Describe what you want the house to do differently and which parts of the existing layout you want to keep.</p><p>Alongside Watford, our coverage includes Bushey, Rickmansworth, Radlett and St Albans. If your address is nearby, include the postcode and a description of the work when you get in touch.</p></section><section class="detail-section"><h2>Look at the whole ground floor</h2><p>If a rear extension is the starting point, consider how the existing kitchen, hallway and living rooms will connect to it. Finishing levels, doors and access to the garden are easier to discuss when the whole layout is included in the brief.</p><p>For a refurbishment, a room-by-room list helps distinguish repairs, alterations and finishes. Tell us whether the house will be empty or occupied; this helps frame the discussion about the programme and the order of work.</p></section><section class="detail-section"><h2>Check the authority for the property</h2><p>For an address within Watford Borough, the council publishes planning and building control guidance. Its building control information covers applications for extensions, conversions, alterations and new buildings.</p><p>A Watford postal address and the relevant council should not be assumed to be the same thing. Confirm the authority for the site before relying on a particular application route, and share any existing approvals or correspondence with your project brief.</p></section><p class="official-resource"><a href="https://www.watford.gov.uk/planning-building-control">Watford Borough Council: planning and building control <span aria-hidden="true">↗</span></a></p><section class="detail-section"><h2>Questions before you start</h2><details><summary>Is R Craft Construction based in Watford?</summary><p>Yes.
