Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission in Ilford?
Yes, most new builds require permission from Redbridge Council. We assist with this entire process.
How long does a custom build take?
Typically 6-12 months, depending on the complexity and size of the property.
Do you handle demolition?
Yes, if you are rebuilding on an existing site, we can safely manage the demolition and clearance.
Maintenance for New Builds
New homes need to ‘settle’. Keep radiators on a moderate setting to allow plaster to dry slowly and prevent cracks.
Ensure gutters are cleared regularly, especially in leafy areas of Ilford, to prevent water ingress.
Seasonal Construction Advice
Spring/Summer: Ideal for groundwork and bricklaying due to longer daylight and drier weather.
Autumn/Winter: Focus shifts to internal works (plastering, electrics, joinery) once the structure is watertight.
Avoid These Building Pitfalls
- Underestimating the budget for finishing touches.
- Choosing the cheapest quote rather than the most comprehensive one.
- Ignoring party wall agreements with neighbours in terraced Ilford streets.
- Changing designs mid-construction, which escalates costs.
Our Guarantee
We stand by our workmanship. All structural work comes with a 10-year warranty for your peace of mind.
