Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Many single-storey extensions and small works are permitted development under UK building regulations, but it depends on size, location and the local area. Listed buildings and conservation areas have stricter rules. Checking with the local planning authority is always wise before starting.

What is Building Control and do I need it?

Building Control is a local authority inspection service that ensures building work meets safety and construction standards. Most building work requires Building Control approval, including extensions, loft conversions and renovations. It protects you and ensures the work is done properly.

How long does a typical extension take?

A single-storey extension usually takes three to six months depending on size and complexity. Larger projects take longer. Weather, ground conditions and material delivery can affect timescales. The builder should give a realistic programme at the start.

What happens if the builder finds problems during work?

Discovering issues like poor existing foundations, hidden damp or structural problems is common, especially in older properties. These need fixing before work continues and may increase costs and time. The builder should discuss solutions and cost implications with you.

Should I stay in the property during building work?

It depends on the project scale and site setup. Small extensions may be manageable. Major renovations or loft conversions create mess, noise and scaffolding, making living there difficult. Discuss this with the builder—some can arrange site access to minimise disruption.

What is the difference between a surveyor and a builder?

A surveyor assesses property condition, structure and defects. A builder carries out the actual construction and repair work. For significant projects, a surveyor's report helps identify what needs doing, then a builder quotes and carries out the work.
