What people ask before starting

How much does a flat conversion cost?

It varies too much to give a reliable guide figure, so we price each one on survey. The reduced 5% VAT rate can apply where the number of dwellings changes.

Can you help with the planning case?

Yes. We check the council’s policies first and only proceed with a design that has a realistic chance of approval.

Can you visit a house in Middlesbrough to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
