Seamless House Extensions in Earlswood
Earlswood is a small, quiet village built around its lakes rather than a town centre, and that semi-rural setting tends to shape what homeowners here want from an extension: more usable family space, better light, and a layout that makes the most of a garden backing onto open countryside, rather than maximising square footage for its own sake.
HK Builders has over 20 years of experience designing and building extensions across this part of the West Midlands and north Warwickshire border, including homes on both the Solihull and Stratford-on-Avon sides of Earlswood. Because the village sits across more than one local planning authority boundary, one of the first things we do is confirm exactly which authority your specific property falls under, so the application goes to the right place first time.
From there, we manage the whole project ourselves: design, the planning application, building regulations and construction, so you have a single team responsible for the result rather than juggling separate consultants.
Ensure a smooth, successful build
With relatively few properties coming onto the market in and around Earlswood at any one time, many homeowners decide it's simpler to extend the house they already have than to compete for a new one in the same village. An extension lets you stay close to the lakes, the local pub and the countryside you moved here for, while still getting the extra bedroom, kitchen or living space your family needs.
Rural and semi-rural plots like many of those around Earlswood often give more flexibility for a single-storey rear or side extension than a tightly packed estate would, though drainage, access and any nearby trees or hedgerows need to be checked early rather than discovered partway through a build.
We treat each Earlswood enquiry individually, visiting the property before offering any design direction, because a cottage on a lane outside the village and a more modern house closer to the station call for genuinely different approaches.
Turning your vision into reality
We begin with a site visit so we can see your Earlswood property's orientation, garden and access for ourselves, rather than designing from a satellite photo. That visit also lets us confirm which local planning authority your specific address falls under before any drawings are produced.
Our design team then draws up plans that fit the plot and the way you actually want to use the space, and we handle the planning application and building regulations submission on your behalf, keeping you updated as it progresses rather than leaving you to chase the council yourself.
Once approved, our own construction team carries out the build from groundworks through to final finishes, with a single point of contact so you're not relayed between different trades. We agree a clear programme before work starts and keep you informed if anything changes.

Yes. HK Builders Ltd carries out single and double-storey house extensions for homeowners in Earlswood, including rear, side and wrap-around extensions. As an FMB-registered builder with over 20 years' experience, we manage the project from design through to completion and offer a free, no-obligation quote.
Many single-storey rear extensions fall within permitted development rights and don't need full planning permission, provided they stay within set size and height limits — though a Lawful Development Certificate is still worth obtaining for your records. Larger extensions, side extensions, two-storey additions, and work on listed buildings or in conservation areas usually do require planning permission. Building regulations approval is needed for the structural work in either case. We can advise what applies to your Earlswood property before you commit to a design.
A single-storey extension typically takes around 3 to 4 months from groundworks to completion, while a two-storey extension or a more complex build can take 6 months or longer. Timelines depend on the size of the extension, ground conditions, weather, and how much structural and services work is involved. We'll set out a realistic programme for your Earlswood project as part of the quote.
There will be some disruption, particularly during groundworks and when connecting into the existing structure, but we plan projects to keep access, noise and mess to a minimum wherever possible and keep you updated throughout. We're happy to talk through what to expect for your specific Earlswood extension before work begins.
