Our process

How We Run a Building Project in Rowlands Castle

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

Free site visit

We come out to your property in Rowlands Castle, 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 East Hampshire District Council application on your behalf, and the South Downs National Park Authority submission if your property sits north of the village.

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 ten minutes down the road in Waterlooville. If something needs looking at six months later, we come back.

Local knowledge

Planning Permission in Rowlands Castle

Rowlands Castle sits in Havant borough, so most householder applications go to East Hampshire District Council. Properties on the northern edge of the village fall inside the South Downs National Park, which is its own planning authority with tighter rules on materials, roof form and anything visible from open countryside.

The land around the village green and the older terraces off Redhill Road and Whichers Gate Road include a number of Victorian and Edwardian properties in the conservation area, where replacement windows, render and roof coverings are all controlled. We have worked to both authorities for years and we will tell you at the first visit which one applies to you and what it means in practice.

A lot of single-storey rear extensions in the village go through under permitted development rather than full planning, which is faster and cheaper. We will always check that route first before putting in an application you may not need.

What we deal with for you

  • East Hampshire District Council householder applications
  • South Downs National Park Authority submissions
  • Conservation area and Article 4 checks
  • Permitted development certificates of lawfulness
  • Building regulations drawings and structural calculations
  • Party wall notices to neighbouring owners
  • Building control inspections through to completion certificate

Questions

Rowlands Castle Builders: Common Questions

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Rowlands Castle?

Often not. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. If your property is inside the South Downs National Park boundary north of the village, or in the conservation area, the rules are tighter and a full application to East Hampshire District Council or the South Downs National Park Authority 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 the village 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?

We regularly work on the Victorian and Edwardian homes around the village green and along Redhill Road and Whichers Gate Road, using appropriate materials and methods. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well as planning permission, and we will guide you through both.
