Ask The ExpertsFrequently asked questions
Should I choose a single or two-storey extension?
The right approach depends on the space you need, your existing layout, the site and your budget. We can explore both options with you, considering how each would improve your home and what may be achievable through planning.
Can you help us decide where to extend?
Yes. You do not need to come to us with a finished idea. We begin by understanding what you want to achieve, then explore where an extension could work best, considering access, daylight, garden space and the relationship with neighbouring properties.
Can we change the existing layout at the same time?
Yes. We often consider internal alterations alongside an extension so that the whole home works together. This might include opening up rooms, relocating a kitchen or improving access between existing and new spaces.
How much will an extension cost?
Costs depend on the size, design, specification and complexity of the work, as well as the existing building and site conditions. We discuss your budget early and help you understand the main cost considerations, including surveys, structural engineering and other professional input.
Can we stay in our home during the work?
This depends on the extent of the alterations and how the builder plans the work. Some projects allow you to remain at home, while others involve disruption to kitchens, bathrooms or essential services. Discussing this early helps you plan the construction stage and allow for temporary accommodation if needed.
Can you help with the interiors as well?
Yes. Our interior design service can help bring the new and existing spaces together, covering layouts, lighting, materials, finishes and fittings. We can also prepare detailed drawings and schedules to give contractors clear information during the build.
