Covering Royton
We work in Royton (OL2) and the places around it, including Chadderton, Oldham and Middleton.
Homes in the North West
The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.
What does a house-to-flat conversion involve?
A house-to-flat conversion divides a single house into two or more self-contained flats, each with its own front door, kitchen and bathroom. It always needs planning permission and full building regulations approval, particularly for fire separation and sound insulation between flats.

What is the guide price for a house-to-flat conversion in Royton?
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.
What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What should I think about before starting?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
What people ask before starting
Does converting a house into flats need planning permission?
Yes, always. Subdividing a house into flats is development under planning law.
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.
