An idyllic, serene location perfect for settling down, Biggin Hill is the ideal place for couples and young families to set up a home. And with a range of home styles from detached houses to bungalows, property owners have many options to create incredible homes filled with beautiful memories.
Homeowners looking to upgrade are also not short of opportunities. Home extensions in Biggin Hill are a great way to make their homes even more comfortable and spacious.
Good Design and Build are the leading home extension specialists in Biggin Hill and are the go-to experts for homeowners looking to create that extra living space and elegant finish for their homes. With expertise, professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail, Good Design and Build create the ultimate home extensions that bring comfort, space, and luxury into your home.
With a multitude of options based on space requirements and the area available, home extensions in Biggin Hill are categorised into different types such as:
Rear extensions- An incredibly versatile and popular type of extension, rear extensions occupy the rear area and back garden area of a property. These types of extensions can be used to create guest rooms, kitchen extensions, and office pods.
Side extensions- As the name suggests, side extensions run along the side of a property. These are wonderful options to create larger, brighter living areas and are even ideal for playrooms.
Side return extensions- Side return extensions utilise the area at the side of the property along with a portion of the rear area. These are preferred to wraparound extensions as they do not use up too much of the garden space. Side return extensions have enormous potential in creating the beautiful indoor-outdoor connections that are coveted in modern dining rooms.
Multi-storey extensions- Though more complex than single-storey extensions, multi-storey extensions are highly sought-after as they essentially double the square footage of single-storey extensions without adding to the roofing and excavation expenses. These extensions are perfect for adding bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices.
Except for certain extensions of limited sizes that fall under permitted developments, planning permission and building controls approval is required for house extensions in Biggin Hill.
The process requires a comprehensive application that includes detailed diagrams of the proposed extension and may take up to eight weeks.
Fortunately, Good Design and Build oversee the entire process for our clients. This includes:
- Surveying the location
- Submission of detailed diagrams and structural calculations
- Coordinating with the local council
- Securing planning permission
Due to this, homeowners can be sure that every aspect of the build complies with building guidelines and is constructed to the highest standards.
With its unique architecture, homes in Biggin Hill emanate charm and beauty. Home extensions must therefore be styled to integrate with the original style with a twist of modernity without jarring the design.
Most house extensions in Biggin Hill feature these home extension styles:
Kitchen extensions- Invariably the most-requested style of home extension, kitchen extensions are wonderful opportunities to combine modernity and elegance to create updated kitchens that are ideally suited to host intimate family dinners or large celebrations.
Garage conversions- Garage conversions are a great way to renew existing space, integrate it into the layout of the house, and create new space and dimension in a home. Their design can be varied as they could be converted into offices, playrooms, bathrooms, or guest rooms. This flexibility makes garage conversions extremely desirable to homeowners.
Loft conversions- A cost-effective solution to convert unused space upstairs into more functional living space, loft conversions are ideal for adding space and value to your home. The versatility of loft conversions allows homeowners to create unique designs perfect for fulfilling space requirements.
Refurbishments- Even without an extension, the existing space within a home can be transformed and upgraded through refurbishments. By designing open-floor plans and optimising the natural light that enters, larger and brighter modern living spaces are created.
The cost of house extensions is dependent on a number of variables including:
- The type of extension
- The size of the extension
- Location
- Groundwork
- Building materials
- Fittings and fixtures
- Specialists’ fees, etc.
As such, the cost of home extensions in Biggin Hill can range from £35,000 to £140,000.
Good Design and Build create customised extensions at affordable prices. We take into account client specifications, requirements, and budgets when designing home extensions.
Good Design and Build offer free consultations and provide free quotes for proposed extension projects. That’s not all. We ensure complete cost transparency throughout the build process and even offer easy payment plans to all our clients.
This ensures that homeowners can create the extensions they want at their specific budgets.
Home extensions are incredible opportunities to add space and value to your home. But they must be done right to ensure a good balance of modernity and understated elegance. More importantly, the extension should be cohesive with the original structure to maintain its integrity.
Good Design and Build takes care of all this and more. We not only design beautiful home extensions that are tailored to meet client requirements, but we also oversee the entire process from planning to completion ensuring a stress-free experience for homeowners.
This includes surveying the location, designing bespoke extensions, obtaining planning permission, daily on-site management of the build, and final handover. With our team of experts, every step of the process is managed with utmost professionalism and diligence.
This commitment is what enables Good Design and Build to create high-quality extensions that are backed by warranties and guaranteed to exceed all your home extension expectations.
How we deliver projects
Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.
1. Design
This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.
2. Planning
At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.
3. Technical
Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.
4. Pre-build
90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.
5. Build
One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.
6. Handover
As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
