Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.

What goes into a structural alteration?

We arrange the structural calculations, support the floors and roof above with temporary props while the wall comes out, install the steel on padstones, then encase it for fire protection and make good. Chimney breast removals and new openings in external walls follow the same process.

Planning and building rules in Haverfordwest

Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed. Building regulations approval is needed for the structural work.

What should Haverfordwest homeowners check first?

Shared chimney breasts and walls can involve the Party Wall Act.
Removing walls can affect the fire escape route on open-plan ground floors in three-storey houses.
