House Extensions in Alcester

Extensions on Alcester housing

The postwar and modern housing around Alcester was built with usable gardens and, on the semis and detached houses, side access, which makes the rear kitchen extension and the side extension into the gap straightforward jobs. Many single storey rear extensions fall within permitted development, subject to the size limits, and the foundations are set by a trial hole because ground in the Arrow valley varies.

Our quote includes the building control fees and inspections through Stratford-on-Avon District Council.

In the conservation area around the High Street and Henley Street, and on any listed building, an extension needs an application, matched materials and a design that sits behind the house rather than beside it. It is a longer process and we set that out at the survey. Because one project lead runs every trade, a job that uncovers old foundations, a well or an unexpected drain carries on rather than stalling, and the drive and garden can be finished by the same team afterwards.
