My name is Neil Fieldhouse. I provide a full planning permission and building regulations service including structural calculations often needed for foundations, floor and roof structures and steel beams. The structural calculations are included in the price as well as dealing with all application forms and council liaison needed to obtain planning permission and building control approval.
I am a local authority building control partner with Sheffield City Council and have over 25 years experience in the building industry. I have worked as building inspector, building surveyor, site manager, contracts manager, building maintenance manager for Sheffield City Council's housing department and more recently the managing director of a building company. I have a HND in building, a degree in Construction Management and Economics and a Masters Degree in Business Administration.
I have a strong commitment to quality, customer care and value for money. I would be very pleased to support you with any of your needs in relation to your extension, loft conversion, garage conversion, renovation or new build project.
I am based in Sheffield and cover all areas of Yorkshire including Rotherham, Leeds, Manchester, Dronfield, Chesterfield and Barnsley. I can give you a quote on locations further afield if needed and have even worked as far as Edinburgh and London.
These before an after pictures are a great example of what can be achieved with a good architect and builders. Some of the building work has been completed by my recommended builders.
This large detached house in Wakefield has beautiful views across the countryside, the couple wanted somewhere to be able to sit and enjoy these views .
The balcony didn’t require planning permission as it didn’t overlook any neighbours’ property. The balcony did need to be checked by building control to make sure the support columns specified in the plans were strong enough.
I got planning permission to convert the loft and add a large rear dormer and two front facing roof windows to this detached house in Halfway, Sheffield.
The client wanted a pool table and space to relax with friends, there wasn’t room in the house for this as they had two young children. A loft conversion was a great way for them to gain a lot of much needed room.
The couple were really pleased with the work, there was hardly any mess in the main part of the house as the builders accessed the loft through the roof. The work was all completed in around 10 weeks, including painting and installing the T.V’s and the pool table.
I obtained planning permission to alter the shape and size of the existing dormer on this detached bungalow in Totley.
As you can see from one of the pictures below, the previous dormer was so small that it served no real purpose. By increasing the size of the dormer, this client turned an unusable space in to a good sized bath and shower room.
My work took around a week to complete. This included going to the house, doing an initial survey and obtaining measurements. I had design meetings with the client then began getting the plans ready to submit in order to obtain planning permission and building control approval.
The couple were very pleased with the work which was all completed in around 8 weeks. This meant that they could move on to furnishing and decorating the bathroom. They were also happy to finally have a bathroom upstairs, making access easier and more private.
Before
After
This stone fronted property already has a single storey side extension forming the kitchen area. Planning permission has been sought to build above this to form a new master bedroom with ensuite.
The new extension will have a pitched roof to match the main house. In addition, a sunroom is to be added to the kitchen.
The owners of this ground floor flat have requested a single storey side extension to create a new lounge area. It is in the Camden conservation area so additional justification has had to be given of the design and materials to be used.
