For construction in Edlesborough, we handle the structural work and everything that follows it. Typical projects include:

Edlesborough lies beneath the Chilterns escarpment, with the hilltop church of St Mary looking out over the village. Homes in Edlesborough include cottages and newer houses.
Newer estate houses can carry planning conditions that remove permitted development rights, so we check the planning history before any design work starts. Land in the Chilterns National Landscape near Edlesborough has reduced permitted development rights, so many extensions there need a full planning application. Historic cottages may have timber frames or soft brick and flint walls, so structural changes are planned around the original fabric.
Most construction projects in Edlesborough need Building Regulations approval, and many also need planning permission. New houses always need full planning permission, while some extensions can use permitted development.
Planning applications in Edlesborough are decided by Buckinghamshire Council. Parts of the area around Edlesborough fall within the Chilterns National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). On that land, side extensions, rear extensions of more than one storey and roof extensions such as dormers need planning permission.
If the work affects a shared wall or involves digging near a neighbour's foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies too; see our guide to the Party Wall Act and the GOV.UK guide to Building Regulations approval.
We line up approvals, structural calculations and any party wall notices before work starts; see how our build process works.
Construction in Edlesborough needs a builder you can trust with structure, safety and budget. This is what you get with us:
“Always on time, very friendly, very tidy and exceptional workmanship. Made the whole process a lot less stressful.”
Yes. Edlesborough is about 10 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Eaton Bray and Slapton.
Check whether it is listed or in a conservation area, how the existing walls and foundations are built, and whether it uses lime mortar. The structural engineer and building control will want to see that the new structure suits the old.
Usually, but check the planning conditions first. Some estates have had permitted development rights removed, so even a small extension may need a planning application.
Yes. We build bespoke new homes, starting with a consultation on layout, specification and finishes. A new house needs full planning permission from Buckinghamshire Council and Building Regulations approval, and we build to the approved drawings.
Yes. Removing a load-bearing wall needs a structural engineer's calculations for the new beam and Building Regulations approval. We prop the structure safely, install the beam on padstones and make good, so the room is ready to decorate.
If the work affects a shared wall, or you dig foundations within 3 metres of a neighbour's building (6 metres in some cases), the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies. You must serve notice: 2 months before work on a party wall and 1 month before excavations.
We take on everything from internal alterations and single-storey extensions to double-storey extensions and complete new homes. No job is too big or small, so tell us what you're planning and we'll arrange a free visit.
As well as Edlesborough, we cover nearby areas such as construction in Eaton Bray, construction in Slapton, construction in Totternhoe and construction in Ivinghoe. See every place on our areas we cover page.
