Why BUILT in Monmouth

A contractor with the capacity to deliver

We're close enough to Monmouth to know the area well, and we build to Welsh Building Regulations, which differ in places from England's.

On many projects in Monmouth, 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 Monmouth 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 Monmouth

Property types

Period stone and brick homes in the town centre need breathable materials, and much of the centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings.

Climate and flooding

Monmouth sits where the Rivers Monnow and Wye meet, and parts of the town have a long history of flooding. Flood risk must be considered on low-lying sites.

Infrastructure and access

Narrow town-centre streets, limited parking and protected historic fabric affect access and logistics. Rural sites often need private drainage.

Building age

Many buildings in the town date from the 18th and 19th centuries, with roofs and floors altered over time, which we assess carefully at survey.

Planning in Monmouth

Planning and regulations

Monmouthshire County Council handles planning in Monmouth. The historic town centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings, and parts of the town are in flood zones near the Wye and Monnow. Welsh Building Regulations apply.

Typical projects

Projects we take on in Monmouth

Typical Monmouth projects include rear extensions on family homes, loft conversions in period houses, barn conversions in the surrounding countryside and new builds on rural plots.

Local materials and character

Monmouth's town centre features Georgian brick and rendered frontages, sandstone, and slate roofs. Lime render and breathable paints are often the right finish on older walls.

Before you start your Monmouth project

  • 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.
