Questions
How much does a house extension cost in the UK?
Costs range from £1,500 to £3,000 per square metre, depending on design complexity, materials, and location. Always request detailed quotes to avoid hidden fees.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Most single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but listed buildings or conservation areas may require formal approval. Always consult your local council.
What guarantees do reputable contractors provide?
Look for at least a six-year structural guarantee, insurance-backed warranties, and building control certificates to ensure long-term compliance and peace of mind.
How long does a typical extension project take?
Small projects take 3-4 months, while double-storey extensions may require 6+ months, depending on weather, supply chains, and design complexity.
Can I live at home during the extension work?
Yes, but expect noise, dust, and temporary space restrictions. Contractors should isolate work zones and provide regular updates to minimise disruption.
How do I choose the right builder?
Check accreditations, request client references, compare detailed quotes, and prioritise clear communication and transparency in contracts and timelines.
