Why BUILT in Gloucester

A contractor with the capacity to deliver

Our team of 25 tradespeople and 4 office staff, plus our own units, gives us capacity for both domestic and commercial projects in Gloucester.

On many projects in Gloucester, 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 Gloucester 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 Gloucester

Property types

Terraced and semi-detached houses share party walls, so many extensions and loft conversions need party wall notices.

Climate and flooding

Gloucester lies on the River Severn, and parts of the city and surrounding vale are at risk of flooding. Flood risk affects design and planning.

Infrastructure and access

Busy streets and limited rear access affect deliveries and scaffolding. Commercial sites may need work phased around operations.

Building age

Older housing stock may have shallow foundations and altered roofs. We assess these before pricing structural work.

Planning in Gloucester

Planning and regulations

Gloucester City Council handles planning within the city. The historic centre and docks include conservation areas and listed buildings, and Severn flood zones affect parts of the city and its outskirts.

Typical projects

Projects we take on in Gloucester

Typical Gloucester projects include rear extensions in Longlevens and Hucclecote, loft conversions on terraces, garage conversions on newer estates in Quedgeley and Kingsway, and commercial units.

Local materials and character

Gloucester's housing is mostly red brick with slate or tile roofs, while the historic centre includes timber-framed and stone buildings. Commercial premises are often steel-framed with cladding.

Before you start your Gloucester project

  • Know roughly what you want to achieve and what you'd like to spend; we'll tell you honestly what's realistic in Gloucester.
  • Check whether your property is listed, in a conservation area or a flood zone; if you're unsure, we'll check at survey.
  • Gather any existing drawings, planning consents or surveys you already have.
  • Think about access for vehicles, skips and scaffolding, especially on narrow streets or rural lanes.
  • Ask any contractor about deposits, insurance and warranties before signing. Ours: no deposit, £10M insured, 10-year new build and 1-year standard warranties.
