What services do HK Builders offer in Edgbaston?
Edgbaston is a leafy Birmingham suburb of established period houses on tree-lined roads, and a large part of it sits within the Edgbaston Conservation Area. Projects here need to respect that character while still delivering a modern, comfortable home, which suits a wide range of work, from rear and side extensions and loft conversions through to full renovations and replacement homes on larger plots.
Extensions
Single storey, double storey and wraparound extensions to add kitchen, living or bedroom space.
Loft conversions
Dormer, hip-to-gable and Velux loft conversions to turn unused roof space into usable rooms.
New builds
New-build homes managed from groundworks through to a finished, ready-to-move-into property.
Renovations
Whole-house renovations and refurbishments, from single rooms to full property overhauls.
Garage conversions
Converting an existing garage into a playroom, home office, gym or extra living space.
Roofing
Roof repairs and replacements alongside our building projects.
In the conservation area, parts of Edgbaston are covered by an Article 4 direction, which removes some permitted development rights, so work as small as replacing windows or re-roofing can need planning permission. If you are not sure which service fits your project, or whether your property is affected, a free site visit and consultation is the best place to start.

Do I need planning permission for building work in Edgbaston?
It depends on the type of work. Many extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development, subject to size limits and any local restrictions, while larger projects such as new builds typically need full planning permission. Edgbaston is part of Birmingham, so Birmingham City Council is the local planning authority, not Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. A large part of Edgbaston is a conservation area, and parts of it are covered by an Article 4 direction that takes away some permitted development rights, so even smaller jobs such as replacing windows or re-roofing can need planning permission. Larger projects such as new builds and replacement homes typically need full planning permission. We check every project against Birmingham City Council's rules before recommending a route, and handle any application on your behalf.
