We're a team of tradesmen from Pontrug, near Caernarfon. We check the work at every stage, keep the house tidy while we're in it, and keep you told what's happening.
Those are the three things our customers mention again and again – and they matter even more when you're living in the house while the work goes on. Gwynedd Construction Ltd has been building in North Wales as a limited company since 2016.
A lot of homes in Gwynedd are old stone cottages and terraces. Once you open a wall or lift a floor, you find things nobody could see at the quote stage.
Our customers say how we handle those moments matters as much as the finish. We explain what we've found and talk you through the options.
Every house is different, but every renovation follows the same order.
Visit and estimate
We walk the house with you and price the work in writing.
Plan the order
We agree which rooms go first, so you can live around the work where possible.
Strip out and structure
Walls, floors and anything hidden that needs fixing.
Plaster and floors
New walls and ceilings, screed and floors.
Finish and handover
Kitchen, doors, skirting and a clean house handed back.
The rules
Do you need permission to renovate?
Most renovation work needs no planning application. These are the exceptions:
Planning permission is not usually needed for work inside a house.
Building Regulations approval is needed for structural changes, such as taking out a load-bearing wall.
Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council for most changes, inside or out.
If your house is listed or in a conservation area, ask us before you start and we will help you check.
Protected places around here
Caernarfon town centre and parts of Bangor and Y Felinheli are conservation areas, and much of Gwynedd is inside Eryri National Park. Outside changes there may need permission.
Kept informed
We give you a start date and keep you up to date as the job goes, so you always know what's happening next.
Main home or holiday let?
Since 1 September 2024, Gwynedd Council needs planning permission before a main home becomes a second home or short-term holiday let. Eryri National Park brought in the same rule on 1 June 2025.

Areas covered
Where we renovate
We renovate homes across Gwynedd and Anglesey. Not on the list? Give us a ring and ask.
Yes. We look at the walls, floors and damp first, then plan the work around what we find.
Can I add work once you've started?
Yes. Customers often do, and we talk it through on site.
Do I need planning permission?
Not usually for work inside a house. Structural changes need Building Regulations approval, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
Do you give free quotes?
Yes. Call 07825 205657 or send the form below, and we'll arrange a free estimate.
Can I renovate a house to use as a holiday let?
You can renovate it, but in Gwynedd you now need planning permission before a main home is used as a second home or short-term holiday let. Ask us before you start and we'll help you check.
Do you do house refurbishments as well as full renovations?
Yes. From one room to the whole house, the same team does the work.
