Common jobs

Where to start in Gwent

Bifold and sliding doors in Gwent

Bifold doors are glazed panels that fold and stack to one side to open up a wide gap, while sliding doors glide past each other on tracks; both connect a living space to the garden and bring in more daylight.

Typical time: 1–2 days to fit into a ready opening. Local guide price: £2,800–£7,400 including VAT.

Double-storey extensions in Gwent

A double-storey extension adds two floors of new space to your house in one build, typically a larger kitchen or living room downstairs with an extra bedroom, bathroom or en-suite above, sharing one set of foundations and one roof.

Budget guide in Gwent: £55,000–£110,000, with 14–22 weeks on site as a rule of thumb.

Whole-house renovations in Gwent

A whole-house renovation is a planned refurbishment of an entire home, typically combining rewiring, heating, plastering, new kitchen and bathroom, flooring and decoration, and sometimes layout changes, carried out in a logical order under one project.

Guide for Gwent: £41,500–£110,000 including VAT, typically 8–24 weeks on site, depending on scope.

Brickwork and repointing in Gwent

Repointing is raking out old, crumbling mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar, sealing the joints against rain and protecting the wall; brickwork repairs replace spalled or cracked bricks and rebuild damaged sections.

We price brickwork and repointing in Gwent at £2,300–£5,500 as a guide, including VAT.

Homes in Gwent

Newport has Victorian and Edwardian terraces and interwar suburbs, while valley towns such as Ebbw Vale, Abertillery and Blaenavon have stone terraces stepped along steep hillsides. Monmouth and Abergavenny keep Georgian centres, and Cwmbran was built as a post-war new town with planned estates.

Valley terraces commonly need repointing, roof work and window replacement, and steep plots can make extensions more involved. Newport terraces suit loft rooms, while Cwmbran homes often take garage conversions and cladding upgrades.

The valleys are among the wettest parts of south Wales, and steep sites, old mine workings and retaining walls all affect building work.

Planning and building rules in Wales

In Wales, councils decide planning applications under Welsh rules, and permitted development limits differ in places from England’s. Building Regulations in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and checked by building control.

Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Newport, Gwent, Cwmbran and Pontypool?

Yes. As well as Gwent, we cover Newport, Gwent, Cwmbran and Pontypool and the rest of Gwent. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.

Which postcodes in Gwent do you cover?

We cover NP10, NP44, NP4 and NP23, along with the rest of Gwent. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.

Who do I deal with during the job?

One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.

Can you combine your project with other work?

Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan your project alongside other work on your Gwent home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
