For homeowners in West Norfolk

Need a carpenter? Get it quoted.

Tell us the job once. We pass it to up to three local carpenters and joiners who get in touch to quote. Free, and no obligation. King's Lynn, Hunstanton, Downham Market and everywhere in between.

Before you start

Do you need permission?

Loft conversions are often permitted development, within volume limits. Outbuildings and garden rooms usually are too, if they're single storey and no more than 2.5m high within 2m of a boundary.

Listed buildings need consent for joinery changes such as windows, doors and staircases.

General guidance for England, not legal advice. The council's planning team can confirm for your house, and the government's Planning Portal has the details.
