Builders in Baldock

Baldock is one of the oldest continuously occupied places in the region, and that has a practical consequence for anyone digging foundations here that doesn't apply in most towns.

We work throughout Baldock on extensions, kitchens and bathrooms, and renovations, across both the historic centre and the newer housing around it.

Baldock sits on a significant Iron Age and Roman settlement, and parts of the town fall within areas of known archaeological interest. Where they do, planning permission for work involving excavation can carry an archaeological condition, typically a watching brief, meaning an archaeologist attends while foundations are dug, occasionally a prior evaluation.

It isn't a reason not to build, and it rarely stops a project. What it does is add cost and time that most quotes don't allow for, and it needs discharging properly before work can lawfully continue.

We check for conditions of this kind before pricing groundworks rather than after, and we'll tell you upfront if your property is in an area likely to attract one.

Applications go to North Hertfordshire District Council.
