Questions Answered by Your Builders in Guildford

Will I require planning permission from Guildford council for a property extension?

Whether or not you will require planning permission from Guildford Council for your home extension depends on several factors, such as the size and location of the extension, as well as the type of property you own. In general, a smaller property extension or conservatory may not require planning permission, while larger or more complex extensions will.

It is always advisable to check before commencing any work, as failure to obtain the necessary permission can result in costly fines and the potential for building work to be demolished. Alternatively, you can contact our builders. We have planners on hand who will be able to quickly ascertain the need for the green stamp. This is especially true if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, as the need for a property extension to be approved is almost assured.

What are some ideas worth considering for house renovations?

When planning house renovations in the Guildford area, there are all sorts of ideas and creative approaches to keep in mind. Firstly, consider the overall style and design of your property and how house renovations can be an opportunity to enhance or modernize it. Next, think about your budget and prioritise which areas of the home you want to focus on; building work on kitchens and bathrooms often ends up paying for itself, due to the value it can add to a property.

Our builders recommend considering adding energy-efficient upgrades, such as double-glazed windows or insulation, to save on energy bills in the long term. Another important consideration is the impact on the environment – you could choose to opt for sustainable materials for any requisite building work. Finally, ensure you obtain the necessary planning permissions – although house renovations often don’t require it - and hire reputable builders to ensure the project is carried out safely and to a high standard. Our Guildford based team are exactly that, and will work to integrate all your ideas without compromise.

Does flow screed offer advantages over other forms of screed?

Flow screed, also known as liquid screed, offers several advantages over traditional sand and cement screed – and that’s why our Guildford builders employ it for so many buildings works. Firstly, it can be laid much more quickly and efficiently, reducing the amount of time and labour required. Another advantage of flow screed is that it can achieve a much smoother finish, making it ideal for use with under floor heating systems, one of the most common features our clients want when investing in house renovations and property extension.
