The cost of building an extension is determined by a number of factors, including size, specification, and your location. You may be planning a basement conversion, a single storey extension, a downstairs toilet extension, or an extension over your garage. Whatever you have in mind, our experts will take a detailed brief in order to provide an accurate quote for the work.
In many cases, you can extend your home under Permitted Development (PD). For example, under PD you can extend a detached property by 8m to the rear, if it’s a single-storey extension, or by 3m if it’s double. Check with your local council and your extension specialist before you get too far into the planning stages, because your project may not meet all the criteria for PD.
Most insurers won’t cover any loss or damage incurred while a property is undergoing alteration or renovation. If you’re carrying out extension works and managing the project yourself, it’s worth discussing your project with an insurance provider, before any work begins. You may need to arrange a specific extension policy to cover the new works and the existing structure. It’s also worth enquiring about a 10-year structural warranty, as this can be provided on some new extension works.

I have recently worked with Mar-Jess Construction on a project involving an existing building that needed substantial work. Although construction has not yet begun, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and commitment throughout the process. From the start, Mar-Jess was instrumental in helping us navigate the complexities of an open permit that needed to be addressed before any construction could move forward. They provided clear guidance and took the time to ensure we understood each step involved. Their knowledge and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful situation much more manageable. Additionally, during their initial assessment, they discovered rot in the existing structure that required immediate attention and reconstruction. This level of thoroughness and care shows their dedication to ensuring the safety and integrity of the building. They not only identified the problem early but also provided useful recommendations and solutions to address it. One of the most valuable aspects of working with Mar-Jess has been their proactive approach to acquiring title insurance. They went above and beyond to assist in this process, making sure everything was in order and that we were well-prepared for the next steps. Overall, I’m very pleased with the professionalism, expertise, and helpfulness of the team at Mar-Jess Construction. While the construction phase hasn’t yet begun, their outstanding service so far has built my trust and confidence in them as a reliable partner for this project. I look forward to working with them as the project moves forward.
