Not all types of extension require planning permission, such as glass extensions or loft conversions. It largely depends on the general size and location. We can help you understand all local planning regulations and requirements before making any decisions or proceeding with the extension.

This will depend on the type of extension being planned, for example planning single-storey side house extensions will likely be quicker than the time required to outline a two-storey wrap-around house extension. Whatever your vision, our team strive to help you make the planning process quick and efficient.

Regardless of whether your project requires planning permission or not, most house extensions throughout the UK need approval under the Building Regulations 2010. This is especially true when planning to replace or install windows, doors, electrics, heating systems, plumbing and roofs. We will help you to establish the exact approvals needed from your local authority.

During the planning stages of your house extension project, your neighbours will be able to express any concerns they may have, particularly if you are making major adjustments to your property. What is more, they may be disturbed throughout the construction period so it is important to keep them informed of your intentions from the start.

For jobs such as extensions and conversions, the best formula is the square metre rule – generally, build work will cost between £1,500 and £2,500 a square metre, but local factors may affect the price for your project and your level of specification will have a bearing.

We make sure your quotation is as thorough and detailed as possible, ensuring that we have explored all possibilities and potential issues so that the costings are as accurate as possible.
