By this you can be better prepared on your budget for the project. Even little things like the extension of the rear wall of a detached home are taken care of. As per the rule, the wall of a single storey can be extended by 8m to the rear if it is a single storey property, and 3m if it is double storey.
Also, each home extension’ height restrictions are adhered with. For example, a single storey extension cannot be higher than 4m to the ridge and the eaves. In the case of double storey extensions it may be closer to 7m to the rear boundary. Planning permission is required if the extension covers more than half of the land around the original house. We ensure that all the home extensions are built of same materials as the original house.
Significantly, we ensure that all the building regulation certifications are met totally. All our home extension works are carried out by certified and registered professionals only. In some instances, we will liaise with the local Building Control Officers for certification. We will guide you on certain mandatory things that need to be addressed before a home extension project starts.
- Home Insurance Cover: The home extension may increase the rebuild cost of your house. When pricing premiums, your insurers take this into consideration.
- Leaseholders: If you are a lease holder, your right to make alterations is subject to approval from the freeholder.
- Neighbors: We will liaise between you and your neighbors. Your neighbors will be informed about the home extension plans. This helps to avoid disputes between neighbors.
- Party Wall Agreement: This agreement between neighbors makes it easy for loft conversions and extensions. While setting up a loft or conversion steel supports are inserted for damp proof course and/or digging of new foundations.
