Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a house extension take in Hertfordshire?
A single-storey extension typically takes 12 to 16 weeks from groundwork to handover. A double-storey extension takes 16 to 24 weeks. Larger wrap-arounds and heavily reconfigured layouts run longer. We give you a realistic week-by-week timeline as part of your detailed quote.
How much does a house extension cost in Hertfordshire or North London?
As a broad guide for our region, single-storey extensions typically start around £2,500 to £3,500 per square metre. Double-storey extensions sit at £2,200 to £3,000 per square metre. Higher-end finishes with premium glazing, bespoke joinery and structural openings sit at the top of that range.
Do I need planning permission for my extension?
Many extensions fall under permitted development, but larger extensions, corner plots and conservation areas usually require full planning permission. We work daily with planning departments across Hertsmere, St Albans, Three Rivers and Barnet, and can manage the full application on your behalf.
Can I stay in my home during the build?
For most extensions, yes. We work in phases to keep the existing parts of your home liveable, and we agree access, parking and dust protection measures with you at the start.
Do you handle party-wall agreements?
Yes. Party-wall notices and agreements are a standard part of most extensions on terraced or semi-detached homes, and we manage the process on your behalf.
What areas do you cover for extensions?
Radlett, Elstree, Borehamwood, Bushey, Potters Bar, St Albans, Barnet, Mill Hill, Hampstead, Highgate, Finchley and the surrounding areas of Hertfordshire and North London.
