Working in Wymondham
Across NR18, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Norwich (9 miles), Dereham (11 miles), Thetford (19 miles), North Walsham (21 miles).
Stowmarket, in Suffolk, is roughly 27 miles from Wymondham and also on our list. Across the East of England many houses sit on generous plots, and single-storey and wraparound extensions are a natural fit.
What is included
- Energy and glazing checks, including whole-house calculations if needed
- Submission to the council or a registered building control approver
- Completion certificate on sign-off
- Building regulations drawings and written specification
- Structural calculations for beams, lintels and foundations
- Inspection bookings throughout the build
Building regulations approval and planning permission are separate. A design can have planning consent and still need changes to meet the regulations, which is why we draw for both together.
Planning rules that apply in Wymondham
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.

Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Common questions in Wymondham
Will my neighbours in Wymondham be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do you cover all of Wymondham?
Yes. We cover Wymondham and the surrounding parts of Norfolk. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with in Wymondham?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Who are building control?
Either your local council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Both inspect the work and issue the completion certificate.
Full plans or building notice?
A full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, which we usually recommend for extensions. A building notice is quicker to submit but carries more risk if something needs changing on site.
