FAQs

How much does a typical home extension cost?

Home extension costs vary significantly based on size, complexity, and specification. A single-storey rear extension typically starts from £15,000-£25,000, while double-storey extensions range from £30,000-£60,000 depending on size and finishes. Kitchen extensions with high-end specifications can range from £25,000-£50,000. We provide detailed, itemised quotes after surveying your property and understanding your requirements. Our 20 years of experience means we can accurately estimate costs and help you make informed decisions about your investment.

Do I need planning permission for my home extension?

Many home extensions fall under Permitted Development Rights and don't require planning permission, but this depends on your property type, location, and extension size. Single-storey rear extensions up to 6 metres (terraced houses) or 8 metres (detached houses) often qualify for Permitted Development. However, all extensions require Building Regulations approval for structural safety, insulation, and other technical standards. We can advise on planning requirements during our free consultation and help coordinate applications if needed.

How long does a typical domestic construction project take?

Project timelines depend on scope and complexity. A bathroom renovation typically takes 1-2 weeks, while kitchen installations range from 2-4 weeks including plumbing and electrical work. Single-storey extensions usually take 6-10 weeks, and double-storey extensions 10-16 weeks from start to completion. Loft conversions typically require 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. We provide realistic timescales during planning and keep you updated on progress throughout the project. Weather conditions and any unforeseen structural issues can affect timelines, but we always communicate any changes promptly.

What guarantees do you provide on domestic construction work?

We provide comprehensive guarantees on all our domestic construction work, with structural work guaranteed for 10 years and general building work for 2 years. All plumbing and electrical installations come with 12-month guarantees, and we use manufacturers' warranties for fixtures and fittings. Our father and son team has built our reputation over 20 years by standing behind our work. We're fully insured with public liability and employer's liability coverage, and all our work complies with current building regulations and safety standards.
