Questions

Working in Blandford Forum

What building work do you do in Blandford Forum?

Across Blandford Forum (DT11) most of what we are called out for is extensions, renovations of Georgian and period houses and full project builds. Blandford Forum has a conservation area at its centre where materials, window details and roof coverings are expected to respect what is already there, and permitted development rights are often restricted, so the sympathetic version of the job is also the version that gets approved. Every job starts with a free look at the actual house rather than a price guessed over the phone.

Do you charge extra to work in Blandford Forum?

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Blandford Forum is about 12 miles from our Poole base, a run we make as a matter of course, which is why the coverage is stated up front rather than hidden in the small print.

Have you worked in Blandford Forum before?

Yes. Blandford is the furthest regular point north west for us, a Georgian market town where larger projects justify the run up the A350. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done near Market Place when you get in touch.

Does the housing in Blandford Forum affect how the job is done?

Yes, and it changes how the job is designed. A good share of Blandford Forum’s older housing sits in or next to the conservation area, where brick, render, window details and roof coverings are expected to match what is already there and permitted development rights may have been removed. We price the sympathetic version from the start, because that is the version that gets approved and the version that still looks right in twenty years.

Will I need planning permission in Blandford Forum?

Blandford Forum has a conservation area at its centre where materials, window details and roof coverings are expected to respect what is already there, and permitted development rights are often restricted, so the sympathetic version of the job is also the version that gets approved. In practice a lot of single storey extensions and rear dormer loft conversions are permitted development, and most of the rest is a straightforward application. Building regulations approval is separate and is needed either way. We tell you which applies to your house before anything is priced.

That is the point of how we work. Building, plumbing and general work are all in-house, so an extension in Blandford Forum does not stop while we wait on somebody else’s plumber, and you have one number to ring about any part of it from the first site visit to the final walk-round.
