Puttenham is a tiny hamlet north of Tring, close to the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal. Homes in Puttenham include farmhouses and cottages.
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 Puttenham 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 Puttenham are decided by Dacorum Borough Council.
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 Puttenham needs a builder you can trust with structure, safety and budget. This is what you get with us:
“An excellent service where all works were cleared up daily. A clean site is a safe site and whilst the building works were carried out I continued to live in my flat.”
Yes. Puttenham is about 11 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Marsworth and Long Marston.
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.
Yes. We build bespoke new homes, starting with a consultation on layout, specification and finishes. A new house needs full planning permission from Dacorum Borough 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 Puttenham, we cover nearby areas such as construction in Marsworth, construction in Long Marston, construction in Tring and construction in Buckland. See every place on our areas we cover page.
