Whether you need planning permission for your extension depends on several factors, including its size, location, and impact on neighbouring properties. Some extensions fall under permitted development rights (PD), meaning you don\u2019t need full planning permission. We can advise you on this and how best to proceed.<\/p>\n
[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”How much does a home extension cost?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” question_heading_text_color=”#ff6600″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
The cost depends on factors such as size, scale, materials, design complexity and also location. If needed, we can help you obtain cost estimates before work begins to assist with budget planning.<\/p>\n
[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”How long does it take to build an extension?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” question_heading_text_color=”#ff6600″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The timeline depends on the scale of the project. A straightforward single-storey extension<\/strong> may take around 3-4 months<\/strong>, while a larger or two-storey extension<\/strong> could take 6-12 months<\/strong>. We can provide a project timeline at the outset to keep things on track.<\/p>\n
[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”Will an extension add value to my home?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” question_heading_text_color=”#ff6600″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Yes, a well-designed extension can increase your property\u2019s value<\/strong> and make it more attractive to buyers. The potential increase depends on the type of extension and its impact on the home\u2019s functionality. We ensure that designs enhance both your lifestyle and long-term investment potential<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\nYes! We offer a full service, from initial design and Planning applications<\/strong> to Building Control approval and sign-off if required<\/strong>. We work closely with local councils<\/strong> and contractors to ensure your extension is compliant with local Building Regulations and tailored to meet your needs. Would you like to discuss your extension plans? Get in touch, and we\u2019ll be happy to guide you through the process!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In most cases, you won\u2019t need to move out<\/strong>, as many extensions can be built while you remain in the home. However, if major structural work affects essential areas like the kitchen or bathroom<\/strong>, some temporary disruption is likely. We will discuss the logistics with you in advance and help minimise any inconvenience.<\/p>\n
