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.

From start to finish we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with our kitchen extension. Which involved knocking two rooms into one and extending out 3m on a Victorian property. Alaa, Gulvinder and his team were real professionals from start to finish. From initial meetings to completion nothing was too much trouble and they really cared about our project, making sure every detail was perfect which is not easy as I am a perfectionist. The standard of work and finish is exceptional. They were very happy to meet with other contractors on the build such as the bi-fold and windows companies and did their very best to accommodate them. Communication was brilliant throughout and they were a pleasure to have around. I have genuinely never seen such hard workers and they were polite clean and tidy and thoughtful about our neighbours needs too. We were on time, on budget and still can’t believe that it’s our kitchen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone and have been signing their praises to anyone who’ll listen. Get them round for a quote – you won’t be disappointed.

I have been working with Andi and Tili for the last month on various projects in a newly purchased property. They have been the best contractors I have worked with and will be doing future projects as well. The projects included Knocking down interior support walls and installing Oak and Metal Beams Relocation and replacing radiators Installing new flooring Brand new paving around the property Reinstalling and replacing old fence posts I could have not asked for a better team to work with. All this work was done whilst I was away and he kept me up to date daily with photographs and phone calls. I have passed them on to friends and family to do further projects. Thank you very much.
