Questions

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Extensions up to 6 metres typically don't require planning permission, but Building Regulations approval is mandatory. We guide clients through compliance requirements.

How long does planning permission take?

If required, planning permission takes 6-8 weeks. Accurate drawings submitted initially prevent delays from revision requests by local authorities.

Can you provide labour-only quotes for bathroom fitting?

Yes, we offer hourly or daily rates for labour-only bathroom installations if you supply your own materials.

Do you handle emergency plumbing or electrical issues?

We provide emergency call-outs for plumbing and electrical problems in Taunton and surrounding areas. Contact us for urgent assistance.

Are your subcontractors accredited?

All subcontractors hold accreditations through their governing bodies, including gas, electrical, and construction certifications.

July 2021- Karen & Rog Harris in Taunton
We have recently had Matt and his team, Lee, Sean, Jason and Stuart to upgrade our tired, dated conservatory/ utility area, into a spacious, bright, fully insulated room with a proper roof/velux windows. A room we can now use all year round.
Matt and his team were professional, punctual , hard working and respectful. We have already recommended to family and friends and happy to use for future works. Many thanks to you all,
Karen and Rog 😊
