Leverstock Green is an eastern neighbourhood of Hemel Hempstead that has kept its village character, with its own green and church. Homes in Leverstock Green include older cottages and 1950s-70s new town and private estates.
Conservation area rules in parts of Leverstock Green can affect replacement windows and doors, especially where an Article 4 direction applies. Cottages often have uneven floors, low beams and out-of-square openings, so doors, frames and fitted joinery are scribed to suit. In post-war homes we're often asked to replace tired internal doors, skirting and architraves throughout, or to build a new roof structure when a loft is converted.
Most internal carpentry, such as new internal doors, skirting or like-for-like kitchen units, needs neither planning permission nor Building Regulations approval. Structural timber work, such as roof structures, floor joists and loft conversions, is different.
Planning applications in Leverstock Green are decided by Dacorum Borough Council. Parts of Leverstock Green are within a conservation area, where some permitted development rights are reduced and extra care over materials is expected.
Replacement windows and external doors must meet Building Regulations, shown by a competent person scheme certificate such as FENSA or by building control sign-off; the GOV.UK guide to Building Regulations approval explains the rules. If your home is listed, changes to original joinery need listed building consent.
Most carpentry jobs follow the same pattern: visit and measure, written quote, first fix, second fix and a final clean up.
Good carpentry in Leverstock Green comes down to accuracy and care in the finishing. Here is why customers choose us:
“Always on time, very friendly, very tidy and exceptional workmanship. Made the whole process a lot less stressful.”
Yes. Leverstock Green is about 2 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Hemel Hempstead and St Albans.
Yes. Replacing internal doors, frames, skirting and architraves throughout is a common job. New doors are hung on new hinges and trimmed to suit the floor finish.
Yes. In old cottages, doors, frames, skirting and fitted joinery are scribed to follow uneven floors and walls, so they look right rather than fighting the building.
Our carpenters handle first-fix work such as roof timbers, floor joists and stud walls, and second-fix work such as internal doors, skirting and architraves. We also fit kitchens, utility rooms, windows and external doors.
Yes. We take on standalone carpentry, such as hanging doors or fitting a kitchen, and whole projects such as extensions and loft conversions, where carpentry is one of several trades we cover in-house.
Yes. Replacement windows and external doors in England must meet Building Regulations for energy efficiency and safety. Compliance is shown either by a certificate from a competent person scheme, such as FENSA, or by sign-off from building control.
Usually not for a house, as like-for-like replacements are normally permitted development. An Article 4 direction can remove that right, though, and listed buildings always need listed building consent for changes to windows and doors, so check with Dacorum Borough Council first.
