What is included in a knock down and rebuild in Scunthorpe?

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.

Demolition and site clearance
New foundations, structure and full fit-out

Planning and building rules in Scunthorpe

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. We prepare the drawings and supporting documents, submit the application and respond to the planning officer.

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.
