Extension Builders Nottingham

What kind of home extension are you looking for?
it’s always a great idea to think about what you are going to use the new extension for before you start
There are so many positive reasons to build an extension 

Are you looking for any of the following?
More open-plan living space for your growing family?
Are you looking for a kitchen extension? as current one is too small
Do you need an extra family bathroom?
Does working from home appeal to you? and you would like to create a home office or study area
Would you like to extend the ground floor and build an extra bedroom?, could be for an elderly member of the family, or one of your grown up children to enjoy. 
Have you been looking for construction companies in Nottingham that you can trust?

Sometimes just creating extra space downstairs can open up your home, and make it seem like a new house!.

Rear Extension

​When you are thinking of building and adding an extension onto your home, it comes as no surprise that it will always minimise the amount of space your property will have. That’s why in most cases people choose a rear house extension, as usually, this is the area they most have available as opposed to either side of the house. If you are fortunate to have this unused spare land at the back and have no issues reducing your garden or patio area in size, then you could consider a rear extension and which in turn could create some fabulous new living space for you to enjoy. 
​Rear Extension

Side Return Extension

​This type of extension stretches the length of your home along the alleyways and side passages of your house and they are most typical of a Victorian-style house, period terrace houses or other types of semi-detached houses around that era. Side return extensions are relatively small strip-like extensions, but they can have a great impact and effect on the overall look and feel of your house. Sometimes our customers will combine a side return extension on their property together with a rear extension that will produce what we call a wrap-around extension. Depending on your budget and room available to you, a side return extension is a perfect way to extend that cramped kitchen or even add that dining area you have always wanted.
Side Return Extension

Wrap-Around Extension

The wrap-around type of extension consists of a ground floor, L-shaped extension construction which extends down the side and rear of your property. This will maximise the space available to you at the side of your house and also extending and building out to the back garden. These wrap-around extensions can produce an impressive amount of new liveable space which can really transform your property, add substantial value and change your life for the better. Wrap-around extensions are a more common addition to older period properties, where there is an unused strip of land adjacent to your house and can be utilised to widen your house within the conversion. 
Wrap-around Extension

Single Storey Extension

​A single-storey house extension could be your answer to gain more available room if you are planning to stay in your current property instead of moving home. They can add that valuable extra living you may have been looking for in your current home. A specially designed single-storey extension can certainly open up your home to all sorts of possibilities and ideas, and in the process produce a significant price increase to the property. Have a think about how you would use this extra liveable space? Example, a new kitchen diner, extend your living room, home office, children's playroom, extra ground floor bedroom for an elderly relative. Have fun deciding how a single-storey extension could improve your lifestyle.
Single-Storey Extension

Double Storey Extension

​A double-storey extension can be constructed to increase the living space of your house over two floors, basically on the ground and second-floor levels. These types of extension buildings can create the maximum space for your home environment, producing double the amount of extra room than other home extensions like the rear, side returns and wrap-around extensions. This is because the volume of new space will run through the two new floors. This will allow families much larger living spaces to maybe add that extra bedroom or bathroom extension. A two-storey extension could be a very cost-effective option if you find that your family is growing and your current house is bulging at the seams. It might seem an expensive outlay at first, but if you put it against the other option of moving house and the costs involved like estate agents, solicitors, removals, stamp duties and the whole dreaded experience, then a double-storey house extension looks a more inviting prospect. Also, you can guarantee that the venture will add value to your property. 
Double-Storey Extension  

Kitchen Extensions

​One of our most popular home extension projects that we have the pleasure of building for our customers in the Nottingham area is a kitchen extension. There are many possibilities for gaining that extra space for your kitchen, it all depends on your current type of property, size of extension that you require and your budget. Most kitchen extensions that we build for clients have been rear and side return extensions to gain the space required. These are excellent ways of opening up dull and dreary existing small kitchens into bespoke open planned areas with an island or maybe kitchen diner. The introduction of roof-lights, large windows and double doors that open out into your garden, it’s possible to create a well-planned kitchen space for the whole family to enjoy.
Kitchen Extension

Garage Conversion

A garage conversion is a practical and cost-effective way to create that extra space you may be wanting, without altering the actual footprint of your home. Whether you require a larger living room to accommodate your growing family, a kitchen diner, office space, hobby room, children's playrooms or study area. Completing a garage conversion can offer you that perfect solution for a home extension. We are experts at blending garages seamlessly into the structure of your main property, which will enhance the beauty and functionality of your home. Also, the majority of garages have the advantage of mostly not needing planning permission as they come under the "permitted developments" but still need to comply with the building regulations in the Nottingham area. We can advise and guide you through the process as we have done for many clients beforehand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I always require planning permission?

