The duration of a house extension project varies depending on its size and complexity. On average:

• A single integral house extension takes about 2-3 months.

These timelines can change based on your specific requirements and any additional features you choose to include.

In most cases, a house extension will be classified as permitted development, meaning you won't need planning permission.

3. Site Cleanliness: We guarantee to keep the mess on-site to a minimum and leave the area in the same condition as when we first arrived.

4. Respect for Your Home: We understand that your home is your sanctuary so we strive to cause as little disruption as possible throughout the entire construction process.

By taking these measures, we ensure that your experience with us is as stress-free and comfortable as possible.
