Covering Rhyl
Our coverage around Rhyl (LL18) also includes Colwyn Bay (10 miles to the west) and Flint.
Homes in Clwyd
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 do you get with 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.
- Building control application and inspections
- Fire protection and plaster encasement
- Making good floors, walls and ceilings

Do you need permission for a structural alteration in Rhyl?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed.
What can change the price or programme?
- Shared chimney breasts and walls can involve the Party Wall Act.
- Pipes and cables in the wall need rerouting first.
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.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
