Extensions
House extensions in Stratford-upon-Avon, Solihull and across the West Midlands.
We build house extensions across Stratford-upon-Avon, Solihull and the West Midlands. Our team manages the groundworks, structure, trades and finish from start to handover.
Types of extension
Pick the footprint that suits your home.
On the first visit, we'll explain which option makes best use of your home and budget.
Double-storey rear or side
Adds a bedroom and en-suite above new living space. Usually the best value per square metre, because one set of foundations and one roof cover two floors.
- Build time
- 16-20 weeks
- Investment
- On enquiry
Wraparound / L-shaped
Combines a side-return and a rear extension into one footprint. A big change for Victorian and Edwardian terraces.
- Build time
- around 6 months

All timings are a guide. The real programme depends on the specification and the individual job. We give you a realistic timeline with your quote.
Property extensions to suit your needs
An extension can add living space, improve a poor layout or create a larger kitchen. We start with a site visit to understand what you need, check what the property allows and discuss a realistic budget.
We construct a range of different home extensions, including:
- Rear Extensions
- Side Extensions
- Single-storey Extensions
- Two-storey Extensions
- Kitchen Extensions
- Wraparound Extensions
Rear, side and wraparound extensions can all add useful space and value. The right option depends on the house, garden and budget.
If you're unsure which route to take, we'll inspect the property and give you a straight recommendation.

Planning & design
The bit most builders try to skip.
We'd rather spend an extra fortnight at drawing stage than find out at first-fix that the steel won't sit on the wall. Our process front-loads the boring decisions so site stays calm.
- 01
Permitted Development check
We confirm whether your scheme falls under PD or needs a full householder application, and what the realistic outcome is in your council.
- 02
Architect coordination
We work alongside trusted West Midlands architects (or yours), feeding back buildability and cost as the drawings evolve.
- 03
Structural engineering
Padstones, beams, raft details and lateral restraint specified in writing before bricks are ordered.
- 04
Building Regulations
Full plans submission to your local Building Control or an Approved Inspector, inspection schedule agreed upfront.
- 05
Party Wall surveying
Notices served, surveyors instructed and award in place before any line is dug closer than 3m to a boundary.

Fixed-price quote

FAQs
Extensions, asked & answered.
Everything we get asked at the first site visit.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?+
Many single-storey extensions fall under permitted development, but it depends on size, position and your property. We'll tell you honestly at the consultation whether you need a full application.
How long does a typical extension take?+
A single-storey rear extension is usually several weeks to a few months depending on size, groundworks and finish. We give a realistic programme with your quote.
Will you handle building regulations?+
Yes, we manage building-control sign-off as part of the project.
Can you match the existing brick and finish?+
Yes. We source materials to match your existing property so the extension reads as part of the original build.
