House Extensions

It depends on the size, height and position of the extension, the type of property and where it is. Some extensions fall under permitted development, while others need planning permission. Building Regulations approval is a separate requirement that usually applies either way, so check with your local planning authority or an architect before work starts.

The cost depends on the size and type of extension, ground conditions and foundations, the structure and roof design, the specification of windows, kitchens or bathrooms, site access and any professional fees. We quote once the design and scope are clear enough to price accurately.

Often, yes. Much of the work happens outside the existing house until the new space is opened up. We plan how access, dust and noise are managed, and tell you which stages are likely to be more disruptive.

Drawings help us price accurately, so upload them if you have them. If you are at an earlier stage, tell us what you want to achieve and we can explain what drawings or professional input the project is likely to need.
