Builders in Fleet, Hampshire

The majority of Fleet's residential properties were built between the 1960s and 1990s, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes across the town and in the surrounding villages of Church Crookham and Crookham Village. These properties were built to a reasonable standard and sit on plots that, in most cases, offer good scope for extending to the rear or side.

Hart District Council's planning policies are broadly permissive for residential extensions that meet Permitted Development thresholds, and the majority of rear extensions in Fleet can be achieved without a planning application. More substantial projects or those in sensitive locations will require a formal planning application, and we can advise on the likely outcome based on our experience in the area.

Many of Fleet's detached and semi-detached houses are well suited to dormer loft conversions, adding a full bedroom and en-suite without increasing the ground-floor footprint. In a town where property prices are high and the cost of moving is significant, a loft conversion can be a far more economical way to gain a bedroom than upsizing.

We project manage the full loft conversion from planning through to completion. Most loft conversions in Fleet can be achieved under Permitted Development, but we always confirm this with Hart District Council before work starts.
