Unlike ordinary basement construction contractors who only provide construction services, we also arrange approval from the planning department. For most basement conversions, planning permission is not required, as converting a basement falls under the permitted development. However, if you need to carry out ground excavation, you will require planning permission approval. You will also require planning permission approval if you reside in a conservation area or a listed building. Leave the hassle and the stress of arranging planning permission to us. Our architects will communicate with the concerned department, submit the technical drawings, and arrange the required approval.
Whether you go for a simple or full-scale conversion, you will need the approval of building regulations. These regulations govern safety standards and ensure that the new structure is safe for you and your neighbours.

Basement refurbishment in London or repairs does not require building regulations approval. You may also need a party wall agreement if you have a shared wall with your neighbours. Our construction team will facilitate you in applying for building regulations approval while we will ensure that all regulations are met and you receive the building completion certificate.
