We are devoted to every assignment that we work on to make sure that it comes out the best way possible for our consumer’s needs and wants.
When considering extensions for houses, you should first think about the minimum ceiling heights, site insurance, considering adding basement space, balancing your accommodation, knowing the building regulations for extensions, notifying building control, removing wall, rules for extending in conservation areas, loft conversions, extending listed building, minimum room sizes, knowing the party wall act, knowing the difference between an estimate and a quotation, and being aware of removing trees.
Although the legal minimum ceiling height has now been reduced to 7’-0” from the Building Regulations, there is still a practical minimum height and this is especially worth thinking about in attic and cellar conversions. All rooms should normally have a floor to ceiling height of at least 2.1m throughout. Most people don’t know that most home insurance providers will not cover the building if you are changing the structure of the build. When carrying out the works you need to have site insurance with an A rated insurer to cover the existing structure and the new works until you complete the works.
Creating basement egress windows are a new requirement when finishing a basement as of October 4, 2017 and a building permit is require although it is always worth checking your local authority’s policy on basements. Although there are no legal requirements to provide more than one bathroom, it is practical to have at least one full bathroom on each level.
