Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.
How do I know if my building work needs planning permission?
Many extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development but require building regulation approval. Renovations usually need building control. The local council or a surveyor can advise on specific requirements. Some work always needs planning permission.
What is building regulation approval and why is it needed?
Building regulation approval ensures work meets safety, structural and environmental standards set by law. An inspector checks the work at key stages. The council issues a completion certificate when finished, which is needed when selling the property.
What happens if I build an extension without building regulation approval?
The property becomes difficult to sell, insurance may be invalid, and the council can issue enforcement action. A retrospective approval application may be possible but is costly and time-consuming. Approval should always be obtained before work starts.
How long does a typical house extension take?
A single-storey extension usually takes 3–4 months from foundations to completion. Two-storey extensions take 4–6 months. Weather, complexity, site access and labour availability all affect timescales. Planning and building regulation approval add 8–12 weeks before work starts.
Do I need a structural engineer for renovation work?
Yes, if walls are being removed, new openings created, or the property shows structural damage. The builder can advise but calculations and sign-off from a structural engineer are usually required by building control. This protects the safety of the building.
What is the difference between a loft conversion and a loft extension?
A loft conversion uses existing roof space, reinforcing the structure without changing the roof line. A loft extension involves raising or extending the roof, creating more usable space but requiring planning permission and costing significantly more.
