Extensions on Solihull housing
Interwar and postwar Solihull houses sit on plots that leave room to go out and up, so the jobs here are often larger than elsewhere: double storey side extensions that add a bedroom and a bathroom, wrap-arounds that rebuild the whole rear of the house, and open-plan kitchen extensions with large-format glazing onto the garden. The brief is usually as much about the glazing, the roof design and the junction with the existing house as it is about square metres, and we detail it to match. A good extension in Solihull looks like it was always there.
Knowle, Dorridge and other conservation areas add a layer: Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council will look closely at materials and at how the extension reads from the street, and it is worth confirming status before design money is spent. Everywhere in the borough, building regulations apply and our quote includes the fees and inspections. Because one project lead manages every trade, from the steel and the roof to the plastering and the kitchen fit, you deal with one company and one number, and the drive and garden can be brought up to the same standard afterwards by the same team.

Planning and building control
Planning and building control here go through Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, and conservation area status changes what is permitted, so it is worth checking before design work starts.

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 Solihull, answered straight
How disruptive is a wrap-around extension?
Very, and we will say so at the survey rather than after you sign. You lose the kitchen for a period, and the rear of the house is open to the weather in stages. We programme the work to keep the house secure and to give you a working kitchen as early as possible.
Do I need planning permission in Solihull?
For anything double storey or in a conservation area, almost certainly. Some single storey rear extensions are permitted development within strict limits. We check with Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council before design work starts.
Can you match the existing brick?
On interwar Solihull housing the original brick is often still available or closely matched, and where it is not we will show you options before ordering. It is the detail people notice most from the street.
