Whether you’re considering a wrap around extension, a glazed single or two-storey build or even an extra floor, there are many things to think about before you go ahead with your project. From choosing a Builder for extension to understanding how much an extension costs there are plenty of criterion you’ll need to get right for your project to be a success.

Can you extend 6 metres without planning permission?

Firstly, be clear about what you want from your extension. A good house builder should be able to help you find a design that matches your needs. It’s also a good idea to ask the builder whether they have any previous experience building extensions.

If they do, then this will help them provide you with a more accurate quotation for the work. You might also find that they’re a member of a professional body such as the Federation of Master Builders or have CHAS certification, which will give you confidence in their work.

Another thing to ask is if they’re used to working on houses of your size; a general house builder is likely to be more experienced than a specialist company. You could also ask the builders if they have any advice on keeping costs down for an extension, such as by using budget materials like bricks and concrete blockwork rather than a more expensive system, or by choosing less complex designs to keep labour costs down.

Finally, you might want to ask the builders about their protection protocols as they work on your project. It’s important to have a builder that will follow protection tips so that dust and debris don’t enter your home during the works and damage your furniture and belongings.

Spray foam insulation creates a custom air seal when installed throughout a home’s building envelope. This helps to keep conditioned air inside during the winter and out of the home during the summer, reducing energy costs right away.

It also reduces moisture that can cause mold, mildew, and rot. Foam’s unique structure protects against moisture that could otherwise find its way into your home, especially in attics and crawl spaces.

This is because it fills the small gaps in walls and other areas, preventing water from seeping through and into the underlying structures. Spray foam can even stop condensation in walls when there is a large temperature difference between the interior and exterior of your home.

Because it provides such excellent sealing, spray foam can help to prevent indoor air quality problems like mold development, which will lead to costly remediation expenses. It can also block outside pollutants and toxins from entering the home, protecting occupants against illness and other concerns.

Spray foam has also been found to be more eco-friendly than other insulation materials due to recent advancements in blowing agents. Open and closed cell spray foams are available with low GWP (Global Warming Potential), meaning they will have a smaller impact on the environment.

Another benefit of spray foam is that it’s effective in limiting street noise, creating a peaceful and serene living space for you and your family to enjoy. It can also limit the flow of pests, making your home a sanctuary free from critters and other unwanted intruders.
