Wondering when the best time is to extend your home? Here's why you should consider extending in summer
The cost of building an extension is determined by a number of factors, including size, specification, and your location. You may be planning a basement conversion, a single storey extension, a downstairs toilet extension, or an extension over your garage. Whatever you have in mind, our experts will take a detailed brief in order to provide an accurate quote for the work.
In many cases, you can extend your home under Permitted Development (PD). For example, under PD you can extend a detached property by 8m to the rear, if it’s a single-storey extension, or by 3m if it’s double. Check with your local council and your extension specialist before you get too far into the planning stages, because your project may not meet all the criteria for PD.
Most insurers won’t cover any loss or damage incurred while a property is undergoing alteration or renovation. If you’re carrying out extension works and managing the project yourself, it’s worth discussing your project with an insurance provider, before any work begins. You may need to arrange a specific extension policy to cover the new works and the existing structure. It’s also worth enquiring about a 10-year structural warranty, as this can be provided on some new extension works.

Brilliant company thank you Geoff for everything you and y c construction done for me after the horrible experience with the last contractor. Highly recommended

I have relied on PPD for several major work packages at my house, including replacing the main bathroom and the kitchen, and have been so happy with the work and results that I have recommended them to several of my friends. Testament to the quality of their work is that fact that my friends who have gone on to use PPD also speak very highly of them. They are highly skilled and professional, only using tradespeople who meet their standards both in terms of quality of finish and respect for their clients home and neighbours. Nicola work closely with other companies to ensure seamless integration of deliveries, build schedules and other contractors (such as kitchen/bathrooms suppliers and fitters). They work hard from the first meeting to ensure that they understand your requirements and communicate to you exactly what will be needed to meet your expectations meaning that there are no mid-project hidden costs for something that was not identified early on. Once agreed, they effectively project manage the works, keeping you informed of progress and discussing with you any issues. I will certainly use PPD for any future work I need conducting and cannot recommend them highly enough.
