Long Stratton renovations, led by carpentry

Long Stratton is roughly 33 miles east of Brandon, right at the limit of our range. Diss, Wymondham and Attleborough are all closer to us than Long Stratton, which sits at the outer end of the area we cover, so it comes down to the size of the job rather than the postcode.

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.

Long Stratton is a fair distance out and is a large village rather than a town. That sits on top of the stock itself. Long Stratton has period property along the old road with modern development set behind it. It is the difference between a job that runs to plan and one that needs scribing to every surface. 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 renovation 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. Structural timber work depends on what the house was built with, because new work has to tie into the old frame properly.

Plots in Long Stratton run linear along the main road, with estate plots behind. Access is the practical question here: long joists and roof timbers have to get from the road to where they are needed.

The council decides, not us. Structural work is inspected through building control, and if the house is listed there may be a separate consent to ask about, so we raise both at the first visit. 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.

Yes. It most often runs alongside second fix carpentry, kitchen fitting and extension work, and because one team does the carpentry throughout there is no gap between trades. At about 33 miles from our base, putting the work into one programme also means one run of travel instead of several.
