Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a home extension in Essex?
Many home extensions fall under permitted development rights, particularly single-storey rear extensions under 4m deep for detached homes (3m for semi-detached). Larger extensions require full planning permission.
How much does a home extension cost?
A single-storey rear extension typically costs between £40,000 and £80,000. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes after a free survey.
How long does a home extension take?
Most single-storey extensions take 12–16 weeks. Two-storey extensions may take 16–24 weeks depending on complexity.
Can I stay in my home during the build?
In most cases yes — we work hard to minimise disruption to your daily life throughout the build process.
