House Extension FAQs
The cost of a house extension varies depending on the size, design complexity, specification, structure, and site conditions. We can advise on feasibility and help you understand the likely scope before you commit to the next stage.
Some extensions fall under permitted development, while others require full planning permission. This depends on factors such as the size, location, design, and any restrictions affecting the property. We can advise on the most appropriate route for your project.
Timescales vary depending on the size of the extension, planning requirements, and the construction programme. The design and approvals stage usually comes first, followed by technical drawings and then build. We help keep this process organised and clear from the outset.
Most projects need existing drawings, proposed design drawings, and where required, building regulations drawings. If planning permission is needed, the application will also require the correct supporting documents and information.
A well-designed extension can often add value, particularly when it improves layout, usability, and overall appeal. The exact impact depends on the type of extension, the local market, and how well the new space integrates with the rest of the home.
No approval can ever be guaranteed, but experience makes a big difference. We provide honest advice on what is likely to be supported, shape the design around relevant constraints, and prepare clear submissions to give your application the strongest possible chance.
Our service can include initial consultation, measured surveys, existing and proposed drawings, planning application support, and building regulations drawings. We tailor the exact scope to your project and the stage you are at.
