Covering Sutton-in-Ashfield
Sutton-in-Ashfield sits 13 miles north of Nottingham, with Kirkby-in-Ashfield 2 miles to the south and Mansfield 3 miles to the east.
Homes in the East Midlands
The East Midlands combines red-brick terraces in the cities with a lot of post-war and modern estate housing, so rear extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions are all common.
What do you get with a single-storey extension?
A single-storey extension adds one level of new floor space to the back or side of a house, usually to open up a kitchen, dining or family room. It is the most common way to gain space without moving, and many can be built without a planning application.
- Measured survey and design drawings
- Building control application and inspections
- Foundations, drainage and structural steel

Do you need permission for a single-storey extension in Sutton-in-Ashfield?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
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?
- Large glazed areas need to meet energy rules, which can shape the size of doors and rooflights.
- Kitchens and doors have long lead times, so we order them early.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
