Cheddington is a village near Ivinghoe with a station on the West Coast Main Line. The 1963 Great Train Robbery took place on the railway nearby. Homes in Cheddington include older cottages and modern houses, including homes built on the former airfield.
Older cottages need a gentle approach: solid walls, low ceilings and lime mortars all affect how an extension is designed and built. On newer estates, permitted development rights are sometimes removed by a planning condition, so we check before designing an extension or garage conversion.
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions in Cheddington can go ahead under permitted development, but the limits are strict and some homes have lost those rights.
Planning applications in Cheddington are decided by Buckinghamshire Council.
Whatever the planning position, extensions and loft and garage conversions need Building Regulations approval, which covers structure, fire safety, insulation and ventilation. Our guide to planning permission for house extensions explains the limits, and the Planning Portal guide to extensions has interactive examples.
Every project starts with a free visit and a written quote; see how an extension project with us works, step by step.
Choosing builders in Cheddington is a big decision, so here is what you get with us:
“Once the team have finished you would never know they have been there with all rubbish removed and everything left clean and tidy.”
Yes. Cheddington is about 11 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Pitstone and Slapton.
Yes, with care. Older cottages often have solid walls, shallow foundations and lime mortar, so the design needs to tie old and new together properly. If the cottage is listed, listed building consent is needed for most changes.
Often, but check first. Many newer estates have planning conditions that remove permitted development rights or keep garages for parking, so an application may be needed. We check the planning history before design work starts.
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions are allowed under permitted development, within limits such as 3 metres deep for an attached house (4 metres for a detached one) and 4 metres high. Applications in Cheddington are decided by Buckinghamshire Council. A Lawful Development Certificate gives written confirmation if you're unsure.
Every extension is priced individually, so we give a free, itemised written quote after visiting your home. The main things that move the price are size, the number of storeys, foundations and ground conditions, structural steelwork, glazing, and the kitchen or bathroom fittings you choose.
Councils aim to decide householder planning applications within 8 weeks, and Building Regulations approval can run alongside. Build time depends on size and specification, so we set out a written programme with your quote.
Yes. Our team covers carpentry, bricklaying, roofing, plastering, painting and decorating, and kitchen fitting, and we manage the project from design to completion, so you deal with one firm rather than several contractors.
As well as Cheddington, we cover nearby areas such as builders in Pitstone, builders in Slapton, builders in Ivinghoe and builders in Marsworth. See every place on our areas we cover page.
