Moving home can be expensive. Estate agents fees, solicitors fees, stamp duty and removal costs all add up.
You might be happy with where you live but just need more space. Extensions are a cost effective way of creating more space and adding value to your home.
A single storey extension can provide a larger kitchen, dining room or living room. And a two storey extension will add extra bedrooms and bathrooms.
It’s recommended to use an experienced architect for your extension. Doing so will ensure the building work is completed on time and within budget. A good architect will add the most space and value to your home for the budget you can afford
How to Get Started
Plans For Extensions can manage your extension from start to finish.
I’m happy to visit for a free discussion and consultation. After that, the plans will be drawn, along with structural calculations and all council application forms filled out.
I work with recommended builders who specialise in extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions. They finish work to a high standard and can be recommended for your extension.

Extension Costs
There are three main costs involved in building an extension.
1. The architect’s costs for drawing plans and providing structural calculations
The prices quoted by Plans for Extensions are fixed. They include the plans, structural calculations and all forms filled out for building control and planning permission approval. Prices start from £350 and depend on the size and complexity of your extension. I can give a free quote for the cost of plans for your extension.
2. Council fees
Building control is required for all extensions. The council fee is between £350 and £650 depending on the size and complexity of the extension.
Planning permission is not always needed and depends on the size and position of your extension. If planning permission is required, the fee is £150.
3. Building work costs
For a single storey extension, it is safe to estimate the cost of building work at £1000 per square metre.
For a two storey extension, estimate the building work at £1000 per square metre for the ground floor and £600 per square metre for the first floor.
Two storey extensions are around 30% more than single storey extensions.
These estimates include an interior completely finished with radiator and electrics which is plastered and ready to decorate.
