The Great Horton brief
For a Great Horton or Lidget Green renovation, begin by distinguishing the original building from later changes. A removed wall, enclosed stair or converted cellar may affect the next proposal. Work from what can be established by drawings and survey rather than assuming every alteration was designed together.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
BD7 / 01
Create an alteration record
Bring to the conversationA marked-up plan and documents for earlier work.
Why this matters
Mark previous changes on the floor plan and gather the decisions, certificates or drawings you hold. Identify gaps that need investigation before a structural opening or new layout is priced.
BD7 / 02
Assess lower-level rooms before choosing finishes
Bring to the conversationA section through the lower level and a condition photograph set.
Why this matters
If a cellar or partly buried room is involved, record ground levels, ventilation and signs of water. Ask what investigation is needed for the intended use before specifying lining systems or decoration.
The address matters
