Common Questions

We are here to help, and if you have any additional questions please get in touch.

Do I need planning permission?

This will depend on the type of work that you are considering. If you are making small adjustments to your property this may not be required. If you are extending your home or thinking of developing your land then planning consent from the Local Authority is most likely required. We are happy to advise you on planning and building regulation requirements or refer you to the appropriate person.

Would you charge us to come and look at work?

No. We are very happy to meet new and existing clients to discuss your own requirements for small or larger projects.

Are you insured?

Yes. We will only undertake projects and work that we are completely insured to do and copies of such policies are available upon request. In addition to this, we take great pride in our work and if something is found not to be correct, we will endeavour to bring this to a prompt and positive resolution.

Will you buy land without planning permission?

Yes. We will purchase land on a subject to planning basis and work between parties solicitors to agree the appropriate legal framework that is mutually beneficial.

Do you have references?

Yes. We work very closely with our clients who are usually very happy to recommend us and to give you feedback about the service they have received from our teams. We also try to share with this website some of these testimonials and work that we have completed. Specific references are available upon request and subject to us complying with all the necessary GDPR requirement.

Do you also complete small building works as well as large jobs and planning applications?

Yes. We are in some senses slightly unusual because we have a team with differing and complementary skill sets. We have a department who complete repairs, maintenance and building work as well as the ability to purchase land.

Testimonials

Client Feedback

  • A Big Thank You!

    A big thank you to James and his team for quickly boarding up the front of our pub – The Fox and Goose – and reducing the time lost to a large section of our restaurant. Despite challenging weather conditions, the real build was completed and decorated shortly after. Thank you again for a prompt service and it’s been good to work with your guys.

  • Very reliable

    We have used Oakleaf and their small works department to complete a number of externals jobs around our church buildings on behalf of Clifton Diocese. They have been competitively priced, reliable and punctual, completing work as they promised. I would be happy to recommend them to others in Salisbury. 

  • Absolutely delighted

    I have worked with many builders in the area and we have used Oakleaf a number of times to make repairs to our landlords properties. We recently had a roofing company let us down for an emergency replacement roof and we spoke to Jack who was able to visit the job and within two days had his team making a replacement of a garage roof, including the rebuilding of the structure. The job was completed within three days much to the delight of our landlord.

  • Thank you!

    Thank you, James, for your efforts in looking at the development potential of our farm and can we also thank your team for the work completed.

  • Minimal disruption

    We posed a challenging project to James and the team at Oakleaf –  clearing away old and rotten decking, a dilapidated shed and overgrown hedges; constructing a retaining wall and landscaping and levelling a lawn area – all within a constrained site with difficult access. Oakleaf were ideally suited and more than up to the job, including negotiating access with adjacent landowners neighbouring properties and delivering the work with minimal disruption, ensuring everyone was happy with the outcome.

  • Excellent service

    James helped us to achieve planning permission for a three-bedroom detached bungalow in the Bourne Valley and assisted with us working with the homeowner on the negotiating the purchase and option agreement. He is straightforward and clear with the work that he completes, and we will certainly hope to work with him in the future.
