House Extensions in Droitwich

Extensions on Droitwich housing

The estates around Droitwich, Westlands, Copcut and the newer developments, were built with gardens worth extending into, and the rear kitchen extension is the most common request here, with side extensions and the occasional double storey on the larger plots. What sets Droitwich apart is the ground: clay that moves with the seasons, made ground in places, and a high water table near the river and the canal.

Foundation depth and type are set by a trial hole and the building inspector, sometimes with a raft or piled solution where a strip footing would not be safe, and that is decided and priced before the dig, not during it.

Nearer the Victorian centre, the conservation area means an extension needs an application, matched materials and a design that sits behind the house. Wychavon District Council handles both planning and building control at present, and our quote includes the fees and inspections. Because one project lead runs every trade, a job that turns up old brine workings, a drain or a change of ground carries on rather than stalling, and the drive can be finished by the same team once the build is done.
