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.

Carter Langfold spent 5 days last week correcting a mess done by another Company in an attempt to remove spray foam from loft. The team led by Manager Marcus were brilliant throughout the week.
Was very happy with the service provided. Very friendly lads and made sure I was happy with the completed job before they left. Would recommend the use of this company.
Very pleased with the professionalism & standard of work provided.
Questions
Extensions in Bromsgrove, answered straight
How deep will the foundations need to be?
On Bromsgrove clay, deeper than the textbook figure, and deeper again near trees. It is decided by a trial hole and the building inspector at the survey stage, and it is in the quote before we start.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Bromsgrove?
Many single storey rear extensions are permitted development, subject to size limits. Anything double storey, anything on a corner plot and anything in the conservation area usually needs an application. We check with Bromsgrove District Council before design starts.
Will you handle the party wall side?
We will tell you whether a party wall notice is needed, which it usually is on a semi, and what that means for the programme. It is a common surprise and it is better raised early.
