Timber framed cart lodges across Huntingdon

At about 36 miles west of Brandon, Huntingdon is close to as far out as we go. Ely, March and Soham are all closer to us than Huntingdon, which sits at the outer end of the area we cover, so it comes down to the size of the job rather than the postcode.

Huntingdon falls under Huntingdonshire District Council. They are who the application goes to and who signs the work off, so it is worth knowing before a design is fixed. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

The house is the easy part here. Postwar estate plots dominate Huntingdon. Huntingdon is far enough out that only larger projects make sense for us. Two houses on the same street can differ on this, so a number quoted down the phone is a guess. We price from the property, never from a template.

At roughly 36 miles it is outside our core area, so it depends on the size of the job. For a full cart lodge the travel is usually worth it for both of us. For a small one day job it honestly is not, and we would rather tell you that than quote a price that reflects the driving.

Huntingdon has a Georgian market town centre on the Great Ouse, ringed by extensive postwar and modern development. That decides the materials and proportions a new structure needs if it is going to look right next to the house.

Huntingdon is far enough out that only larger projects make sense for us. It matters most on new structures, where it can change the foundations, the consent needed, or both.

We cannot answer that for you, because the council decides it case by case. We build to whatever is approved, and we would rather the question is settled before a design is fixed than after. In Huntingdon that means Huntingdonshire District Council. If there is any doubt we would rather you check with them before work is booked than after.

Yes. It most often runs alongside extension work, first fix carpentry and renovation work, and because one team does the carpentry throughout there is no gap between trades. At about 36 miles from our base, putting the work into one programme also means one run of travel instead of several.
