Frequently Asked Questions
Can you manage the electrical work as part of a building project?
Yes — this is one of the key advantages of working with Kent Trade Solutions. Barry can carry out all electrical first and second fix work as part of a larger building project, coordinated with the building contractor at the correct stage.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall within permitted development rights and do not require planning permission, subject to size limits and other conditions. We can advise on whether your project is likely to require planning permission and refer you to a planning consultant if needed.
