Builders in Nuneaton for Loft Conversions, Extensions and Home Renovations

Yes. Nuneaton sits on the Warwickshire coalfield, and the Griff collieries worked eight pits south of the town until the last closed in 1960. Most householder extensions do not need a Coal Mining Risk Assessment, but check your address on the GOV.UK coal mining information service before you design foundations.

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council manages five conservation areas: Abbey, Nuneaton Town Centre, Bedworth Town Centre, Bulkington and Hawkesbury Junction. If your home is in one, side extensions and roof enlargements need planning permission. 5K Construction checks your address at the site survey, before any design work starts.

The council lists Article 4 directions for the Abbey conservation area, Bulkington, Bermuda Village and Hollyhurst Farm. Bermuda Village and Hollyhurst Farm show that a house can lose some permitted development rights even outside a conservation area. Check the council's Article 4 page for your street before planning external changes.

Not usually, if the house is outside a conservation area or Article 4 area and the extra roof space stays within 40 cubic metres on a terrace or 50 cubic metres on other houses. In the Abbey or Nuneaton Town Centre conservation areas, a dormer or roof enlargement needs planning permission.

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council's building control team is part of Central Building Control Partnership, shared with Lichfield, North Warwickshire, South Derbyshire, South Staffordshire and Tamworth councils. You can also use a registered building control approver. Either way, keep the completion certificate safe, because buyers' solicitors will ask for it.

Possibly, but Bermuda Village has its own Article 4 direction, so some changes that are normally permitted development need planning permission there. The cottages are terraced, so party wall notices are also likely. 5K Construction checks the direction and the neighbouring walls at the site survey before any design work starts.

A householder planning application in England costs £548 from 1 April 2026, under the national fee regulations, and that covers extensions and alterations to a single house. Listed Building Consent on its own has no fee. If your project is permitted development, a Lawful Development Certificate gives written proof for when you sell.

5K Construction covers Nuneaton and the wider borough across CV10, CV11 and CV12, including the town centre, Abbey Green, Attleborough, Whitestone, St Nicolas Park, Chilvers Coton, Bermuda, Stockingford, Camp Hill, Galley Common, Bedworth and Bulkington. The same team and one point of contact look after every project, from the site survey to sign-off.

Every project starts with a site survey at your home and a written quote. Call 07505 937668 or book through our contact page. At the survey we check the structure, any conservation area or Article 4 rules and the coal mining records for your address, so your quote reflects the real approvals.
