Local knowledge

Building work in Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes was designated as a new town in 1967, and much of the housing dates from the 1970s onwards, laid out around the grid-road system. That gives a lot of similar houses on estates, and a lot of homeowners who want to open up a dated, closed-off kitchen or refit a small bathroom without moving.

Planning and building control are handled by Milton Keynes City Council. Removing a wall between a kitchen and another room usually needs a beam and building control sign-off, and we design and install that as part of the job.

Recent work in Milton Keynes includes a kitchen renovation, a bathroom refit, and a ground floor renovation with structural steelwork, new plastering and flooring and a new kitchen, currently on site at Peckover Court.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you remove a wall to open up a kitchen in Milton Keynes?+

Usually, yes. We check whether the wall is load-bearing, arrange the structural calculation for a steel beam if one is needed, and deal with building control. Temporary propping keeps the house safe during the works.

Which council do I deal with for building work in Milton Keynes?+

Milton Keynes City Council is the local planning authority. Building regulations approval can go through the council or a private registered building control approver.

Do you renovate kitchens and bathrooms in Milton Keynes?+

Yes. It is a large part of our work in the city, with our own tradespeople handling plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling and joinery.
