Extension Types Covered

A single storey extension is built onto a portion of the home with one or more of the sides of the extension attached to the existing property and only the ground floor and possible basement built into it.

A building control inspector is required for single storey extensions. Your building project may be a permitted development which means you may not need to apply for planning permission from your local council.

Side return extensions make use of the unused space in the alleyway down the side of your home. It might not seem like a lot of extra space but it can really open up your home.
This type of home extension is ideal if you dream of an open-plan area that will become the heart of the home.

This home extension build combines a side return extension and a rear extension. It is ideal for homeowners that want to maximise the space on the ground floor and add extra rooms like a utility room or a downstairs toilet.

The idea of an open-plan kitchen extension with an island and a hidden utility room is a must for many people.
Double story house extensions look impressive. If you want to make the most of the property you have, a double story extension will provide all the square footage you need.

You can create a large beautiful space downstairs and upstairs there will be space for an extra bedroom, home office or bathroom.

Over structure extensions include building over the garage. Garage conversions are very popular they provide extra space for an extra bedroom, office, or gym in the home from what might have been just a dumping ground or unused space.
A loft conversion can add a much needed extra bedroom, office, or bathroom. Some of our clients choose to have a loft conversion at the same time as an extension to maximise space. We are able to carry out loft conversions alongside a home extension. For more information click here.

What Our Client’s Say

client3

A huge thanks to Alpha Constructions team and everyone involved in building our extension. They have created us a large 50 square metre open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area and we look forward to enjoying it as a family for many years to come. The job was started exactly when agreed and the quality of workmanship has been first-rate throughout the build. Communication was excellent and we could always contact someone if we needed to. There were some unforeseen issues with the existing part of the property and the way it was dealt with by Wahid and the team is a true testament to the sheer professionalism of this firm. I would not hesitate to recommend Alpha Constructions and we will definitely be using them for further works.”

Wahid and his Alpha Constructions team built us a loft conversion just in time for Christmas.

All of the tradesmen that worked on our loft conversion were very friendly and helpful. Came up with some great ideas and went above and beyond to make the process as pain-free as possible! Guys tidied up after themselves and were very respectful.

We are absolutely thrilled with our loft conversion, quality of the work and all interactions with Wahid and the guys could not recommend strongly enough.

Alpha Constructions built us a very large extension across the whole length of our home. One of the largest builds the team had done, and we couldn’t be happier. Alpha Constructions was realistic and is the only tradesman I have met who gets back to you each time call. The guys are an established team and clearly work well together, minimising delays as much as possible. We are absolutely thrilled with our extension, quality of the work and all interactions with Wahid and the guys could not recommend strongly enough.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Not all our extensions have required planning permission. More often than not a house extension can be carried out under permitted development so long as it fits the criteria. You can contact us for more information or see the Essex County Council planning here.

A single story rear extension is not permitted to extend beyond the rear wall of the original house by more than three metres on an attached house and four metres on a detached house.

The maximum height of single storey extensions is four metres.

An extension of more than one floor is not permitted to extend beyond the original rear wall of the property by more than three metres.

If you need full planning permission rather than permitted development for a house extension and more space in London, there will be an application fee you must pay and costs for the plans to be made. An architect or a building company like us can provide the plans.

Actual costs vary starting with alterations and extensions made to a single story dwelling house, and increasing from there, which all depends on the size of the property extension.

Once you have permission to build work can start on the house extension by our exceptional team of builders in Essex.

Getting permission for a house extension when you need it can be a stressful time. But getting permission from planners should be around eight weeks for a decision on whether it can go ahead.

With a large or complex application it can take as long as sixteen weeks, especially if an environmental impact assessment is carried out so, please be prepared for the wait.

We have many years of experience when it comes to house extensions and obtaining planning permission (when required) we can keep you informed during the process.

All our extensions are bespoke, as home extension experts we are proud to show you our previous extension builds that we have carried out.
