Why BUILT in Newent
A contractor with the capacity to deliver
Being based nearby means we can visit easily for surveys and keep projects running smoothly. Our team has the capacity for both small and large rural projects.
On many projects in Newent, 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 Newent 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 Newent
Property types
Older timber-framed and brick buildings need compatible materials. Agricultural buildings often need structural repair before conversion.
Climate and flooding
Clay soils in parts of the area can shrink and swell, and low-lying land near streams can flood, both of which affect foundation design.
Infrastructure and access
Many rural properties rely on private drainage, and narrow lanes restrict delivery vehicles.
Building age
The town centre has buildings dating back centuries, and rural barns are often very old, needing careful structural survey.
Planning in Newent
Planning and regulations
Forest of Dean District Council handles planning in Newent. The town centre is a conservation area, and rural planning policies apply to the surrounding countryside and agricultural buildings.
Typical projects
Projects we take on in Newent
Typical Newent projects include extensions to family homes, converting barns in the villages around Dymock and Kempley, new builds on rural plots, and agricultural buildings for farms.
Local materials and character
Newent mixes timber framing, local red brick and sandstone with clay tile roofs. Farm buildings around the town often combine brick, timber cladding and corrugated roofs that need replacing during conversion.
