Questions

Working in Wareham

What building work do you do in Wareham?

Across Wareham (BH20) most of what we are called out for is renovations of period property, sympathetic extensions and structural repairs. Wareham 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 Wareham?

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Wareham is about 6 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.

Yes. Wareham is a walled Saxon town where a good share of the housing is old, listed or in the conservation area, so the work is careful rather than quick. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done near Quay when you get in touch.

Does the housing in Wareham affect how the job is done?

Yes, and it changes how the job is designed. A good share of Wareham’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 Wareham?

Wareham 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.

Can one team do the whole job in Wareham?

That is the point of how we work. Building, plumbing and general work are all in-house, so an extension in Wareham 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.
