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.

I was introduced to Precison contractors via the Association of Master Tradesmen coming after a long period of trying to source a quality builder and architects. I was about to give up until I meet with Sam and Jack. Our project was a new extension to create a downstairs bathroom with a dog shower and in addition extending our lounge room as part of the original 1905 house. Part of the project was then creating a large paving area alongside the back of the house, and annex. The original house also required a must needed makeover and essential maintenance including replacing the old roof and conservatory. To find a builder willing and skilled to take on a new build project and renovation work was hard (most just wanted the new build). What attracted me to Precison was their approach to client communication. They appreciated the importance of trust and workmanship and came with the experience to tackle the unknowns which always arise with old buildings. We faced lots of challenges - the main one being the roof being in worse condition than expected but with open dialogue and patience on both our sides we got through and now the project is coming to the end, we are so happy with the result.

Exceptional Spaces recently converted our loft into a gaming room/office. We are absolutely delighted with our new loft space. Gary and Jason have done an incredible job transforming our unused space into a gaming retreat. The way that they reimagined the original features with a modern aesthetic is truly impressive. From the exposed beams to the cleverly designed storage solutions, every detail has been thoughtfully considered and discussed with us, to create a space that’s both functional and beautiful. They also went out of their way to completed extra work for us that wasn’t on the original plan. We can’t recommend Exceptional Spaces enough, their professionalism and expertise are second to none.

Genti did a full renovation of our 4-bedroom house, including some layout changes, and finished everything in under three months. He was always on time, never wasted a minute, and worked really hard every single day. Genti was super helpful and even did a lot of things he didn’t have to, just to make things easier for us. He and his team made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. I highly recommend them.
