Customer Reviews
What Our Customers Say

How much does a home extension cost in Nottingham?
The cost of a home extension in Nottingham depends on the size, design, structure, finishes and site conditions. As a general starting point, a typical single-storey rear extension may cost around £40,000–£60,000, while larger, higher-specification or double-storey projects can cost considerably more. We provide a detailed quotation after assessing your property and proposed extension.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Nottingham?
Not always. Some house extensions may qualify as permitted development, meaning a full planning application may not be required. However, this depends on the property, size, location and proposed design. Conservation areas, listed properties, Article 4 restrictions and previous planning conditions can affect your permitted development rights. We assess the requirements for your property before work begins.
Can I build an extension under permitted development?
Potentially. Certain single-storey rear extensions can fall under permitted development rights, subject to specific limits and conditions. In Nottingham, some larger rear extensions may also use a prior notification process. Your property’s planning history, location and any restrictions need to be checked before relying on permitted development.
Do I need building regulations approval for an extension?
Yes. Planning permission and building regulations are separate requirements. Most extension work needs to comply with Building Regulations covering areas such as structural safety, insulation, ventilation, drainage and energy efficiency. We can coordinate the building regulations process and required inspections as part of your project.
How long does a house extension take to build?
Build time depends on the size and complexity of the project. A typical single-storey extension may take around 8–16 weeks on site, while larger double-storey or more complex extensions can take longer. This is separate from the time needed for design, planning permission and building regulations approval. We provide a project programme before construction starts.
What is the process for building a home extension?
The process usually starts with a consultation and site survey, followed by design and a quotation. We then establish whether planning permission or permitted development applies, prepare the required drawings and approvals, and arrange building regulations. Once everything is ready, construction begins, followed by inspections, finishing work and project completion.
What types of home extensions do you build?
We build a range of home extensions in Nottingham, including single-storey rear extensions, side extensions, wrap-around extensions, double-storey extensions and larger open-plan living extensions. We can also help with loft conversions and other projects where additional space is required.
Can I stay in my house while the extension is being built?
In many cases, homeowners can remain in the property during construction, particularly with smaller extensions. However, the level of disruption depends on the layout, access and whether the work affects your kitchen, bathroom, heating or main living areas. We can discuss the practical arrangements with you before construction begins.
Which areas do you cover for home extensions?
We work with homeowners across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, including West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Carlton, Gedling, Hucknall, Stapleford, Clifton and Mapperley. If you’re outside these areas, contact us and we’ll confirm whether we can take on your project.
