Every job we take on in the borough follows the same eight stages, so you always know who is on site, what happens next and what it is costing you.

We come out to your property in Fareham, measure up, look at ground conditions and talk through what you actually want. No charge and no pressure.
Design and drawings
Our architectural team produces the plans and elevations, whether that is a permitted development rear extension or a full planning submission.
Planning and building control
We handle the Fareham Borough Council application on your behalf from start to finish, including any Article 4 or conservation area checks your property needs.
Fixed written quotation
A costed, itemised quote against the approved drawings. One contract, one price, no day rates creeping in halfway through.
Programme and start date
You get a written build programme before we break ground, with the trades booked in and a realistic finish date.
Build
Groundworks, structure, first fix, plastering, second fix and finishes, all managed by one site manager who is contactable throughout.
Sign off and handover
Building control completion certificate, a snagging walk round with you, and our workmanship guarantee in writing.
Aftercare
We are a short run down the M27 in Waterlooville. If something needs looking at six months later, we come back.
Planning Permission in Fareham
Fareham Borough Council covers the whole borough, from the town centre out to Titchfield, Portchester, Stubbington and Sarisbury Green. The council has 13 conservation areas and lists 435 buildings, so a lot of everyday extension and renovation work needs a closer look before it starts.
Nineteen areas across the borough carry an Article 4 Direction, Titchfield among them, which removes some of the permitted development rights homeowners elsewhere take for granted. We check whether your street is covered before we draw anything up.
If you are in one of the newer developments around Welborne, the borough's planned 6,000-home garden community north of Fareham, or on an established estate, the planning route is usually more straightforward — we will tell you which applies at the first visit.
What we deal with for you
- Fareham Borough Council householder applications
- Article 4 Direction checks, including Titchfield and the other 18 designated areas
- Conservation area consent across the borough's 13 conservation areas
- Permitted development certificates of lawfulness
- Building regulations drawings and structural calculations
- Party wall notices to neighbouring owners
- Building control inspections through to completion certificate

Fareham Builders: Common Questions
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Fareham?
Often not. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. If your property is in one of the 19 Article 4 areas, including Titchfield, or inside a conservation area, the rules are tighter and a full application to Fareham Borough Council is usually needed. We check this free of charge at the first site visit.
How long does a rear extension take to build?
A straightforward single-storey rear extension in Fareham is typically twelve to sixteen weeks on site once we start, depending on ground conditions and the size of the opening into the existing house. You get a written programme before we begin, not a verbal estimate.
Are you insured and accredited?
Yes. Waterlooville Builders is registered with CHAS, and we carry full public liability and contractors all risks insurance. Certificates are available on request.
Will you handle the planning application for me?
Yes. Our construction consultants prepare the drawings, submit the application, deal with the case officer and manage building control inspections through to the completion certificate. You do not need to appoint a separate architect.
Can we stay in the house while you work?
In most cases yes. On rear extensions we keep the existing wall in place until the new structure is weathertight, so the disruption is limited to the last few weeks. On full refurbishments it is usually easier to move out, and we will be straight with you about that at quotation stage.
Do you work on period and listed properties?
Yes. Fareham has 435 listed buildings across its 13 conservation areas, and we regularly work on period homes in the town centre and around Titchfield. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well as planning permission, and we will guide you through both.
