Can you come out to Valentines and other parts of Ilford?

Yes. We cover the whole of Ilford, including Valentines, Clayhall, Loxford, Aldborough Hatch, Gants Hill and Seven Kings, as well as Walthamstow, Romford, Hackney and Greenwich.

Does a new partition wall need building regulations approval?

A simple non-structural partition in an existing house often does not, but it can if it affects fire escape routes, ventilation or natural light, or forms part of a loft conversion, extension or conversion to flats. Sound insulation rules apply to new homes and conversions. If in doubt, check with your local building control before work starts.

Before you book: a quick Ilford checklist

  • Have older textured ceilings or coatings tested for asbestos before they are drilled or removed
  • Arrange your electrician and plumber for sockets, lights and radiators before and after boarding
  • Ask each contractor to state the method, board types and finish so quotes can be compared
  • Confirm the price includes beads, sealant, protection and clearing waste
  • Clear the rooms and agree where boards can be stored and how they will be brought in
