Building Regulations
Adopting building regulations is not just a formality; it’s a crucial step in ensuring the safety and quality of your home. This is necessary when constructing new house extensions, whether through planning permission or under permitted development. The regulations cover foundations, walls, insulation, roofing, drainage and electrical systems.
In addition to structural integrity and safety, there is now greater emphasis on meeting thermal performance standards. Compliance ensures your property’s value and viability, guarantees safe and economical construction, and prevents costly repairs due to non-compliance.
Planning Permission
Your initial point of contact will generally be your local planning department. While subject to change, you can typically obtain preliminary guidance for any significant house renovations over the phone or a nominal charge of £50 for a 25-minute consultation, during which you will be provided with relevant advice on any areas of concern.
You must complete and submit your planning application, which Mint Builders can help with, and pay the recommended fee when ready.
The Benefits of Home Improvements
Renovating your home with Mint Builders brings both immediate and long-term rewards. First and foremost, renovations can significantly improve comfort, flow and functionality. By creating open-plan layouts, adding storage or improving access, you can tailor your home precisely to your lifestyle.
Renovations also enhance aesthetic appeal. Updated finishes, stylish features, and thoughtful design elevate the look and feel of your home, increasing enjoyment and pride in ownership. They can also boost energy efficiency; upgrading insulation, windows, heating, or lighting reduces bills and enhances thermal performance, an important consideration under current building regulations.
Another significant benefit is property value. A well-planned renovation can offer strong returns when it comes time to sell, thanks to improved layouts, modern amenities and architectural enhancements. Beyond that, renovations let you future-proof your home and, unlike moving house, allow you to stay in your neighbourhood, close to schools, friends and community.
What types of renovations do you handle?
Mint Builders covers everything from structural alterations and kitchen/bathroom remodelling to loft and basement conversions, garage or barn conversions, and whole‑house refurbishments.
How disruptive are renovations?
We keep disruptions to a minimum, so most clients stay home. Our teams use temporary work zones and maintain cleanliness, communicating any impacts beforehand.
How long does a renovation take?
Timelines vary by scope. Simple internal projects might take 4–6 weeks; major structural or multilevel refurbishments typically take 12–20 weeks. We provide detailed schedules upfront.
Will my renovation comply with building regulations?
Yes. As FMB-registered builders, we ensure full compliance, from structural work and insulation to electrics and heating, giving you peace of mind.
