    House Extension FAQs

    Common questions about house extensions in Leicester

    Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Leicester?

    Many single-storey extensions fall under Permitted Development Rights and don't need planning permission. However, double-storey extensions, extensions in conservation areas, or larger extensions typically require planning permission. We handle all applications and provide expert guidance.

    How much does a house extension cost in Leicester?

    Extension costs vary significantly based on size and specification. Single-storey extensions typically cost £1,200-£2,000 per m², while double-storey extensions range from £1,800-£2,500 per m². We provide detailed quotes with no hidden costs.

    How long does a house extension take to build?

    Single-storey extensions typically take 8-12 weeks, while double-storey extensions take 12-16 weeks. This includes foundation work, construction, and finishing. Weather and complexity can affect timelines, which we'll discuss during planning.

    Will my house extension match my existing home?

    Yes, we specialise in creating extensions that seamlessly integrate with your existing property. We carefully match materials, architectural details, and proportions to ensure your extension looks like part of the original building.

    What building regulations apply to house extensions?

    All extensions must comply with building regulations covering structural safety, insulation, ventilation, and accessibility. We handle all building control applications and inspections to ensure full compliance.

    Can you help with the design of my house extension?

    Absolutely. We provide complete design services including architectural plans, structural calculations, and 3D visualisations. Our team works with you to create the perfect extension for your lifestyle and budget.

    How much value does a house extension add?

    Well-designed extensions typically add 15-20% to property value, often exceeding the construction cost. Kitchen extensions and additional bedrooms tend to provide the best return on investment in Leicester's property market.
