Working in Mirfield
What a project here actually involves.
Extensions, renovations and new build homes across Mirfield and the surrounding Calder Valley.
Mirfield has a larger share of detached and substantial semi-detached property than most of the surrounding towns, and the briefs reflect that. Two-storey side extensions, garden rooms, garage conversions and full internal reworkings come up far more often here than the single-storey rear extension that dominates elsewhere.
There are also more genuine plots. Riverside and hillside sites around the town come up periodically, and they bring their own questions: levels, flood risk on the lower ground near the Calder, access for construction traffic, and how a new house sits against what is already there. Those are design questions long before they are building questions.
Mirfield is in Kirklees, the same authority as our own base, and we deal with its planning and building control teams routinely.
