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 do you get with a knock down and rebuild?

We assess whether rebuilding is better value than extending and renovating, prepare the planning application for the replacement dwelling, manage the demolition notice and asbestos survey, then build the new home. The process runs much like a new build once the old house is cleared.

  • Feasibility: rebuild versus extend and renovate
  • Asbestos survey, demolition notice and service disconnections
  • Demolition and site clearance

Do you need permission for a knock down and rebuild in Chepstow?

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 should I think about before starting?

  • You will need somewhere to live for most of a year.
  • Planning policy on replacement dwellings varies, especially in green belt and countryside.

What happens after I enquire?

  1. Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
  2. Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
  3. Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
  4. We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
