private extensions

although not quite the largest projects we get involved in, they are the biggest that you as the house owner will probably face from a planning perspective. we're here to take away as much stress and strain as we possibly can, we have overseen the design and submission of every type of extension design you may care to think of and maybe some you won't......more details can be found in our gallery .

we will get involved to such a degree as you wish and will guide you through the planning and design process from start to finish. we act as the agent when submitting planning applications, what this means is all the complicated items are taken out of your hands and dealt with by us. the planning process for an extension is usually an eight week timescale from submission of drawing to hopeful approval (we cannot guarantee approval but wish we could!). drawings are usually prepared within two weeks after a site survey so the whole process can be handed to a contractor on site within 3 months from your first conversation with us.

we always endeavour to offer the most reasonable and cost effective price and believe we offer the best value for money out there combined with expertise and approachability. we can also advise you of good quality contractors in your area who will also make the procedure as hassle free as possible.
