FAQs about home extension
What types of home extensions can I request?
You can request single- or double-storey extensions, rear or side return builds, kitchen extensions, garage conversions, and more.
Do I need planning permission?
Some extensions fall under permitted development, but others require approval. Your builder can advise and help with the process.
Can I request a full design-and-build service?
Yes. Many tradespeople offer full services, from design to construction, including managing planning applications if needed.
How long does a home extension take?
Timeframes vary based on the project, but most single-storey extensions take 8–12 weeks.
Will the builder handle all trades (plumbing, electrics, etc.)?
Yes. Most extension specialists coordinate the full team including electricians, plumbers, and plasterers.
Can I stay in the home during the extension work?
In most cases, yes, though there may be some disruption. Your builder will help you plan ahead to minimise the impact.
