Home Extension Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a home extension take from start to finish?
For most home extensions in St Albans and the surrounding areas, the construction phase of a single-storey build typically takes around 10–12 weeks. The exact timeline will depend on the design and complexity of your project. Our team will advise on the estimated timescale before you begin your planning drawings, so you know what to expect from the outset. Every project is fully managed from start to finish to ensure your extension is completed as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
How much does a home extension typically cost in St Albans?
The cost of a home extension can vary widely depending on the size, design, materials and finishes you choose. Our St Albans team can advise on budget costs before you begin your planning drawings, so you know what to expect. We can provide an accurate, detailed quotation, giving you clarity and confidence before any work begins.
Do I need planning permission for a home extension in St Albans?
Not always. Some home extensions in St Albans can be completed under permitted development rights, which means planning permission isn’t required. However, every property is different, and we’ll guide you through what’s possible. As part of our service, we handle all planning applications if needed – so you don’t have to worry.
Can you help with design and planning as well as the build?
Yes, that’s exactly what we do. Our team in St Albans offers a complete design and build service, from initial concept and planning permission through to completion. We’ll take care of the details, so your home extension runs smoothly from day one.
What types of home extensions do you specialise in?
Over the last 35 years, we’ve completed home extensions for more than 2,000 properties in Hertfordshire and and the surrounding areas. These include open-plan kitchen-diners, rear extensions, double-storey builds and loft conversions. Every project is tailored to suit your needs, your home, and the way you live.
Do you work with listed buildings or properties in conservation areas?
Yes, we have experience working with listed buildings and homes in Hertfordshire’s conservation areas. These projects require extra care and planning, but we’ll work closely with you and local planning authorities to ensure everything is handled correctly. Take a look at this Grade II Listed Neo-Tudor home that we’ve recently extended.
What areas around St Albans do you cover?
While we’re based in St Albans, we also work across Hertfordshire, including Hatfield and Watford as well as further in London.
” The process was perfect
…you took the project through from design, through planning and all the way to completion, which was perfect for us given that we had very little experience of anything like this”
