Questions
Home Extensions in Canterbury — FAQs
Can't find what you're looking for? Call us on the number above — we're happy to help.
Ask a questionDo I need planning permission for an extension?
Many extensions fall under permitted development, but it depends on the size and your property. We will advise on whether permission is needed and can help with the process.
How long does an extension take?
Extensions vary widely, but most single-storey projects take a number of months. We give you a project schedule with key milestones before work begins.
Will you handle building control sign-off?
Yes. We build to current building regulations and coordinate the necessary inspections through to sign-off.
How much will an extension cost?
Cost depends on size, the ground conditions, the spec of the finish and whether it includes a kitchen or bathroom. After a visit we give you a detailed, itemised quote so you can see what is driving the figure and where you could trim or upgrade.
Do I need an architect and drawings first?
For most extensions you will need drawings and structural calculations. We can work to plans you already have, or point you to the right people and coordinate it for you so it is one less thing to juggle.
Can we stay living in the house during the build?
In most cases yes, as an extension is built onto the existing house and only opened up near the end. There will be noisier, dustier stretches, which we will warn you about so you can plan around them.
