Covering Swansea
Our coverage around Swansea (SA1) also includes Neath, Pontarddulais and Llanelli.
Homes in West Glamorgan
Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.
What is included in a house-to-flat conversion in Swansea?
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 and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
What will a house-to-flat conversion cost?
What house-to-flat conversions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
Priced on survey.
What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in Wales?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales.
What can change the price or programme?
- Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
From first call to completion
- 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.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Your questions answered
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.
How do I get a price for house-to-flat conversions in Swansea?
Use the guide price tool for a ballpark figure, then book a visit for a fixed written price for the agreed specification.
