Medina Construction – Design and Build Service

Full building service – from planning to completion:

Starting with an initial no obligation consultation, onto planning with our architects, through local authority approval onto construction and completion of your building project.

Planning Permission:

Planning permission is not normally required. However, permission is required where you extend or alter the roof space and it exceeds specified limits and conditions.
Under new regulations that came into effect from 1 October 2008 a loft conversion for your home is considered to be permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission, subject to the following limits and conditions:
• A volume allowance of 40 cubic metres for terraced houses.
• A volume allowance of 50 cubic metres for detached and semi-detached houses.
• No extension beyond the plane of the existing roof slope of the principal elevation that fronts the highway.
• No extension to be higher than the highest part of the roof.
• Materials to be similar in appearance to the existing house.
• No verandas, balconies or raised platforms.
• Side-facing windows to be obscure-glazed; any opening to be 1.7m above the floor.
• Roof extensions not to be permitted development in designated areas*.
• Roof extensions, apart from hip to gable ones, to be set back, as far as practicable, at least 20cm from the eaves.
*Designated areas include national parks and the Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, conservation areas and World Heritage Sites.

Building Regulations:

Building regulations approval is required to convert a loft or attic into a liveable space.

Electrics:

All electrical work is usually done as part of a larger job. For example if you wanted new sockets or spot lights and switches then this job must be done before any decorating takes place. Since it became law on January 1st 2005, all the relevant domestic NICEIC certificates are provided after the job is done. If it is just a switch you require installing, then we can source a handyman to do the work for you – remember to get the necessary domestic NICEIC certificate once the job has been completed.

Plumbing:

All plumbing jobs are usually done as part of a larger job. It might be for a kitchen or bathroom, or you might be having a new hot water system or boiler fitted. Whatever the requirements our plumbing team are available for medium to large jobs.
For any smaller jobs such as plumbing in a washing machine or fixing dripping taps we can source a reputable handyman firm, that specializes in this type of work to come in and do these sorts of jobs for you. We can however do these smaller jobs as part of a larger project.
All the necessary GAS SAFE Registrations would be done where applicable, such as specialist work on boilers.

Lofts & Extensions:

Whether or not you are increasing the size of your current home or adding an extension or a loft conversion to a new house, these additions not only give you precious extra living space but also provide you with the added bonus of significantly increasing the value of your property.
Medina Construction works closely with architects, structural engineers and building control to design an extension to fit your needs, before our building team then moves in to complete the next phase. Each project we undertake is managed from start to finish by both a Project Manager and a Site Manager.
If you already have a design in mind and all the plans and permissions have been granted, or even if you haven’t yet reached the planning stage, then why not simply call or simply email us for an estimate.

Flooring:

Depending on your tastes and budget, our craftsmen can fit either solid wood or engineered flooring. Solid wooden floors are firm to walk on with an element of warmth. Our carpenters can give you advice on the different finishes you can have such as oiled, waxed or lacquered. This depends largely on how you want the floor to look and whether it is going to get a lot of wear and tear. A lacquered finish will give the floor an attractive sheen, whereas oiled and waxed floors give more of a rustic look.

Bathrooms:

Medina Construction is able to completely transform your old bathroom to make it look like something you might only dream about. Through our extensive network of suppliers we can supply and fit products from all the leading brands – you choose the bathroom furniture, tiles and accessories and we along with our team of qualified plumbers, tillers and decorators then work together to fit and manage the entire project for you.
Alternatively, if you would like some help with the design; what accessories go best with which tiles or what colour schemes to go for, then one of our Staff will be able to help.

Kitchens:

Medina Construction can design and build you a kitchen either by modifying the existing one or by completely rebuilding one from scratch. You might already know what you want, in which case we can provide you with an estimate to fit your chosen kitchen. Or why not let one of our Staff help you decide by drawing up some plans.
We make sure that we work with you to get the job done on time and within budget.
At Medina Construction, we use only the most experienced kitchen fitters & Companies, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and tillers to work on each project.

Brickwork & Plastering:

Brickwork, plastering and rendering can all be classed as an art. To do it well you need skilled men. At Medina Construction, we take great satisfaction in doing jobs well, therefore all of our plastering, bricklaying, rendering teams are highly skilled and they take great pride in their work, whether it’s plastering an entire house or just working on more specific areas, pointing or rendering.
