Local to Monmouthshire

## Building in Monmouthshire and the surrounding area

### Where we work
Monmouthshire borders Herefordshire, and our base at Linton Barns, Ross-on-Wye, sits close to the Welsh border. We work across the county, including Monmouth, Abergavenny, Chepstow, Usk, Raglan, Caldicot and the rural villages of the Wye and Usk valleys.

### Property types in Monmouthshire
Monmouthshire has stone farmhouses and longhouses, traditional barns, Georgian and Victorian town houses in its market towns, cottages in the valleys, and modern housing around its larger settlements. Parts of the county lie within the Wye Valley National Landscape, and the north-west touches Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) National Park.

### What people in Monmouthshire ask us for
Monmouthshire clients often ask about barn and farmhouse conversions, extensions to stone houses, new builds on rural plots and commercial or agricultural buildings. Design and build is popular because rural and protected sites carry more planning risk.

### Getting to you
We don&#x27;t publish fixed response times. Call 0800 292 2159 during office hours (Mon–Fri 8:30am–4:30pm) or send an enquiry, and we&#x27;ll arrange a survey visit in Monmouthshire at a time that suits you.

Why BUILT in Monmouthshire

## A contractor with the capacity to deliver
Working on both sides of the border means we understand that Wales has its own planning system and its own Building Regulations, which differ in places from England&#x27;s. We take that into account from the first survey.

On many projects in Monmouthshire, the biggest risk isn&#x27;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 Monmouthshire 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&#x27; 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 Monmouthshire

### Property types
Stone farmhouses and barns often have thick walls with little or no foundation, and need breathable materials and careful structural repair when converted or extended.

### Climate and flooding
Monmouthshire&#x27;s hills and river valleys are exposed to heavy rainfall, and the Wye, Monnow and Usk all flood. Weathertight detailing and flood risk assessment are important on valley sites.

### Infrastructure and access
Rural properties frequently rely on private drainage and long service runs. Narrow lanes and steep valley sites limit access for large vehicles and deliveries.

### Building age
Many of the county&#x27;s rural buildings are centuries old. Some are listed or sit in conservation areas, which affects materials and alterations.

Planning in Monmouthshire

## Planning and regulations
Monmouthshire County Council handles most planning in the county, while sites inside Bannau Brycheiniog National Park fall under the national park authority. Welsh planning policy and Welsh Building Regulations both apply, and parts of the county are within the Wye Valley National Landscape.

Typical projects

## Projects we take on in Monmouthshire
Typical Monmouthshire projects include converting a stone barn near Raglan, extending a farmhouse in the Usk valley, adding a loft room to a house in Caldicot, or building agricultural and commercial buildings for rural businesses.

### Local materials and character
Old red sandstone, local limestone, lime render and Welsh slate are common in Monmouthshire. Traditional limewashed and rendered farmhouses need breathable finishes rather than modern cement renders.
