Why structural alterations work well in Hertford
Hertford blends historic period cottages and townhouses near the centre with generous Victorian villas and modern family homes on the edges, many with the plot space for extensions, garden rooms and full refurbishments. That makes Hertford a great place to open up the layout or remove a load-bearing wall, and because we design and build in one team, your drawings are always buildable and your price is set early and honestly.
Planning and building control in Hertford
Hertford sits under East Herts Council. Internal structural work rarely needs planning permission, but it does need building control approval and engineer’s calculations, plus a party wall agreement if a shared wall is affected, all of which we handle. As a design and build team we prepare the drawings and manage the whole process for you, so there is one team accountable from first sketch to sign-off.
