House Extensions in Redditch

Extensions on Redditch housing

The typical Redditch job is a rear or side extension on a sixties or seventies semi or link-detached house: a bigger kitchen, a downstairs WC, a room that actually fits the family. The plots are generous enough to go out, and the construction is straightforward brick and block, so the work is well suited to a fixed price. What moves that price is the detail: whether the flat-roofed garage comes down or gets built over, where the drains run (they are often closer to the house than people think on these estates), and whether the original kitchen wall is load bearing.

Many rear extensions here fall within permitted development, but the limits are strict and some estates had those rights removed when they were built. We check with Redditch Borough Council before design work starts so you are not drawing something you cannot build. Building regulations apply regardless, and our quote includes the building control fees and inspections so the sign-off certificate is in your hand at the end. Because we manage every trade under one project lead, a job that uncovers something, a broken drain or a beam that needs upsizing, carries on rather than stalling between contractors.
