"Build Skills transformed our cramped Victorian terrace. The rear extension is absolutely stunning — we've essentially gained a whole new room. Professional, tidy, and two weeks ahead of schedule."

"We got 4 quotes. Build Skills were not the cheapest but they were clearly the most professional. The kitchen remodel and rear extension together look incredible. Worth every penny."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?+
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning no planning permission is required. Double-storey, side extensions and anything over permitted limits will need a full planning application. We assess this during your free site survey and handle the entire submission on your behalf.
How long does a house extension take to build?+
A single-storey rear extension typically takes 10–14 weeks from groundworks to completion. Double-storey extensions are usually 16–22 weeks. This excludes the planning and design phase, which can add 8–12 weeks depending on whether planning permission is required.
How much does a house extension cost in Kent, London, Epping, Watford, Slough & Woking.?+
In London, single-storey rear extensions typically start from £28,000–£35,000 for a modest 3–4m extension. Larger or double-storey extensions range from £65,000–£120,000+. Costs vary based on size, specification and your location. We provide a full fixed-price quote after your free site survey.
Do you handle planning permission and building control?+
Yes — we manage the entire process. This includes architectural drawings, planning applications, party wall notices, building regulations submissions and building control sign-off. You don't need to deal with the council directly at any point.
What is a Party Wall Agreement and do I need one?+
If your extension is within 3–6 metres of a neighbouring property's foundations, or built on or near a boundary wall, you'll need to serve a Party Wall Notice on your neighbours. We handle this process and can recommend a qualified party wall surveyor if formal agreements are needed.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?+
Most loft conversions in London fall under Permitted Development and do not require planning permission, as long as they meet certain conditions on size and materials. Mansard conversions and properties in conservation areas typically need planning permission. We'll confirm this at your free survey.
How much does a loft conversion add to property value?+
In London, a loft conversion typically adds 15–25% to a property's value. Adding a bedroom and bathroom to a 3-bed semi can increase its value by £80,000–£150,000+ depending on the area. It's consistently one of the highest-ROI home improvements available.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?+
A standard kitchen remodel typically takes 2–4 weeks once materials are on site. This includes strip-out, any structural changes, plumbing and electrical first fix, unit installation, tiling, flooring and finishing. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your home.
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?+
In most cases, converting an integral garage (attached to your house) does not require planning permission as it's classed as an internal alteration under Permitted Development. Detached garages or properties in conservation areas may need permission. Building regulations approval is always required.
What guarantee do you provide on your work?+
We provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee on all structural works and extensions, issued in writing on the day of handover. Additionally, roofing materials carry a 20-year manufacturer guarantee. We are fully insured with public liability and employer's liability cover.
