Living Design & Build covers the whole of Telford, Wellington, Newport, Madeley, Dawley and Ironbridge from our Bridgnorth base. We handle extensions, loft conversions, new builds and full refurbishments across TF1 to TF13.
Telford's housing stock skews younger than the rest of Shropshire — large estates of 1980s and 1990s detached and semi-detached homes that respond well to single-storey rear extensions, garage conversions and kitchen-diner remodels. Around Ironbridge and Madeley we work with older terraces and listed properties within the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, which requires careful planning and heritage compliance.
Telford is under Telford & Wrekin Council. Ironbridge Gorge has additional World Heritage Site planning controls — we work with heritage consultants where required. Most modern-estate rear extensions fall under permitted development. We handle the full planning process.

Yes — we have experience working within the WHS buffer zone and have completed sensitive restoration projects in Madeley and Ironbridge. World Heritage controls require careful planning, which we manage on behalf of clients.
A typical integral garage conversion into a habitable room costs £18,000–£32,000 depending on insulation requirements, glazing, heating and finishes. Detached garage conversions are usually £25,000–£45,000.
Single-storey rear extensions with bi-fold or sliding doors and open-plan kitchen-diners are by far the most requested project on Telford's 1980s–1990s estates. We typically quote 12–14 weeks for these builds.
