Home Extensions in London

Discuss a proposed home extension around the property, intended use, access and the work required to connect old and new spaces.

Decor Plast’s established service list includes home extensions. A useful first conversation covers the existing property, the space you want to create and the information already available. Design, structural calculations, approvals and specialist work are confirmed separately rather than assumed.

What can be discussed

A scope shaped around the property

01

Property and scope review

The existing layout, proposed footprint, access and intended use are discussed before a quotation is prepared.

02

Building and internal work

The build, openings, internal finishes and connections to the existing home are scoped only where they can be verified.

03

Finishing work

Plastering, carpentry and decoration can be considered as connected elements where included in the written quotation.

04

Clear exclusions

Professional design, structural engineering, planning submissions and regulated installations are not implied unless expressly confirmed.

Enquiry and project process

Clarify the work before fixing the scope

  1. Describe

    Share the postcode, property, intended result and any existing plans or product details.

  2. Assess

    Review condition, access, dependencies and whether a site visit or specialist information is needed.

  3. Define

    Record included work, exclusions, customer-supplied items and responsibilities in writing.

  4. Plan

    Agree practical sequencing only after the necessary information and requirements are available.

Permissions and specialist work

Check what applies to this particular project

Some extensions can fall within permitted development limits, while others need planning permission. Most extensions require building regulations approval. Requirements depend on the property and proposal, so confirm them with the relevant professionals and local authority before work starts.

  • Property and existing condition
  • Access and neighbouring constraints
  • Planning or building-control status
  • Specialist design or regulated work
Service questions

Useful answers about home extensions

These are general starting points. The property, project information and written quotation determine the actual scope.

Ask about your project
Can you quote from plans?

Plans and supporting information are useful, but the property and site access normally still need to be reviewed before a reliable scope is prepared.

Will my extension need planning permission?

It depends on the property, previous alterations, location and proposed dimensions. Some house extensions may be permitted development, but this should be checked for the specific address.

Do extensions need building regulations approval?

Most extensions require building regulations approval. The appropriate route and responsible parties should be agreed before construction.

Do you provide architectural or structural design?

No design or structural-engineering service is assumed on this page. Share any drawings or calculations you already have and confirm what additional professional input is required.

Can the new space be decorated too?

Painting and decorating can be scoped alongside suitable building work, with preparation and finishes set out separately.

What should I send with an enquiry?

Provide the postcode, existing and proposed layout, approximate dimensions, photographs, intended use and any drawings or approvals already available.
