Question 1

Are you based in Sheffield?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Think VPV Ltd is based at WDG HQ, 1st Floor, 273 Foxhill Road, Sheffield, S6 1HG. We are a genuinely local company.

Question 2

What types of construction work do you carry out?

Accepted Answer

We carry out domestic and commercial construction and renovation works — including renovations, house extensions, loft conversions, kitchen and bathroom renovation, windows and doors, gardens and driveways, new builds, property conversions, commercial renovation, and landscaping.

Question 3

Do you provide free quotations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotations following an initial site visit. We do not quote without seeing the project in person — construction projects are too variable to price accurately without a proper site assessment.

Question 4

How do I get a quote?

Accepted Answer

Contact us by phone on 0114 421 00 11, by email at haworth@thinkvpv.co.uk, or via the contact form on this website. We will get back to you to discuss your project and arrange a site visit.

Question 5

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We primarily cover Sheffield and the surrounding South Yorkshire area — including Rotherham, Barnsley, Dronfield, and Chesterfield. See our Areas We Cover page for a full list.

Question 6

Do I need planning permission for my project?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the nature and extent of the work. Many common projects — including certain extensions, loft conversions, and replacement windows — fall within permitted development rights. Others do require consent. Requirements vary by property, location, and project. We can advise on what is likely to apply during the site visit, but for formal confirmation you should consult Sheffield City Council or a professional planning adviser.

Question 7

What are building regulations, and do I need approval?

Accepted Answer

Building regulations are national minimum standards that construction work must meet, covering structure, fire safety, insulation, ventilation, drainage, and electrical and plumbing work. Building regulations approval is required for most extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations, new bathrooms, and electrical work. A completion certificate from building control is important evidence of compliance when you come to sell the property.

Question 8

How long will my project take?

Accepted Answer

Build times vary enormously depending on the scope of work, the condition of the existing property, and ground conditions. We provide a realistic programme estimate at quotation stage — we do not give arbitrary timescales before properly assessing the work.

Question 9

Do you manage all trades?

Accepted Answer

For larger renovation and extension projects, we can manage the programme of trades including plumbers, electricians, and plasterers as part of a coordinated programme. The scope of coordination is discussed at enquiry stage.

Question 10

Are you a new company?

Accepted Answer

Think VPV Ltd was incorporated on 28 August 2025 (Companies House number 16677485). We are a young company and transparent about that. We are part of the Ward-Drummond Group Ltd and are actively building our portfolio of completed work.

Question 11

What insurance do you hold?

Accepted Answer

We hold appropriate public liability insurance. Details can be provided on request as part of the quotation process.
