House extension FAQs, Solihull & the West Midlands

Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Many single storey extensions fall under permitted development and do not need a full planning application, provided they stay within set size and height limits. Larger or double storey extensions often do. We confirm what is needed before starting.
How long does a house extension take?
A typical single storey extension takes around eight to twelve weeks on site. Larger or double storey projects can take several months. We give you a clear programme before we begin.
Will an extension add value to my home?
In most cases yes. A well built extension that adds usable space, such as a larger kitchen or an extra bedroom, is one of the most reliable ways to increase a property value.
