Knowing the homes of Little Stanmore

Little Stanmore covers the area around Canons Park and Whitchurch Lane, where St Lawrence Whitchurch is linked with the composer Handel. Homes in Little Stanmore include 1930s semis and detached houses.

1930s semi-detached houses are classic candidates for hip-to-gable loft conversions and wraparound rear extensions.

Do you need planning permission for building work in Little Stanmore?

Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions in Little Stanmore can go ahead under permitted development, but the limits are strict and some homes have lost those rights.

Planning applications in Little Stanmore are decided by Harrow 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.

Builders in Little Stanmore: frequently asked questions

Do you cover Little Stanmore?

Yes. Little Stanmore is about 12 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Stone Grove and Stanmore.

Can I add a hip-to-gable loft conversion to a 1930s semi in Little Stanmore?

Usually, yes. Hip-to-gable and rear dormer conversions are common on 1930s semis and are often permitted development within the 50 cubic metre allowance, unless the house is in a conservation area. Building Regulations approval is always needed.

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Little Stanmore?

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 Little Stanmore are decided by Harrow Council. A Lawful Development Certificate gives written confirmation if you're unsure.

How much does a house extension cost in Little Stanmore?

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.

How long does it take to get an extension approved and built?

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.

Do your builders in Little Stanmore handle all the trades?

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 Little Stanmore, we cover nearby areas such as builders in Stone Grove, builders in Stanmore, builders in Elstree and builders in Harrow Weald. See every place on our areas we cover page.
