Coalville is the largest town in the district and the seat of the council that will decide your planning application, so it is somewhere we work regularly. Measom Building Services Ltd has been building across North West Leicestershire since 1998 and is accredited by the Federation of Master Builders.
The housing stock here is mixed — former colliery terraces, interwar semis and a good deal of newer estate housing — and each throws up different questions. A terrace has party walls to think about; a 1930s semi often has foundations that need checking before a two storey extension goes on top.
We are based in Woodville, a few miles away, which means we can look at your property before you commit to anything and keep the site properly supervised once work starts. Most of our work comes from repeat customers and recommendations.

Local Know-How
Planning & Building Regulations in Coalville
Coalville is unparished and administered directly by North West Leicestershire District Council, whose offices are in the town. Planning applications and building control for homes in Coalville go to the district council rather than to Leicestershire County Council.
Plenty of single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development and need no application at all. Almost all structural work still needs building regulations approval, though, and that is a separate process. We deal with both alongside you and work with Building Control at each inspection stage.

FAQs
Coalville — Common Questions
Do you cover the villages around Coalville?
Yes. We work throughout North West Leicestershire, including Hugglescote, Whitwick, Thringstone, Swannington, Ravenstone and Ibstock. If you are not sure whether we reach you, call and ask and we will tell you straight away.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Coalville?
It depends on the size, height and position of the extension, and on whether your property is listed or in the conservation area. Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. North West Leicestershire District Council decides, and we will tell you what we think applies at the free consultation before you spend anything on drawings.
Is my Coalville property in the conservation area?
It might be. Coalville is one of 28 conservation areas in the district and the council publishes an appraisal for each. Conservation area status does not prevent you extending, but it does affect materials and window styles and what is likely to be approved, so confirm it before finalising a design.
Can I extend a former colliery terrace in Coalville?
Usually, yes, though terraces bring their own considerations. Work on or near a shared boundary may require notice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, access for materials is often tighter, and older foundations may need investigating before anything is built above them. We look at all three at the consultation.
Do I still need building regulations approval if I do not need planning permission?
Almost always, yes. They are two separate things. Planning is about whether the work suits its surroundings; building regulations are about how it is built — structure, insulation, fire safety, drainage and ventilation. Most structural work needs building regulations approval even under permitted development.
How much does an extension cost in Coalville?
There is no honest single figure and we would rather not quote one. Cost turns on the size and shape of the extension, ground conditions and foundations, how much glazing you want, the finishes and whether drainage needs moving. We give a written quotation after a free consultation at the property.
How do I get a quote for work in Coalville?
Get in touch and we will arrange a free consultation at your property. We will talk through what you want to achieve, look at what is practical and give you honest guidance on cost and timescales before you commit to anything.
