Working in Aberystwyth
Across SY23, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Carmarthen (40 miles), Ammanford (43 miles), Llanelli (51 miles), Haverfordwest (57 miles).
For homes towards Powys, Llandrindod Wells is around 32 miles away. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Planning rules that apply in Aberystwyth
In Wales small porches are usually permitted development within size and boundary limits similar to England's. We check the current Welsh limits for your address.
The planning position for a specific Aberystwyth address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
We visit your Aberystwyth home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
