Building Company in Caerphilly

There is no honest single figure, because the cost is driven by the size of the extension, the ground conditions, whether steels are needed, and the level of finish you want. What we can promise is a written, itemised quotation before any work starts, so you know where you stand financially rather than discovering it as you go. Ring 07398 389264 and we will come out, measure up and price it properly — there is no charge for the visit or the quote.

Many single-storey rear extensions and most garage conversions fall under permitted development in Wales, which means no planning application is needed — but the limits on height, depth and materials are specific, and a conservation area or a previously extended property changes the answer. Either way, the work still needs building regulations approval. We will tell you honestly which camp your job falls into at the quotation stage, and we deal with Caerphilly County Borough Council's building control inspections as part of the job.

A full renovation of a typical three-bedroom house usually runs between six and twelve weeks, depending on how much structural work is involved and how quickly decisions and materials land. We have completed whole-house refurbishments in under eight weeks where the programme was tight. The realistic answer for your property comes after we have walked round it — we would rather give you a date we can hold than a date that sounds good.

Yes. LFB Contractors Ltd carries public liability insurance, and we are happy to send you the certificate before work starts — just ask. We are also a limited company registered in England and Wales, company number 16793849, and identity-checked members of BookaBuilderUK.

Yes, and it is one of the things we get called in for most. We arrange the structural engineer's calculations, set the temporary support, install the beam on properly sized padstones, and close the opening back up. We are regularly asked to step in where another company has started an opening and could not finish it — if your project has stalled at that stage, it is usually straightforward for us to pick up.

We are based in Penyrheol, Caerphilly and work throughout the Caerphilly county borough — Bedwas, Machen, Llanbradach, Abertridwr, Senghenydd, Ystrad Mynach, Bargoed, Blackwood, Risca and the surrounding villages — plus the northern edge of Cardiff around Thornhill, Lisvane and Rhiwbina. If you are slightly outside that, ring and ask; we will tell you straight away rather than waste your time.

Yes, and we would rather be judged on it. The site gets cleared and swept at the end of every working day, waste is removed rather than stacked in your garden, and the finished job is snagged before we ask you to sign it off. It is the single thing our customers mention most often, which tells you how rare it still is.

Yes. It is a significant part of what we do, and there is no judgement in it — it happens far more often than people admit. We will come out, look honestly at what has been done, and tell you what needs putting right before the job can move forward. Sometimes that is uncomfortable to hear, but it is better heard before you spend more money.

Always. We will visit, measure up, talk through what you want and put a written, itemised quotation in front of you at no cost and with no obligation. We will not price a job over the phone without seeing it — building work has too many variables for that to be fair to either of us.
