Project Management & In-House Services

Our team of experienced builders doesn’t just do the physical work. Mint Builders offers complete project management facilities for all projects undertaken in Cheltenham, Cirencester and the surrounding areas. This service includes assistance with planning applications.

What is the Planning Process?

The first step is to contact your local planning department. Although policies may change, you can usually get free pre-application advice over the phone or arrange a 25-minute consultation for £50.

Following this, you must complete and submit your planning application and the required fee. Note that even simple applications can take at least six weeks to process, so plan ahead of your intended start date.

Our In-House Services Include:

  • Design & Build
  • Planning Assistance
  • Structural Alterations
  • Foundations, Drainage & Groundworks
  • Brickwork, Roofing & External Finishes
  • Windows, Doors & Glazing
  • Plumbing, Heating & Electrical
  • Kitchens, Bathrooms & Joinery
  • Plastering, Rendering & Decorating

By keeping everything under one roof, we ensure better quality control, faster communication and a smoother experience from start to finish.

Do I need planning permission for a house extension?

Not always. Single-storey rear-facing or side-return extensions often fall under permitted development. We’ll assess your plans and assist with any required applications.

How long does a house extension take?

A typical single-storey extension takes 8–12 weeks to build. Larger or double-storey projects can take longer. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed schedule.

Will I need to move out during the build?

Most clients stay in their homes during construction. We take steps to reduce disruption and keep your home safe and clean throughout.

Do you help with layout and design?

Yes. We can work with your architect or recommend trusted professionals. We also advise on layout options, materials and finishes to ensure your extension is practical and beautifully finished.
