Question 1

Do I need planning permission for a home extension in Kent?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size and type of extension. Many single-story extensions fall under permitted development rights and don't require planning permission. However, we always recommend checking with your local planning authority. We can assist you with planning permission applications and ensure your extension complies with all building regulations.

Question 2

How long does a home extension take to complete?

Accepted Answer

The timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of the extension. A single-story extension typically takes 8-12 weeks, while a double-story extension can take 12-16 weeks. Loft conversions usually take 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed project timelines during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the build.

Question 3

How much does a home extension cost in Kent?

Accepted Answer

Extension costs vary widely based on size, specification, and materials. As a rough guide, single-story extensions start from £1,500-£2,500 per square metre, while double-story extensions range from £1,800-£3,000 per square metre. We provide detailed, transparent quotes with no hidden costs.

Question 4

Can I live in my home during the extension work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases you can continue living in your home during the extension work. We take measures to minimize disruption, maintain security, and ensure safety. We'll discuss the best approach for your specific project during the planning phase.

Question 5

Will a home extension add value to my property?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a well-designed and professionally built extension typically adds significant value to your property. On average, extensions can add 15-20% to your property value, often exceeding the cost of the build. The exact value increase depends on your location, property type, and quality of the work.
