Rear extensions
-
Detached houses get four metres of single storey rear extension as of right, and up to eight through prior approval, which is worth knowing on an Ascot plot.
-
Foundations excavated and tied back into the existing structure, with building control viewing the open trench first.
-
An engineer sizes the steel and the calculations go to building control ahead of any cutting, rather than a beam being guessed.
-
Roofing, windows, screed, first and second fix, plastering and decoration, so the space is finished rather than bare.
Loft and garage
-
A detached or semi-detached loft has fifty cubic metres to play with, forty on a terrace, measured off the original roof.
-
Hip to gable, dormers and rooflights, with a designed floor structure in place of one propped off existing rafters.
-
Protected stairway, fire doors, and interlinked mains smoke alarms at each level.
-
Converted garages get a raised floor, the door opening bricked up and insulated walls.
Internal changes
-
A knock-through needs a sized steel and a calculation behind it, so the engineer is booked before anything comes out.
-
Rewires, heating, kitchens and bathrooms are programmed in order so trades are not working on top of each other.
-
A shared wall needs two months of party wall notice, and digging near a neighbour's foundations needs one.
-
Joinery, plastering and decorating by people who do it daily, with the house left clean at the end of it.
