We also take on work in other parts of Doncaster depending on the project. Doncaster is a large borough with a wide range of housing: Victorian terraces near the town centre, extensive inter-war and post-war estates, former colliery villages and modern developments on the edges of town. Common projects in Doncaster include rear extensions, loft conversions, full refurbishments and new kitchens. Parts of the borough are low-lying and close to the River Don, and flooding in 2019 affected several communities, so drainage and flood resilience are considered in any building work here. ### North Doncaster close by Askern, Thorne, Hatfield and Bentley are closest to our base. ### Wide range of homes From terraces and inter-war semis to former colliery houses. ### Extensions and lofts The most common requests from Doncaster homeowners. ### Seven days a week Working 7:30am to 7:30pm, including weekends.

When you book work in Doncaster, Andrew is the person who visits, quotes, runs the job and answers the phone. He works hands-on where needed and brings in trusted specialist trades for each discipline, so you are not handed between a salesperson, a project manager and a crew you have never met. For loft conversions and extensions in Doncaster, Andrew handles building control sign-off himself throughout the project. That means inspections happen at the right stages and the certificate is there when you need it, whether that is next year or when you come to sell. ### One accountable person Andrew runs every Doncaster project personally, from first visit to handover. ### 18 years in the trade Self-employed in the building trade since the age of 18. ### Qualified joinery City & Guilds in Joinery and Carpentry, the backbone of lofts, extensions and refurbishments. ### Building control handled Sign-off managed by Andrew himself on loft conversions and extensions. ### Registered gas and electrics Carried out by our registered gas engineer and registered electrician. ### Seven days a week Working in Doncaster from 7:30am to 7:30pm, including weekends. Local knowledge ## Common building issues in Doncaster Doncaster's low-lying areas, mining heritage and varied housing all need to be considered when planning renovation work. ### Flood risk near the Don Parts of Doncaster are low-lying and close to the River Don. Flood risk can affect planning, floor levels and foundation design for extensions. ### Former mining areas Doncaster has a long history of coal mining. Depending on location, mining searches may be relevant for extension foundations. Former colliery houses are often compact, making loft conversions and extensions a good way to add space. ### Inter-war and post-war estates These homes often have good-sized gardens and roofs suitable for loft conversions, making them well suited to adding space. ### Older terraces Victorian terraces near the town centre often need rewiring, new heating, damp treatment and layout improvements as part of a refurbishment. ### Kitchens and knock-throughs Many Doncaster semis and terraces have a separate kitchen and dining room. Knocking through or extending to the rear creates an open-plan kitchen-diner. Load-bearing walls need a properly specified beam and building control sign-off, which Andrew manages as part of the project. Kitchens are then fitted with electrics by our registered electrician and gas connections by our registered gas engineer, with tiling completed in the same project.

Common questions ## Building work in Doncaster: your questions answered Anything else, ask Andrew on 07939 194244. 7:30am to 7:30pm, 7 days a week. ### Do you cover Doncaster? +Yes. Design Built Right is based in Thorpe Willoughby, near Selby, and Doncaster is part of our regular working area. Doncaster is reached from our base near Selby via the A19 and M18, and the northern side of the borough is closest to us. ### How quickly can you visit a property in Doncaster? +Andrew arranges site visits around booked work, seven days a week between 7:30am and 7:30pm. Call 07939 194244 and he will give you the earliest date he can get to you in Doncaster. ### How much does a renovation cost in Doncaster? +Every job in Doncaster is priced individually after Andrew has seen the property, because size, condition and the level of finish change the figure more than location does. Pricing is never less than a day rate, and a deposit is taken before work starts, which varies by type of job. You get a clear, itemised quote before you commit. ### Do you offer emergency call-outs in Doncaster? +No. Design Built Right is a planned renovation business rather than an emergency service. We do work seven days a week, including weekends, on booked projects in Doncaster and across Yorkshire. ### Which parts of Doncaster do you cover? +North Doncaster, including Askern, Adwick le Street, Bentley, Thorne, Hatfield and Norton, is closest to our base. We also take on projects elsewhere in the borough, so call Andrew to talk about your location. ### Does flood risk affect extensions in Doncaster? +It can in some areas. Properties close to the Don or in low-lying areas may need flood-risk information for planning and suitable floor levels. Andrew will consider this for your project. ### Can you convert a loft in a former colliery house? +Often, yes. Andrew will check the roof structure, head height and staircase position at survey. ### Do you do full refurbishments in Doncaster? +Yes. Full house refurbishments in Doncaster, from terraced houses near the town centre to post-war semis, are planned in the right order: strip-out, rewiring and heating by our registered trades, plastering, joinery, kitchens and bathrooms, then tiling and flooring. Andrew runs the whole job, so you deal with one person throughout rather than a string of separate trades. ### Who carries out gas and electrical work in Doncaster? +Gas work is carried out by our registered gas engineer and electrical work by our registered electrician. Andrew co-ordinates both as part of your project; he does not carry out gas work himself. ## Nearby areas we cover - Goole - Pontefract - Selby - Sherburn in ElmetSee every area we cover, browse all services, return to the homepage or contact Andrew. ## Planning work on your Doncaster home?
