House Extensions in Bromsgrove

Extensions on Bromsgrove housing

The postwar and modern housing that surrounds the town was built with decent gardens and side access, which makes it well suited to extending. The most common request is a single storey rear extension to open up the kitchen, followed by a side extension into the gap beside the house, and on the larger plots a double storey wrap-around.

On the older Victorian and Edwardian houses nearer the centre the work is more careful: solid walls, original timbers, and a planning authority that will want any extension to sit sympathetically with the street.

Foundations are the local variable. On clay ground, and particularly anywhere near mature trees, the foundation depth is decided by the soil and the roots, not by a standard detail, and that is settled at the survey rather than discovered on the first morning of the dig. Bromsgrove District Council handles both planning and building control, and our quote includes the building control fees and inspections so the completion certificate is yours at handover.

One project lead runs every trade, so the job does not stop while you chase the next contractor.
