Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Romford job. Chose on the strength of seeing a finished extension in the next street. Crash deck during demolition kept the rest of the house liveable. ยฃ99600 over 18 working weeks, no surprise extras. Lived in throughout - dust kept to the construction zone, never the rest of the house.

House Extension in Romford โ€” FAQs

Single-storey extensions in Romford typically run ยฃ2,000 to ยฃ3,000 per square metre, so a 20 square metre rear extension usually costs ยฃ40,000 to ยฃ60,000. Two-storey extensions cost more in total but less per square metre because the roof and foundations are shared.
Many single-storey rear extensions in Romford fall under permitted development, up to 3 metres for an attached house or 4 metres for a detached one, or up to 6 and 8 metres under the larger home extension prior approval scheme. Conservation areas, listed buildings and most side extensions need full planning permission, so check with your builder first.
A single-storey extension usually takes 10 to 16 weeks on site, and a two-storey extension 16 to 24 weeks, weather and access permitting. Allow time for design, planning and building regulations approval before work begins in Romford.
If your extension is built up to or astride a shared boundary, or involves digging near the foundations of a neighbouring property, the Party Wall Act applies and you must serve notice. Most Romford builders flag this early so a party wall surveyor can be arranged in good time.
Yes, almost all extensions need building regulations approval covering structure, insulation, drainage and fire safety, even when planning permission is not required. Your Romford builder works to these standards and arranges building control inspections at each key stage.
