Covering Speke
Speke is about 7 miles south-east of Liverpool. We also cover Garston (2 miles to the west), Runcorn and Widnes.
Homes in the North West
Across the North West, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates all feature, and brick or stone matching is chosen to suit each street.
What do you get with 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.

- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats

How much should I budget for a house-to-flat conversion?
What house-to-flat conversions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
Priced on survey.
Do you need permission for a house-to-flat conversion in Speke?
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 can change the price or programme?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
What are the steps?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- 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.

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.
What are the main building regulations issues?
Fire separation between flats, protected escape routes, sound insulation and separate services.
Who deals with the council for a project in Speke?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
