Extensions and Conversions in Hemel Hempstead

What types of extensions and conversions do we build?

We build single and double-storey extensions and convert lofts and garages for homeowners in Hemel Hempstead and across Hertfordshire. We're a professional carpentry and construction business, and our team is skilled in a wide range of design, construction and conversion techniques.

• Single-storey rear extensions for kitchen-diners and family rooms
• Side-return and wraparound extensions
• Double-storey extensions
• Loft conversions: rear dormer, hip-to-gable and rooflight
• Garage conversions
• Conservatories

Homeowners often extend because their home no longer has the space they need, and using outdoor space is an ideal way to create a new living area. We bring those ideas to reality, designing and building living spaces that suit the household.

Do you need planning permission for an extension in Hemel Hempstead?

Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development, within limits such as 3 metres deep for an attached house and 4 metres for a detached house. Applications in Hemel Hempstead go to Dacorum Borough Council, and conservation areas such as the Old Town and Boxmoor have tighter rules.

Building Regulations approval is needed for almost every extension and conversion. Our guide to planning permission for a house extension sets out the limits in detail.

Is a loft or garage conversion right for your home?

Conversions are a great way to turn under-used lofts and garages into stylish, practical living space. We believe lofts and garages have much more potential than storage, and we help homeowners across the area redesign and convert them into well-used rooms.

A loft conversion is often permitted development within a 40 or 50 cubic metre allowance; see our loft conversion guide. A garage conversion usually needs Building Regulations approval but not planning permission, unless a condition on your estate says otherwise; see our garage conversion guide.

How does an extension project with us work?

1. Free visit and advice – we look at your home, talk through what you want and point out anything that affects the design or cost.
2. Written quote – you receive a clear, itemised quote and an outline programme of works.
3. Drawings and approvals – we work with your architect or designer and structural engineer so planning and Building Regulations approval are in place before work starts.
4. The build – one team handles every trade, keeps the site tidy and keeps you updated as the work progresses.
5. Finishing and handover – we finish, snag and clean up, and building control signs off the work.
