Extending out

  • Two storey rear work is permitted development only to three metres deep and seven clear of the rear boundary, so many need planning.

  • Footings dug and tied into the existing foundation, and building control sees the trench open before concrete.

  • Steel sizes come from an engineer's calculations, submitted to building control before anything structural is cut.

  • Roofing, glazing, screed, first and second fix, plastering and decorating, so what is handed over is a finished room.

Garages and lofts

  • Fifty cubic metres on a detached or semi, forty on a terrace, measured against the original roof space and not today's.

  • Dormers, rooflights and hip to gable, with a properly designed floor rather than one propped off the existing rafters.

  • The escape route is protected, the doors are fire doors, the alarms interlinked.

  • The 1930s attached garage converts well: floor raised, door filled, walls insulated.

Internal work

  • Knocking two rooms together calls for a steel and a calculation, so the engineer comes ahead of anything being removed.

  • Kitchens, bathrooms, heating and rewiring programmed in sequence so that trades are not obstructing each other.

  • Two months' notice on party structure work, one month where digging comes near a neighbour's foundations.

  • Finishing trades who do nothing else, and the house is cleaned properly before you get it back.
