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.

D&A recently converted our garage into a fantastic gym space, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, their professionalism shone through in every interaction. Communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring. We never felt out of the loop, and every question was met with a thoughtful, timely response. One of the things we appreciated most was how faithfully D&A stuck to their commitments. They were timely, proactive, and incredibly reliable throughout the entire project. The team arrived exactly when they said they would, every single day, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to find a building company you can truly trust, but D&A are absolutely that. A special mention has to go to Andrea, the director of the company and our project lead. His guidance, organisation, and positive attitude set the tone for the entire build. He was always attentive, transparent, and genuinely committed to delivering the best possible outcome for us. Knowing he was overseeing everything gave us complete confidence from day one. What also sets D&A apart is the strength of their team. Each member is a specialist in their own area, and it shows. Whether it was the structural work, electrics, flooring, or finishing touches, every stage was handled with care, skill, and a clear sense of pride in their craft. Our garage has been completely transformed, and we now have a gym space that is both practical and beautifully finished. We are incredibly grateful to Andrea and the whole D&A team for their hard work, trustworthiness, and outstanding commitment. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a talented and dependable group of builders. Mitz & Sarina
