Challenges & Solutions

  • Garden backs onto fields so customer wanted to maximise views from the room, built a glass corner window

  • Customer was unsure whether to install air con straight away, so we installed an external power point (25AMP rotary isolator switch) to make it easy for air con to be installed in future if they decide to.

  • Customer wanted to have a taller ceiling height of 2.4m in order to use gym equipment i.e. treadmill (2.1m is standard ceiling height when building to permitted development rules of 2.5m external height), which meant we needed to get planning permission. This is a simple process for which RGR supplied the technical drawings and assisted the customer in submitting a ‘householder planning application’ via the planning portal.
