A short run up the A4136 from our Cinderford yard, so we’re out here often. Extensions, renovations and kitchen or bathroom refits for both the older cottages in the town and the newer estates on its edge.

A quick trip up the A4136 from Cinderford

Mitcheldean sits a short drive north of our yard at Ruspidge, which means we can usually turn a site visit around quickly and keep a close eye on a job without losing half a day to the journey.

It’s close enough that being “local” isn’t just a line in an advert, we’re genuinely on your doorstep.

Kitchen refit of the kind common in Mitcheldean's homes

Two kinds of housing, one team

Old cottages in the middle, newer estates on the edge

Mitcheldean’s centre has a run of older cottages and terraced houses along the main street, while the edges of town have filled in with more recent estate housing over the last few decades. The work differs accordingly, older solid-wall properties need a more careful approach to extending, while the newer homes are usually a simpler build.

We take on extensions and renovations across both, plus a good number of kitchen and bathroom refits, often the first upgrade people want before deciding whether to extend at all.

Common questions

Mitcheldean, answered

It’s one of the closer places we cover, a short drive up the A4136 from our yard in Cinderford. We can usually fit in a site visit within a few days, sometimes sooner.

Generally yes. Modern cavity-wall construction and a standard driveway make access and build methods more predictable than an older property, though we still check foundations, drainage runs and any covenants before quoting.

Often, yes. Older cottages in the town centre can have solid walls, uneven floor levels and less predictable foundations than a modern build, so we survey properly before quoting rather than pricing it like a standard extension.

Both, and plenty of the work we do around Mitcheldean is exactly this size, a kitchen or bathroom refit rather than a full extension. Same team, same standard of finish, whatever the scale of the job.

It varies street by street. Some of the older parts of town are tighter than the estates. We’ll check access as part of the quote and plan deliveries and any skip placement around it, rather than assuming a lorry can simply pull up.
