Why BUILT in Chepstow

A contractor with the capacity to deliver

We build to Welsh Building Regulations and, with 25 tradespeople, have the capacity for both domestic and commercial work in Chepstow.

On many projects in Chepstow, the biggest risk isn't the building itself but the gaps between trades. When groundworkers, bricklayers, roofers, carpenters and fitters are booked separately, each delay pushes the next trade back, and responsibility for problems becomes unclear. BUILT keeps those trades in-house: our 25 tradespeople cover structure, roofing, carpentry, kitchens and bathrooms, supported by 4 office staff who plan the programme. That means one point of contact for your Chepstow project, one company accountable for the result, and fortnightly invoices tied to work actually completed rather than an upfront deposit.

  • 25 years of trade experience, three generations of builders
  • 25 tradespeople on the tools and 4 office staff
  • CHAS accredited, £10M public and employers' liability insurance
  • No upfront deposit: invoiced fortnightly for completed work
  • 10-year warranty on new build houses, 1 year on other work
  • Free site survey on properties you already own

Local building challenges

What to plan for when building in Chepstow

Property types

Historic stone buildings in the town centre need breathable materials, and many are listed or within the conservation area.

Climate and flooding

Chepstow sits on the tidal River Wye close to the Severn Estuary, which has one of the largest tidal ranges in the world. Low-lying riverside areas can be at flood risk.

Infrastructure and access

Steep streets and the town walls limit access in the centre. The lower Wye Valley is a protected National Landscape, affecting planning.

Building age

Many buildings in the old town are centuries old, so structural surveys are an important first step.

Planning in Chepstow

Planning and regulations

Monmouthshire County Council handles planning in Chepstow. The old town is a conservation area, the lower Wye Valley is a protected National Landscape, and riverside sites can be in flood zones. Welsh Building Regulations apply.

Typical projects

Projects we take on in Chepstow

Typical Chepstow projects include extensions and loft conversions in Bulwark and around the town, garage conversions on newer estates, and commercial units for local businesses.

Local materials and character

Chepstow features local limestone and sandstone, rendered Georgian frontages and slate roofs. Lime-based repairs are often appropriate on older walls in the old town.
