FAQs

  • How much does a house extension cost in Nottingham?

    The cost of a house extension depends on factors such as size, design, materials, and complexity. As a general guide, single storey extensions typically start from around £1,500 to £2,500 per square metre.


    We provide detailed, transparent quotes based on your specific requirements, so you have a clear understanding of costs from the outset.

  • Do I need planning permission for a house extension?

    Some extensions fall under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may not be required. However, this depends on the size and type of extension, as well as your property.


    We can advise you on the requirements and help guide you through the process to ensure everything is handled correctly.

  • How long does a house extension take to complete?

    Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A typical single storey extension may take between 8 and 12 weeks, while larger extensions may take longer.


    We provide a clear schedule at the start and keep you updated throughout the build.

  • Will an extension add value to my home?

    A well-designed extension can significantly increase the value of your property, particularly in sought-after areas of Nottingham.


    Many homeowners choose to extend rather than move, as it allows them to improve their home while avoiding the costs and disruption of relocating.

  • Can you help with design and planning?

    Yes. We can work alongside architects or assist with the design and planning stages of your project. Whether you already have plans or are starting from scratch, we will guide you through the process.
