Used The Extension Company for a loft conversion on our semi detached in Barnet and couldn't be happier. They explained what was possible at the first visit, sorted the planning side, and gave a fixed price with no surprises at the end.…” read the full review

Really impressed with the entire project. The side extension and conservatory have been finished to a very high standard and the team made the process straight forward and stress-free. It’s transformed the space and added so much value, would definitely recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common home extension questions

How much does a house extension cost in London?

A single-storey rear extension typically runs £60,000 to £120,000+ in North London depending on size, glazing and finish. We quote a fixed, itemised figure after a free site visit — or design yours in the Extension Builder for an honest guide price in 60 seconds.

Do I need planning permission?

Many single-storey extensions fall under permitted development, so no full application is needed. Where permission is required, we design to what your council demonstrably approves and handle the whole application for you.

How long does an extension take?

Design and planning usually take 8-12 weeks, and a single-storey build typically 10-16 weeks on site. We agree a programme with you before work starts and manage it end to end.

Who actually does the building work?

The Extension Company is the extensions studio of Pine Grove Design & Build Ltd — the same team designs, manages and builds your project. Nothing is passed on, sold on, or subcontracted to strangers.

Is the price really fixed?

Yes. You get a fixed, itemised figure before you sign, and the number you sign is the number you pay — it only changes if you change the specification.

What's included in your service?

Everything: design and drawings, the planning application, building control, structural engineering, the build itself and project management — one team from first sketch to handover.

Do you handle party wall agreements?

Most London extensions touch a shared wall, so yes — we advise on party wall notices early and work alongside appointed surveyors so the agreement never holds up your build.

What about building regulations?

All our designs comply with UK building regulations, and we produce the technical drawings and manage building control sign-off as part of the fixed price.

Do you do lofts and bigger projects too?

Yes — loft conversions, wrap-arounds, double-storey extensions and whole-house transformations across North London and the Hertfordshire border.

When can you start?

We can usually do your free site visit within days, design starts straight after, and build slots are typically booked 6-10 weeks out. Call 020 3051 9430 to check current lead times.
