Loughborough is the largest town in Charnwood and a good deal of our work sits in and around it. Measom Building Services Ltd has been building across this part of the East Midlands since 1998 and is accredited by the Federation of Master Builders.
The town's housing runs from Victorian terraces near the centre through substantial interwar suburbs to modern estates on the edges. A terrace extension raises party wall and access questions a detached 1930s house never will, so the starting point differs street by street.
We are based in Woodville. Every project is managed from the first consultation through to the final finish by the same team, so you always know who is on site and who to call.

Local Know-How
Planning & Building Regulations in Loughborough
Loughborough is in the borough of Charnwood, so planning applications and building control for homes in the town go to Charnwood Borough Council — not to North West Leicestershire District Council, which covers much of the rest of our area. It is the single most common mix-up we hear.
Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development and need no application at all. Building regulations approval is a separate requirement covering almost all structural work. We handle both with you and work alongside Building Control at each inspection stage.

FAQs
Loughborough — Common Questions
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Loughborough?
Not always. It turns on the size, height and position of the extension and on whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. We will tell you what we think applies at the free consultation, before you spend anything on drawings.
Do I still need building regulations approval if I do not need planning permission?
Almost always, yes. The two are separate. 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 approval even under permitted development.
How much does an extension cost in Loughborough?
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.
Do I need to tell my neighbours before work starts?
If you are building on or near a shared boundary, or excavating close to a neighbouring property, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may require you to serve notice. That is separate from planning permission. We will flag it if we think it applies, so it is handled early rather than becoming a dispute mid-build.
How do I get a quote for work in Loughborough?
Get in touch and we will arrange a free consultation at the property. We will talk through what you want to achieve, look at what is practical and give honest guidance on cost and timescales before you commit to anything.
Which council covers planning in Loughborough?
Charnwood Borough Council. This catches people out, because much of the surrounding area is North West Leicestershire District Council. If you are in Loughborough or Shepshed it is Charnwood; get that right before you submit anything.
Can I extend a Victorian terrace in Loughborough?
Usually, yes, though terraces bring specific considerations. Work on or near a shared boundary may require notice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, access for materials is often restricted, and shallow Victorian foundations may need underpinning or investigation before anything is built above. We assess all three at the consultation.
