Under current UK Government regulations, a ground floor extension is permitted without the need of planning permission providing the proposed rear extension is no longer than 4m or 6m (or between 6m and 8m for a detached property) out from the original property and the same width as the original property. Side extensions need to be no more than ½ the width of the original property and only single storey in order for it to fall within the Permitted Development Rights. However, we always recommend contacting your local council to confirm permission for any changes you make to your property.
Depending on the size and if it is a single or double storey, extensions can take between 3-4 months to complete.
Yes, of course. If you are living in the property, we will create a sealed division between your living area and the construction area to minimise dust, dirt and disturbance. We would work our way in, meaning that we would construct as much as possible externally before joining the new construction with the existing property.
We supply all the structural materials and 1st fix in relation to the electric and plumbing work. The 2nd fix is usually supplied by the client but fitted by us, as these materials vary in terms of design and price based on personal preference. The same applies to the decorative materials, such as floor and wall tiles, flooring, coving, etc. We do provide trade paint from Dulux, Crown or Johnstone’s, all we ask is for the client to make a colour choice-which can often be the hardest decision to make!
This depends on which rooms are being renovated, but if you are still living in the property, we will work out a schedule that will ensure you have access to all the amenities you need for as long as possible. You will always be kept informed of what is being done and when, so you can plan your day around the project.
In order to start constructing a new build property, full planning permission is required from the local council where all architect drawings and structural calculations have been approved. All amenities will also need to be approved in writing from the relevant suppliers.
