Service sheet 01 — Extensions

House extensions across Surrey, Kent and Sussex

Q: Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Sometimes, and sometimes not. It depends on the size, the position, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. We look at that at survey and tell you what applies before anything is priced.

We provide the following house extension services across Surrey, Kent and Sussex, within around a ten-mile radius of our Godstone office, including Caterham, Oxted, Redhill, Reigate, Warlingham and Westerham:

Rear extensions
Side-return extensions
Wraparound extensions
Single-storey extensions
Two-storey extensions

One firm across the whole build

Groundworks, brickwork, carpentry, roofing, plastering, electrics, plumbing and decorating: we manage every trade on the job, on one contract and one quote.

Examples

Extensions

Rear, side-return, wraparound and two-storey. We take it from the drawings and building control through to the finished room — groundworks, structure, roof, openings, then the inside. On an older Surrey house the surprises are underground and in the existing structure, so the survey happens before the price, not after it.
