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.

James and his team built an extension on my house in Cardiff. They provided a competitive quote with the extension being delivered on time and on budget. The extension was built in accordance with the Architect’s plans and in accordance with the advice of the Structural Engineer - all signed off by the Building Inspector. The sub-contractors used (plasterer/electrician/roofer) were all specialists and delivered high quality work. Nothing was too much trouble - with the team returning to deal with small snags after the project had been completed and the final balance paid. I would recommend James for building work and have since personally recommended him to other people for building work and extensions.

Jimmy from A.G.S Contractors did an excellent job from beginning to end. He understood our needs, worked hard and was courteous throughout. We now have a beautiful new garden fence and gate for a great price. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
