As a local building company covering the Hindhead area, we always advise customers to consider the following before our builders start on property renovation work or house extensions.
Being equipped with the right information ahead of any project starting is the best way for homeowners to avoid stress and concern further down the line.
PLANNING PERMISSION – When our builders provide an initial free estimate for work at your Hindhead property, they will advise you on whether you need planning permission or not. If you do need permission for a property renovation or for house extensions, our building companywill liaise with the local authority on your behalf.
NEIGHBOURS – We always recommend that you let neighbouring property owners in Hindhead know about forthcoming building work at your home. While some movement from our builders is inevitable, disruption is always minimised. Good communication now means that you’ll be able to deal with any issues your neighbours might have later on.
DESIGN – Our building company will work closely with you to produce a design that suits your needs, and which will also add market value to your home. By using our design-and-build services for house extensions and property renovation work, you can benefit from high-end designs which show off your Hindhead home in the best possible light.
SECURITY – If you’re worried about work from our building company leaving your Hindhead home open to unwelcome visitors, we can offer tips on how to keep the site safe and secure. Alternatively, speak to a local crime prevention officer. These security professionals will be able to offer free, complete advice on how to best protect your home.
BUILDING REGULATIONS – You may not need planning permission for house extensions or a property renovation but we still work to strict instructions as laid out in the Building Regulations. These regulations set the standard for builders in Hindhead and across the UK. Building Regulations primarily ensure the safety of contractors and homeowners, and they also ensure workmanship is completed to a satisfactory standard.
COMPLETION – Once we’ve completed a property renovation or one of our house extensions, our building company goes over everything with a fine toothcomb to make sure everything is as it should be. Once an extension or property renovation is finished, regulators for the Hindhead area are informed so they can check our workmanship prior to handover.