A: It’s not always a requirement to get planning permission, tell us about your ideas and plans and we will advise you on a way forward.
It's a common misconception that all house extensions and conversions require planning permission. Not all do. Under the Permitted Development Rights, homeowners in the UK are often allowed to make moderate changes to their property without needing to apply for planning permission. However, these rights have limitations and conditions, and it's essential to check with your local authority or a planning professional before proceeding with any construction work. If you live in a designated area, such as a Conservation Area or a World Heritage Site, you will likely need to apply for permission. Always consult a professional to avoid potential legal issues.
If your extension doesn't qualify under the Permitted Development Rights, you will need to apply for planning permission. The process can be lengthy and complex, but with the help of an experienced architect or planning consultant, it can be managed efficiently. It's crucial to understand that planning permission is not a guarantee. The local authority may reject your proposal if it does not comply with their policies and guidelines. In such cases, it's essential to work with your architect or planning consultant to make necessary adjustments and resubmit the application.

Q: Upon requesting a consultation about extending our home do both partners need to be present?

A: It's not mandatory for both partners to be present during the initial consultation for a house extension, but it can be beneficial. Having all decision-makers present allows for immediate answers to any questions, helps ensure everyone is on the same page regarding the project's scope and expectations, and can lead to more efficient decision-making. Also it saves time for us to explain the whole process in one meeting, rather than making multiple visits, which wastes valuable time for both parties. If it's not possible for both partners to attend, one person can attend and relay the information back to the other partner. However, it's crucial that any major decisions about the project are agreed upon by all involved parties.

Q: How long would it take to build a typical house extension?

A: To be fair, there are no straightforward answers to this question, it is dependent on the overall size of the house extension, whether or not it’s a one or two storey building project, and taking into account if planning permission is needed, the actual design and structural elements to take into consideration. Our experience and knowledge will ensure that every building project goes according to plan and we complete the construction work in a timely and efficient manner without any unnecessary delays. On the other hand, the duration of a typical house extension project can greatly vary depending on multiple factors. Generally, house extensions can take anywhere from 10 to 12 weeks for a single-story extension, and up to 20 weeks for a two-story extension. However, this timeline assumes ideal conditions and doesn't factor in potential delays due to weather, customisations, unexpected construction challenges, or legal complications. It's also important to remember that the timeline prior to construction, which includes planning, designing, and receiving necessary permissions, can also add several weeks to the overall project timeframe. Therefore, it's crucial to have a flexible schedule and to be prepared for any unforeseen delays when planning a house extension.

Q: We have no idea where to start planning our house extension, can you help us?

A: Yes, our team of experts have multiple years of experience when it comes to helping customers with planning a house extension or conversion in and around the Nottingham area, and can assist with the entire process from start to completion, or get involved at any stage you wish.. After all Nottingham House Extensions have been building homes and carrying out home improvements for clients over 20 years now.​

Planning a house extension can seem daunting initially, but with the right approach, you can manage the project smoothly.

• Research and Inspiration: Start by researching and gathering inspiration. Look at house extensions or conversions that you admire and consider how similar concepts could work with your property. Pinterest and home design websites are great places to start.
• Hire Professionals: Next, consider hiring professionals such as architects or planning consultants. They have the expertise to guide you through the process, from design to planning permissions. They can help you avoid common pitfalls and ensure that your design is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
• Understand the Legal Requirements: As highlighted in the previous sections, it's vital to understand the legal requirements around house extensions. This includes understanding whether your extension falls under Permitted Development Rights or if you will need to apply for planning permission.
• Budgeting: Lastly, but most importantly, plan your budget. Remember, apart from construction costs, there can be additional expenses like architect fees, planning application fees, and potential unforeseen costs. Ensure you have a detailed budget in place before starting the project to avoid unexpected surprises.

