Frequently asked questions
Have a question?
Do I need planning permission for a home extension?
It depends on the size and type of extension you are planning. Some home extensions can be built under Permitted Development rights, but there are strict rules regarding their size, height and location. For example, rear extensions extending beyond certain limits may require prior approval or full planning permission from your local authority.If you're unsure what's required for your project, don't worry. We can help you understand the regulations, work alongside your architect, and guide you through the planning and building control process from start to finish.
Do you help with architects and structural engineers?
Yes. We regularly work alongside trusted architects, structural engineers and other specialists. You can connect with our recommended architect here.
How much does a home extension cost?
The cost of an extension varies depending on the design, specification, structural requirements, and finishes chosen. After reviewing your plans and requirements, we'll provide a detailed quotation with transparent pricing and no hidden surprises.
Can I live in my home while the extension is being built?
In many cases, yes. We work carefully to minimise disruption and keep your home safe and functional throughout the project. For larger extensions that significantly affect kitchens or essential living areas, temporary arrangements may be recommended.
Will an extension add value to my property?
A professionally designed and constructed extension can significantly increase your home's value while making it more practical for modern family life. Additional bedrooms, larger kitchens, and open-plan living spaces are particularly attractive to future buyers.
