Common Questions

Builder FAQs

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Most single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development.

Anything two storey, near a boundary, or in a conservation area usually needs full planning permission.

How long does a house extension take?

A single storey extension typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from groundwork to finish.

Loft conversions and larger builds often run 10 to 16 weeks depending on structural work.

What deposit is fair to pay a builder?

A fair deposit is 10 to 25 percent of the total job value, paid once materials are ordered.

Anyone asking for 50 percent or more upfront is a warning sign.

Should I use a builder with FMB or NHBC accreditation?

Yes, accreditation gives you access to warranty schemes and dispute resolution if something goes wrong.

It also confirms the builder has passed background and quality checks.

How do I compare builder quotes fairly?

Ask for an itemised breakdown covering labour, materials and waste removal separately.

A quote with one lump sum figure makes it hard to spot what is missing.
