Extensions
Single and double-storey extensions, kitchen-diners and wraparounds. Across Worksop and the villages around it.
Most of the extensions we build are single-storey rear extensions that turn a cramped kitchen and dining room into one bright space that opens onto the garden. We also build side returns, wraparounds and two-storey extensions where there's room and planning allows.
What's included
- Free survey visit and a fixed written quote
- Help with drawings, planning or permitted development, and Building Regulations sign-off
- Party wall notices organised where needed

- First fix and second fix electrics and plumbing by our regular trades
- Plastering, flooring prep and a clean handover
Typical timescales
10 to 16 weeks on site for a typical single-storey rear extension, plus 8 to 12 weeks for drawings and approvals beforehand.

Questions we get asked
Do I need planning permission for a single-storey extension?
Often not. Many rear extensions fall under permitted development, which has size limits depending on whether your house is detached, semi-detached or terraced. Conservation areas and some newer estates have tighter rules. We'll check on the first visit and tell you which route applies.
Can we stay in the house while you build?
Usually, yes. We build the new structure first and only knock through into the existing house near the end, so most families keep a working kitchen for all but a week or two.
Who handles Building Regulations?
We do. We arrange the inspections with building control at each stage and hand over the completion certificate at sign-off.
How is the price fixed?
After the survey we give a written quote broken down by stage. The price only changes if you ask for something different or we find something nobody could have seen, like an old well or a collapsed drain, and we agree any change in writing before doing it.
Planning extensions?
Send us a few details and photos. We'll call within one working day to book a free visit, then send a fixed written quote within a week of it.
