Covering Rotherham
Rotherham sits 6 miles north-east of Sheffield, with Chapeltown 5 miles to the north-west and Sheffield 6 miles to the south-west.
Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber
Across Yorkshire and the Humber, older stone and brick terraces sit alongside inter-war semis and newer estates, and dormers and rear extensions are designed to suit each.
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.
- Asbestos survey, demolition notice and service disconnections
- Demolition and site clearance
- New foundations, structure and full fit-out

How is a knock down and rebuild approved in Rotherham?
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.
This needs full planning permission from the council.
What can affect a knock down and rebuild?
- You will need somewhere to live for most of a year.
- Asbestos is common in post-war houses and must be removed by licensed contractors where required.
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.
- Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
- 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.
