About Telford
Building Services in Telford, Shropshire
Telford is one of England's most successful planned new towns, developed from the 1960s onwards from the historic communities of Dawley, Madeley and Wellington. Today Telford is home to over 180,000 people and offers a remarkable variety of housing – from Victorian properties in Wellington and Newport to 1970s estates in Dawley, Stirchley and Brookside, and modern 21st-century developments throughout the borough. The stunning Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, sits at the heart of the area.
TSS Building Services has been working with Telford homeowners for over 15 years and understands the unique character of the borough. The large proportion of 1970s and 1980s homes across estates like Brookside, Hollinswood and Stirchley represent excellent opportunities – many feature single garages that were built for cars but never used that way, and they convert superbly into home offices, playrooms or bedrooms. Telford's mix of housing types from different eras keeps our work varied and our teams experienced across all construction methods.

Planning & Building Regulations in Telford
Planning permission in Telford is administered by Telford & Wrekin Council, which is a separate local authority from Shropshire Council. Most standard home extensions and garage conversions in Telford qualify as Permitted Development rights. The key exception is properties in or adjacent to the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, where additional planning controls apply and formal consent is likely required. Wellington also has conservation area designations. TSS Building Services is experienced working with Telford & Wrekin Council and handles all planning matters on your behalf.

Customer Reviews
What Telford Customers Say
"After working from home became permanent, we needed a proper office space. TSS converted our single garage into a fantastic workspace in just three weeks. The insulation, electrics and plastering are all top notch. The communication throughout was excellent – no surprises, no delays. Already recommending them to neighbours."

FAQs
Common Questions About Building Work in Telford
Most home extensions in Telford qualify as Permitted Development under Telford & Wrekin Council rules, meaning no formal planning application is required. Standard single storey rear extensions within size limits typically qualify. However, properties near the Ironbridge World Heritage Site boundary and those in Wellington's conservation area are subject to stricter controls. TSS Building Services checks your planning position before any work begins.
Yes – Telford & Wrekin is a separate unitary authority from Shropshire Council, and has its own planning department and Local Plan. TSS Building Services is experienced with both authorities and handles all planning submissions, building regulations applications and liaison with inspectors on your behalf, whichever council covers your area.
If your property falls within or immediately adjacent to the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site buffer zone, additional planning controls will apply. This means formal planning permission is likely required even for works that would normally be Permitted Development, and designs must be sympathetic to the heritage character of the area. TSS Building Services has experience navigating these requirements and will advise you clearly during the free consultation.
Extremely popular. A large proportion of Telford's housing stock from the 1970s and 1980s includes integral or attached garages that owners rarely use for vehicles. Converting these into home offices, playrooms, gyms or extra bedrooms is one of the most cost-effective improvements Telford homeowners can make. Most qualify as Permitted Development and TSS Building Services can typically complete a single garage conversion in 4 to 6 weeks.
