S–05Extensions & Renovations
House extensions, loft conversions and full renovations
What this service is
If your home lacks space, an extension, loft conversion or garden annex is usually the most effective way to add it — and value. We design the addition so it connects seamlessly to the existing house, obtain any planning or permitted development approvals, prepare building regulations drawings and manage the build.
We specialise in extensions, loft conversions and house renovations. For homeowners looking to redesign or gain more space, we create realistic plans and help the project run smoothly from drawing board to completion.
Adding rooms is the most direct way to add value to a property — one of our extensions also turned the space under the stairs and a former kitchen into an en-suite bedroom.

FAQ
Extensions & Renovations: your questions
Does an extension always need planning permission?
No. Our Victorian terrace extension needed no planning permission because it fell within permitted development, but it still required building regulations approval, as most extensions do. Building regulations are minimum standards for design, construction and alterations to virtually every building. We confirm which approvals apply before design work starts.
What is the best way to add value to a property?
Adding rooms is usually the most effective way. In one project we turned a two-bedroom flat into a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment by adding a bedroom and dividing one bathroom into two, increasing its value and allowing the owner to refinance.
Can I build a garden annex without planning permission?
Often, yes. Outbuildings can fall under permitted development if they meet size, height and use limits. We designed and built an annex in Northamptonshire this way, securing a lawful development certificate with existing and proposed drawings, a site plan and a location plan.
