Do I need planning permission in London?
Many extensions fall under ‘Permitted Development’ rights, but larger additions or flats in conservation areas (like parts of Ilford) will require full planning permission. We handle this for you.
How long does a home addition take?
A typical single-story rear extension takes 10-14 weeks depending on size and weather conditions.
Can I live in the house during construction?
Yes, usually. We seal off the construction area to minimize dust and disruption to your daily life.
Maintaining Your Extension
Gutter Clearance
London has high rainfall. Keep gutters clear to prevent water ingress.
Flat Roof Checks
Inspect felt or GRP flat roofs annually for cracks or bubbles.
Seasonal Construction Advice
Spring and Summer are the busiest times for builders in London. We recommend booking your consultation in Autumn or Winter to ensure your project slot is secured for the best weather windows.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not checking if your property has had Permitted Development rights removed.
- Choosing the cheapest quote rather than the most detailed one.
- Forgetting to inform neighbours (Party Wall Agreement) before starting work.
Our Peace of Mind Guarantee
We stand by our work. All structural work comes with a 10-year warranty, ensuring your home addition remains safe and secure for years to come.
