Areas we cover in Herefordshire, Monmouthshire & Gloucestershire
We cover a defined patch either side of the Welsh border rather than spreading thinly across half the country. That means we know the property types, the ground conditions and the planning departments in the places we build.
Herefordshire
Primary service area, covering Hereford and the surrounding market towns and villages.
Hereford
The county's main market and the centre of most of our work. A mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the centre, interwar semis in areas like Tupsley and Whitecross, and modern estates on the edges. Terraces often suit side or rear extensions and rear dormers; the semis take hip-to-gable conversions well. Much of the city centre falls within a conservation area.
Leominster
A historic market town with a large conservation area and a lot of timber-framed and Georgian property. Extension and renovation work here frequently needs a careful approach to materials and breathability, and planning applications rather than permitted development.
Ross-on-Wye
Period property on the hill and around the market house, and more modern housing spreading out towards the A40. The Wye Valley setting means landscape considerations affect what can be built and how it looks.
Ledbury
Another town with a substantial timber-framed and Georgian core and conservation area coverage. Rear extensions and internal reconfiguration are common here, as the street frontages leave little scope for anything visible.
Bromyard
Smaller market town with a mix of older stone and brick property and post-war housing. Good scope for extensions and garage conversions on the newer stock.
Kington and the Herefordshire villages
Rural stone and brick property, farmhouses and converted outbuildings across the west of the county. Annexes, barn conversions and extensions to older buildings are the common projects.
Monmouthshire
Across the border, working to Welsh planning policy and Welsh Building Regulations.
Monmouth
A busy market town with a well-defined conservation area, Georgian frontages and modern housing towards Wyesham and Osbaston. Rear extensions, loft conversions and full renovations are the usual work.
Abergavenny
Substantial Victorian and Edwardian housing plus large post-war and modern estates, sitting against the Black Mountains. Plenty of scope for extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions.
Chepstow
Period property in the old town and extensive modern housing at Bulwark and Thornwell. Newer estates often have permitted development rights restricted, which changes the planning route.
Usk, Raglan and Caldicot
Village and small-town property across the county, from stone cottages to modern estate housing. Garden rooms, annexes and extensions are common requests.
Gloucestershire
Gloucester, Newent, the Forest of Dean and the Severn side.
Gloucester
A large market on our eastern edge, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the centre, extensive interwar and post-war housing at Tuffley, Hucclecote and Longlevens, and modern estates towards Quedgeley. Rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions are the common projects on the semis.
Newent and the Forest edge
Older brick and stone property, farmhouses and converted outbuildings across the countryside between Ross-on-Wye and Gloucester. Extensions to older buildings, annexes and barn conversions.
Coleford, Cinderford and Mitcheldean
Forest of Dean towns with a mix of stone cottages, terraced housing built for the coalfield, and later estate housing. Solid-wall construction is common, so breathable materials and careful damp detailing matter.
Lydney and the Severn side
Period property in the older parts of town and substantial modern housing on the edges. Straightforward to extend, though permitted development rights are often removed on newer estates.

Not sure if you're in range?
If you're on the edge of these areas — the Golden Valley, out towards Malvern, Brecon, Tewkesbury or Cheltenham — ask anyway. We'll give you a straight answer about whether we can run the job properly from where we're based rather than taking it on and struggling to get there.
