Making a Mildenhall house work again

Mildenhall is about 8 miles from our base in Brandon. Brandon, Lakenheath and Newmarket are the same sort of distance from us, which puts this corner of Suffolk well inside the area we cover.

Mildenhall falls under West Suffolk 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.

There is a significant rented sector here connected to the airbase, which tends to set the timescales. Mildenhall has an older market town centre with substantial postwar and later estate development around it. Renovation work has to account for both. It is the difference between a job that runs to plan and one that needs scribing to every surface. We price from the property, never from a template.

At about 8 miles from our base, getting out to measure up is straightforward rather than something we have to schedule weeks ahead. Call or send the enquiry form and we will arrange a time that suits you. The quote costs nothing.

Mildenhall has an older market town centre with substantial postwar and later estate development around it. The construction of the house decides how joists run, what walls are carrying, and how new timber has to meet the existing structure.

Plots in Mildenhall open out on the estates and tighten considerably towards the High Street. Access is the practical question here: long joists and roof timbers have to get from the road to where they are needed.

The council decides, not us. Structural work is inspected through building control, and if the house is listed there may be a separate consent to ask about, so we raise both at the first visit. The council to ask in Mildenhall is West Suffolk Council, and we can point you at the right department once we have seen the job.

Yes. It most often runs alongside second fix carpentry, kitchen fitting and extension work, and because one team does the carpentry throughout there is no gap between trades. At about 8 miles from our base, putting the work into one programme also means one run of travel instead of several.
