Tring is a Chilterns market town with the Natural History Museum at Tring and the Tring Reservoirs nearby. Homes in Tring include Victorian terraces, estate houses built in the Rothschild era and newer homes.
Victorian and Edwardian homes often suit side-return extensions and rear-dormer loft conversions, and their solid walls need careful detailing where old meets new. 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 Tring can go ahead under permitted development, but the limits are strict and some homes have lost those rights.
Planning applications in Tring are decided by Dacorum Borough Council. Parts of Tring are within a conservation area, where some permitted development rights are reduced and extra care over materials is expected. Parts of the area around Tring fall within the Chilterns National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). On that land, side extensions, rear extensions of more than one storey and roof extensions such as dormers need planning permission.
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.

Choosing builders in Tring is a big decision, so here is what you get with us:
“They kept on time and on budget. It was a downstairs kitchen bathroom extension so obviously disruptive but made it as easy as possible.”
Yes. Tring is about 9 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Wigginton and Buckland.
Yes. Side-return extensions are a popular way to widen the kitchen of a Victorian or Edwardian terrace. Some fall under permitted development, but wraparound designs and homes in conservation areas usually need planning permission, and work near the shared wall usually needs a party wall notice.
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.
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. Parts of Tring are within a conservation area, where some permitted development rights are reduced and extra care over materials is expected. Applications in Tring are decided by Dacorum Borough 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 Tring, we cover nearby areas such as builders in Wigginton, builders in Buckland, builders in Marsworth and builders in Cholesbury. See every place on our areas we cover page.