Remember that planning and preparation are key to a successful house extension. Take the time to carefully plan your project, consider all aspects, and seek professional advice when necessary.

Q: What other services do you offer as well as building house extensions?

A: Our professional building services are not just limited to building house extensions and property conversions, we can carry out any home improvements you may have in mind, such as, new roofs, property renovations, rubber roofs, or new builds from a proposed plan, anything to do with construction, then Nottingham House Extensions are the professionals to call. We also provide architectural design services, planning and building regulation applications, structural engineering, and project management. The aim is to provide a one-stop solution for all your home improvement requirements, saving you the time and hassle of dealing with multiple contractors. We take pride in delivering high quality, tailored solutions that meet your specific needs and budget.

Q: How much does house extensions cost

A: The cost of a New house extension can vary depending on multiple  factors and the end result of what you would like to achieve.

• The ultimate size of the extension 
• How in depth and complex the building work will be,
• What area your property is actually situated 
• The quality of materials and finish that you require

As with any new house extension construction, the overall size, location and quality of the build are going to be the most important cost factors to take into consideration. Also many people ask the question, is it cheaper to extend up or out? and the same applies, it all down to the scope and complexity the building work.
​
The price per square metre will always be higher for a single-storey type extension, as you have to take into account that you will always need to cost-in for the foundations and a roof but you have less floor space than a double-storey extension. So at the end of the day there are a lot of variables to work out before a price for a house extension can be worked out.

Functionality and Fixtures and Fittings
Depending on your requirements for how you are going to eventually use your new extension will affect the total price, such as if you are extending your property to fit a new kitchen the more work will be involved in the installation of extra plumbing, electrical and joinery services, not to mention the cost of the overall kitchen furniture and fittings. If you were extending your home living area, for example, lounge or dining area, then this would be less labour intensive and cheaper on material costs.

What you decide to spend on internal furniture and fixtures can have a massive overall effect on your final budget. If you high-end designer furniture, fixtures and fittings or a hand-built bespoke kitchen then make sure to cost these into your budget. You could always settle for, cut costs, by selecting a cheaper high-street version and swap out at a later date. It’s all down to personal taste, how much you have to spend and what kind of finish you require and will be happy with.
​
As you can imagine there are so many variables involved, this is why we offer a FREE initial consultation and Free Quotation. Here we can discuss the kind of extension that you ultimately want to achieve. We are good at listening to our clients ideas and turning them into their dream reality.

Q: Are House Extensions Worth It?

A: In most cases, yes. However, this is not always guaranteed but a quality house extension can add up to 23% to the overall value of your property. This is based on nationwide research, where it was found an additional bathroom could add 6%, an additional double bedroom 12%, and a house extension where you create a double bedroom and an en-suite would add an additional 23% to the value of your home If you are thinking about adding a house extension, you need to think about what will add the most value.

There are many different types of extensions that can be added to your home. Some people like to extend their kitchen or bathroom, while others might want an extra bedroom or two or just more living room space. It really depends on what is important for your family and how much money you have available in order to invest in this building project Ultimately, you need to weigh up all the positives and negatives and go with what's right for you. The benefits of a house extension are endless and can make your house really stand out on the street.

With an extension, you could create that perfect space just for yourself without any renovations needed in other parts of the home. When considering a new house extension and what design features to add, it is important to consider how they will appeal to and match the tastes of your potential buyers. A good rule-of-thumb when designing an extension on a home with a similar architectural style as its existing house is that you should connect well with the original structure while also ensuring interior flow for future residents. However, if one has no idea where or how their extra space can be used then consulting with professionals such as architects may be necessary so all aspects are accounted for in advance. 

Q: Do you need planning permission to turn a garage into a room?

A: Do i need planning permission is the most common question we get asked. Under most circumstances garage conversion planning permission is not required to convert your garage into additional liveable space for your home requirements, just as long as the work is kept internal and does not involve the enlargement of the building's structure. However, any permitted development rights may have been removed by conditions set by a developer, housing estate or local authorities, which could prevent and restrict homeowners from altering, adding or making any structural changes to their properties. I would always advise on checking exactly where you stand before you start to think about your new garage conversion project, to avoid disappointment later on down the line. ​
