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.

We are so happy with our downstairs extension. We have had builders, on previous work done, requiring more payment than agreed and threatening to leave the project unfinished so using ABC Constructions provided us with the piece of mind that our project would be completed at the agreed upon price. ABC builders were amazing and finished the job ahead of schedule. They were friendly and very professional. Our extension is beautiful!

James, Boyd and his team were brilliant. The work was carried out to a high standard and they were able to resolve any problems that occurred during the building work and kitchen installation. They tidied up at the end of each day making sure any equipment was not in the way. They were friendly, respectful and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were amenable and it was a pleasure to have them in the house. I would thoroughly recommend them to anybody in the future.

Our project was to raise all of the aisles in our Church to give us a level floor across the whole Church. Hajri Todaj of RTHT Construction could not have done a better job. The aisles laid with 'Victorian Quarry Tiles' over 180 years ago was not a level playing field for Hajri to start work on. However he made light of any difficulties and calmly and professionally got on with the work, following our Architects specification to the letter. As well as raising the level of the aisles Hajri inserted the air vents and inspection plates requested by our Architect, going the extra mile to make sure the air vents would be at the exact level of the carpet tiles we were having fitted after he finished the work. We were so pleased with his work that we added a subsequent job for him, where he moved and redesigned our Sound Desk at the back of the Church. This involved moving the structure and adding a extra platform - to exactly the same height for our 'Live Stream' Computer and Camera station. Again he did this perfectly and we cannot thank and praise his efforts on our behalf. To show his commitment to the finish of his work, he returned to the Church this week to re-fit the inspection plate covers as they were sitting very slightly above the level of the carpet tiles. Again he made light of the difficulties and again completed the task perfectly. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone considering carpentry work in their home or building.
