A little clarity

Your questions.
Considered answers.

A few useful things to know
before we start a conversation.

Tell us about your project
01Where do you work?

We discuss construction and renovation projects across Manchester. Share your postcode and the type of work you have in mind so we can confirm whether your project is within our service area.

02Can you help from the early planning stage?

Yes. You can get in touch while exploring ideas or once drawings are ready. We can discuss your aims and the building work, then identify any design or specialist input your project may need.

03How do I request a quotation?

Start with the form below. Include the property postcode, a brief description and your current stage. We can then discuss the scope and whether a site visit or further information is needed.

04Can you combine several types of work?

Yes. An extension may also involve joinery, plastering, decorating and flooring. Describe the complete project so these elements can be considered together.

05How long will the work take?

The programme depends on the property, the agreed scope, materials and any necessary approvals. Timing is discussed for your individual project rather than promised before the details are known.

06Will I need planning permission?

Requirements vary with the property and proposed work. Planning permission and building regulations are separate matters; the applicable requirements should be confirmed with your designer and local authority before work starts.

07Can I live at home during the work?

This depends on the extent of the work, access and which facilities remain available. We discuss the practical arrangements and any temporary disruption when planning the project.

08Does an enquiry commit me to anything?

No. Sending an enquiry starts a conversation. A quotation, the agreed scope and any contract are separate steps.
