Extensions

Whether your extension needs building from scratch or you’re looking to renovate an existing structure, we have it covered.

We’ll help take care of everything, from plans and design through to construction and building regulations. This isn’t a service all builders provide, but we do, because it helps ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish, so you don’t have to worry about a single thing.

What type of extension do I need?

You may be considering a simple rear extension or perhaps a two story side extension. Maybe  you have an idea of what you’d like, but can’t see how to make it work. Again we can help. We’ll advise you what type of extensions are possible and help you come to the right decision.

If a rear or side extension isn’t possible, we also specialise in loft conversions.

Will I need Planning Permission?

That depends. Simple rear extensions, usually don’t require planning permission. However, more extensive developments, such as two story side extensions will require the submission of plans and subsequent approval.

We can offer informal advice regarding planning permission, but you will need to check the current planning regulations with your local borough council. You should also bear in mind that if it’s required, we won’t be able to start work until planning permission is granted. This can take up to 12 weeks.

If plans are required and you’ll need an architect, we can point you in the right direction.

We’ve provided helpful links to the planning sections of a number of council websites for in the section below.
