Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.
How long does building work typically take?
Timescales vary widely by project scope. Extensions usually take three to six months; loft conversions six to twelve weeks; renovations depend on scale. Delays happen due to weather, inspections, or supply issues.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Single-storey extensions under certain sizes and setbacks may not need permission under permitted development, but many do. Two-storey work usually requires it. Conservation areas and listed buildings have stricter rules. Check locally first.
What happens if asbestos is found during renovation?
Licensed specialists must survey and safely remove asbestos; work stops until this is done. It is common in older buildings. Costs depend on quantity and type. Removal must follow strict legal procedures.
What is building regulations approval and why does it matter?
Building regulations ensure work meets safety, structural and energy standards. Most building work requires approval through inspection at key stages. Work without approval can affect insurance, resale, and safety. Local authorities enforce this.
What should I expect during a site survey?
A surveyor measures, photographs, checks ground conditions, existing structures, access, services and any issues. They identify problems early, advise on feasibility, and inform quotes and timescales. Surveys cost money but prevent expensive surprises.
Can building work proceed in winter?
Most work continues in winter but is slower due to weather, shorter daylight and ground conditions. Concrete curing, brickwork and external work are affected most. Frost can damage fresh mortar and concrete. Planning for this is important.
