The Slaithwaite brief
For a property around Slaithwaite, Marsden or Golcar, examine the route between the road and the work area before agreeing a renovation programme. Steps, shared passages or a steep approach can affect the order and size of deliveries. Record the site’s actual conditions rather than assuming every valley property is alike.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
HD7 / 01
Break the delivery route into workable stages
Bring to the conversationA route survey and photographs of each restriction.
Why this matters
Measure gates, stairs and turning spaces and identify where materials can be set down. Discuss handling and waste removal before selecting components that cannot pass through the available route.
HD7 / 02
Record external character before alteration
Bring to the conversationElevation photographs and a repair-and-alteration schedule.
Why this matters
Use the Kirklees conservation index for the address and photograph existing roof, window and stone details. Separate repairs from proposed changes so the design brief is clear.
