Need Planning Permission? We’ve Got You Covered
One of the things that often worries people about house extensions is the red tape. But don’t worry — we’ve got plenty of experience dealing with planning departments across Shepton Mallet, Frome, and the surrounding areas.
We’ll advise you early on if your project is likely to need planning permission (many single-storey extensions fall under permitted development). If permission is required, we’ll prepare the plans, complete the paperwork, and liaise with the local council on your behalf.
We also handle building regulations, inspections, and all the technical stuff — making sure everything’s compliant and built to last. Our team works with trusted architects and structural engineers where needed, so the whole process runs smoothly from start to finish.
