Slapton is a small canalside village between Leighton Buzzard and Ivinghoe. Homes in Slapton include cottages and individual houses.
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 Slapton 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 Slapton are decided by Buckinghamshire 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 Slapton needs a builder you can trust with structure, safety and budget. This is what you get with us:
“Russell did a fantastic job for us on our kitchen extension and fit out and his work has stood the test of time.”
Yes. Slapton is about 11 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Cheddington and Edlesborough.
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 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 Slapton, we cover nearby areas such as construction in Cheddington, construction in Edlesborough, construction in Ivinghoe and construction in Pitstone. See every place on our areas we cover page.
