    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about our building services, estimates, planning, FMB membership, and coverage across Berkshire.

    Building Questions We Hear Every Week

    Most customers contacting B & A Construction want clear answers before they commit to any work. They want to know whether an extension needs planning permission, how loft conversions are sequenced, what a realistic budget looks like, and which Berkshire areas we cover for site visits and projects.

    This page brings those common questions together in one place so you can understand the process before you request a survey. If you do not see your situation covered here, you can move straight to ourfree quote formor call the team for direct advice.

    Every property is different, so these answers are a starting point rather than a substitute for a site visit. We will confirm what applies to your home, access, structure, and finish expectations before giving a written estimate.
