Covering Holyhead
Our coverage around Holyhead (LL65) also includes Llangefni, Caernarfon and Bangor.
Homes in Gwynedd and Anglesey
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What does a knock down and rebuild involve?
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.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Planning application for the replacement dwelling
- Demolition and site clearance

How is a knock down and rebuild approved in Holyhead?
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. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the planning officer on your behalf.
