House Renovations in Cirencester, Cheltenham, and the Surrounding Areas

House renovations and structural alterations can transform a property from a cluttered and impractical laid-out house to a comfortable and spacious home.

At Mint Builders, we’re committed to transforming unloved interiors into areas that improve living conditions and functionality. Our services also encourage clients to stay in Cirencester or Cheltenham locations they’re familiar with and avoid the unnecessary stress of selling up and moving.

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. It includes 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 the 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 the recommended fee when ready. Even basic planning submissions for Cirencester or Cheltenham properties can take at least six weeks to process, so it’s vital to plan well ahead of your intended work start date.
