Building in Malvern
Building on the hills.
Malvern is around 8 miles from our Worcester base, making it one of the closest towns we work in. We cover Great Malvern and the surrounding settlements along and below the Malvern Hills.
The town grew as a Victorian spa, so large stone and brick villas sit on the slopes of the hills alongside terraces, later suburbs and modern estates. Many properties are on sloping sites, which affects foundations, drainage and access.
Common Malvern projects include extensions to Victorian and later homes, loft conversions, refurbishments of large period houses and new builds on hillside or infill plots.
We manage Malvern projects as one main contractor, with a network of over 90 subcontractors behind us.
Many Malvern homes also enjoy views across the Severn Vale or towards the hills, and extensions are often designed to make the most of them. Getting the orientation, glazing and level changes right at the design stage makes a significant difference to how the finished space feels.
Planning a Malvern project
Malvern's slopes are the single biggest influence on many projects in the town. A level-looking garden may still fall away sharply, and building into a hillside can require deeper foundations, retaining walls and careful drainage design to manage water running off the hills.
We look at the shape of your site, the ground and the existing structure during a free site survey for qualified enquiries, then set out the scope in a written quotation.
For larger Victorian houses, refurbishment often involves more than finishes. Older services, solid walls and previous alterations are assessed so that new work is planned around how the building actually performs.
If you choose design and build, we manage planning permission and building regulations, including checking any conservation-area or protected-landscape considerations. The build then proceeds in clear stages with stage payments linked to milestones.

Know before you build
Building challenges
specific to Malvern.
Malvern's hills, stone and Victorian heritage bring specific considerations.
Large Victorian houses
Spa-era villas often have solid walls, high ceilings and older services. Refurbishment and extension need to account for how these buildings were built and how they have been altered over time.
Hillside water run-off
Rainfall running off the hills, springs and steep gradients make surface water and drainage design important on Malvern sites.
Steep sites and access
Sloping plots, steps and narrow roads can complicate deliveries and excavation. Retaining structures may be needed when building into a slope.
Conservation and protected landscape
Parts of Malvern are in conservation areas, and the hills are within the Malvern Hills National Landscape. Planning controls should be checked early.
Your free site survey
What we check at your Malvern property.
Every Malvern project starts with a free site survey for qualified enquiries. We look at the existing structure, the ground, drainage runs and how materials and trades will get on and off site. We also talk through how you use your home now and what you want the finished space to do.
Where planning is likely to be involved, we consider whether the property is listed, in a conservation area or affected by flood risk or planning conditions, so the right route is chosen from the start. You then receive a clear written quotation, with no obligation to go ahead.
