Design & structural considerations

Every extension begins with the existing house: its structure, proportions, light and materials. We consider rooflines, glazing ratios, ceiling heights and how new spaces connect to old, so the finished work reads as a coherent whole rather than an addition.

Planning & Building Regulations

Most extensions require Building Regulations approval even where planning permission is not needed. Some fall within permitted development rights; others — particularly in conservation areas or on listed buildings — require a full planning application. We advise on the correct route before any commitment is made.

[ Frequently Asked Questions ]

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Not always. Many single-storey extensions fall within permitted development rights, subject to size, position and previous alterations. We confirm the correct route for your property during the design stage.

How long does a typical extension take?

Programmes vary with size and complexity. As broad guidance, a single-storey extension typically takes several months on site once approvals are in place. We provide a realistic programme with every detailed proposal.

Can we stay in the house during the work?

In most cases, yes. We plan the sequence of work to keep the home safe and habitable, agree dust and access arrangements in advance, and keep sites clean and respectful throughout.

Do you provide a fixed quotation?

We provide a detailed, itemised proposal before work begins, so you understand exactly what is included. Any changes during the project are agreed in writing before they are carried out.
