Common Questions About House Extensions

How accurate is the online estimate?

Our calculator provides a rough guide based on average costs in Derby. For a precise quote, we'll need to visit your property to assess specific requirements and site conditions.

How long does a typical house extension take to complete?

Most single-storey extensions take 10-12 weeks from start to finish. However, this can vary depending on the size and complexity of your project. We'll provide a detailed timeline during our site visit.

Do I need planning permission for my extension?

Not all extensions require planning permission, some fall under 'Permitted Development'. We advise you get any necessary planning granted first before instructing a builder.

How disruptive will the building work be?

We minimise disruption by carefully planning each stage of construction. Most clients continue living at home during the build. We maintain a clean site and communicate clearly about any temporary disruptions.

Do you handle all aspects of the build?

You can contact us through our website's contact form or by phone. We encourage you to reach out with any inquiries. Our team is ready to assist you promptly.

How do you ensure quality standards?

We maintain high standards through:

Regular site inspections
Building control visits
Qualified tradespeople
Quality materials
Comprehensive guarantees

"Following having several quotes for the work Ben was the only builder who suggested that we could reuse the bricks to ensure the opening matched the existing brickwork. His price was fair and reasonable and was provided in writing. Ben and Ian have done a fantastic job and I am really pleased with their work. We have already discussed the next project. I would not hesitate in recommending them to friends and family."

"Ben and his team have completed a garage conversion for us, we are really pleased with it.  The work has been completed to a really high standard, Ben has a great attention to detail and it shows in the finished work.  In a time where many builders will lowball prices, Ben sets a realistic expectation and you can trust that it is genuine value for money.  Ben organised the other trades really well too."
