Why BUILT in Lydney ## A contractor with the capacity to deliver We know the southern Forest well, and our 25-strong in-house team keeps projects moving without waiting on subcontractors. On many projects in Lydney, the biggest risk isn't the building itself but the gaps between trades. When groundworkers, bricklayers, roofers, carpenters and fitters are booked separately, each delay pushes the next trade back, and responsibility for problems becomes unclear. BUILT keeps those trades in-house: our 25 tradespeople cover structure, roofing, carpentry, kitchens and bathrooms, supported by 4 office staff who plan the programme. That means one point of contact for your Lydney project, one company accountable for the result, and fortnightly invoices tied to work actually completed rather than an upfront deposit. - 25 years of trade experience, three generations of builders - 25 tradespeople on the tools and 4 office staff - CHAS accredited, £10M public and employers' liability insurance - No upfront deposit: invoiced fortnightly for completed work - 10-year warranty on new build houses, 1 year on other work - Free site survey on properties you already own Local building challenges ## What to plan for when building in Lydney ### Property types Newer homes often have compact layouts that suit extensions and loft conversions; older stone cottages need breathable materials and careful alterations. ### Climate and flooding Lydney sits beside the Severn Estuary, and low-lying land near the estuary and harbour can be at flood risk. The wider area can be exposed to wind and rain. ### Infrastructure and access Historic mining in the Forest villages above the town may affect some sites. Private drainage is common in rural areas. ### Building age Older terraces and cottages may have shallow foundations and altered roofs, which we assess at survey. Planning in Lydney ## Planning and regulations Forest of Dean District Council handles planning in Lydney. The town has seen significant new housing development, and sites near the Severn estuary may be in flood zones. Former mining in the villages above the town can affect ground conditions. Typical projects ## Projects we take on in Lydney Typical Lydney projects include rear extensions and loft conversions on newer homes, garage conversions, renovating stone cottages in Bream and Yorkley, and kitchen and bathroom refits. ### Local materials and character Lydney has older stone and brick terraces alongside large areas of modern brick and render housing. Extensions to newer homes are usually matched in brick or render with concrete tile roofs.
