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.

Great service from start to finish. George responded quickly and called out for a quote, which was very competitive. He took my rough vision of what I wanted in my sloping new build garden and made it a reality with levelling, retaining sleepers, steps and paving. George and his team were happy to work away while I was at work, and also worked through bad weather to get the job finished. Everything was left clean and tidy, would definitely recommend!

Dave and his work helper Cody were fantastic making the rotten fascia and soffit and roof repair works + new uPVC materials over two days back in August. It was a great service!

If I could give more 5/5 stars I would. Gaz and his team are tremendous. They carried out a massive project on our house. It was a long project but they completed it within the timeframe. Gaz is completely trustworthy, transparent, he is really knowledgable, super hard working, really skilled, went over and beyond, we lived on-site during the renovation and he was amazing with my young family, arrived bright and early, always completed a full days work, incredibly respectful and left our home clean when he left for the day. Our house is now looking so much better than originally planned all within our budget.. just. I’ve already recommended Gaz and his team to our friends and family. I could not recommend him more highly. Gaz always came up with solutions, completely professional and had a strong desire the satisfy us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Gaz. From myself, my wife and 3 young daughters for delivering the house of our dreams. Thank you!
