Single-storey extensions in Skegness

Covering Skegness

We work in Skegness (PE25) and the places around it, including Boston, King's Lynn and Spalding.

Homes in the East Midlands

Across the East Midlands you find everything from city terraces to modern estates and stone villages, so the right extension depends a lot on the street and the materials around it.

What is included in a single-storey extension in Skegness?

We design the extension around how you use the house: where the light comes from, how the new room joins the old one, and what happens to the drains and the garden. The structure is built in brick or block to match the house, finished with a flat roof and lantern or a pitched roof, then insulated, plastered and handed back ready to decorate.

Planning and building rules in Skegness

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary.

What should I think about before starting?

Drains under the footprint may need diverting or a build-over agreement with the water company.
Kitchens and doors have long lead times, so we order them early.

What are the steps?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

Questions about a single-storey extension in Skegness

Can we stay in the house during the build?

Usually yes. We keep the existing house closed off from the works until the knock-through near the end, and agree a temporary kitchen set-up with you if the kitchen is affected.

Will the brick match?

We source the closest available match for colour, size and texture and agree a sample panel with you before laying.
