Why Extend Your Home in London?
With London property prices soaring, moving house is often more expensive than improving. A home addition provides the extra space you need while increasing your property’s market value. It allows you to stay in your preferred neighbourhood—whether that’s Romford, Stratford, or Gants Hill—while adapting your home to your changing lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission in London?
Many extensions fall under ‘Permitted Development’, but larger additions or homes in conservation areas (common in Redbridge) will require full planning permission. We handle this for you.
How long does a home addition take?
A typical rear extension takes 10-14 weeks depending on complexity. We provide a detailed schedule before starting.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, all our structural work is guaranteed, giving you peace of mind.
Maintaining Your New Addition
To ensure longevity in the UK climate:
- Check flat roof drains regularly for leaves, especially in autumn.
- Inspect silicone seals around windows and doors annually.
- Ensure brick vents remain unblocked to allow airflow and prevent damp.
Best Time to Build
Spring and Summer are ideal for groundworks and bricklaying to avoid delays from rain. However, planning your project in Winter ensures you are ready to break ground as soon as the weather improves.
Avoid These Mistakes
- Ignoring the Party Wall Act (crucial for terraced homes in London).
- Underestimating the finish costs (flooring, kitchens, painting).
- Choosing a builder without a detailed contract.
Our Guarantee
We stand by our craftsmanship. Dream House Renovation offers a comprehensive structural warranty on all home additions, ensuring your investment is protected for years to come.
