Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.

Do I need building control approval for an extension?

Yes. Most extensions require building control sign-off to ensure they meet structural and safety standards. Planning permission is also usually needed unless the extension is small and meets certain criteria.

How long does a loft conversion take?

Typically 8–12 weeks depending on complexity, roof type and whether dormers are needed. Work includes structural changes, so building control inspection is mandatory throughout.

What happens if asbestos is found during renovation?

Work must stop. A licensed specialist surveys and removes it safely. Asbestos is common in homes built before 2000, particularly in insulation, roof tiles and pipe lagging.

What delays groundworks on building sites?

Unexpected ground conditions, utility services in unexpected locations, poor drainage or contaminated soil can slow work. Surveys help identify issues before digging starts.

Can I live in a property while renovation work happens?

Possible but difficult. Dust, noise and limited access to rooms make daily life uncomfortable. Many homeowners stay elsewhere during major work.
