FREE Home Visits
We can start you on your planning journey by making an appointment for one of our experienced consultants. This service is FREE.
Our consultant will listen to all your ideas, requirements and proposed budget. The consultant will then advise you on any other creative options so you have the best picture of creating your extension or conversion.
FREE Quotation
Once we’ve discussed your ideas and options, plus agreeing a way forward, we will prepare a free quotation that details all your extension or conversion milestones. We can also supply examples of our work and any other information you may require.
Extension and Conversion Partnerships
As we have so many years of experience we’ve worked with many tradesmen in your area, including electricians, glaziers, interior designers, builders, decorators, and party wall experts. We’ll supply their contact details on request.
Conversions in Hitchin
An extension or conversion is a lot cheaper than moving these days and adds significant value to your home. Let HED make the most of the value with precise drawing plans.
Find More Space
Home Extension Designs makes every effort to maximise the space available in your home.
You may need a larger lounge, kitchen or bedroom; an extra room for the children to play or relax in, a study, utility room, bathroom, toilet or even a gym.
How Long does it take to gain planning permission?
Local authorities should decide within eight weeks. If it is a basic extension then eight weeks is a good guide.
Planning officers will advertise the application; consult neighbours and perhaps other agencies if needed.
What is meant by a structural alteration?
Structural alteration is defined as ‘any change in the supporting members of a building’. This includes load bearing walls, partitions, columns, beams or girders or any significant change to the roof or exterior walls.
What if my Planning Permission is refused?
Around three quarters of planning applications are approved first time in England. Having proper and detailed drawings for your project will increase your chances of success and therefore save money and time.
