Covered parking and storage: cart lodges in Long Stratton

Long Stratton is roughly 33 miles east of Brandon, right at the limit of our range. We do take work on in this part of Norfolk, and at this distance we would rather tell you straight away whether your job is worth the journey.

Long Stratton falls under South Norfolk Council. Anything structural, or anything that changes the footprint, is decided and inspected by them rather than by us. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

For cart lodge work the site matters more than the house. Plots in Long Stratton run linear along the main road, with estate plots behind. Long Stratton is a fair distance out and is a large village rather than a town. That is what decides how much of a job is straightforward and how much is patient work against what is actually there. We price from the property, never from a template.

At roughly 33 miles it is outside our core area, so it depends on the size of the job. For a full cart lodge the travel is usually worth it for both of us. For a small one day job it honestly is not, and we would rather tell you that than quote a price that reflects the driving.

Long Stratton has period property along the old road with modern development set behind it. New work has to sit alongside the house that is already there, which is why the age and style of the property matter on a building project.

Long Stratton is a fair distance out and is a large village rather than a town. On a building project that is exactly the sort of factor that shapes the foundation design and the planning conversation.

For a property in Long Stratton the authority that decides is South Norfolk Council, and we will tell you plainly what we think before you contact them.
