What is the cost of house extensions in Walthamstow?

The type extension you want, and details of the individual project all contribute to cost. Much will depend on your accommodation requirements and how much garden space you are prepared to use if extending back from the house. The extension size and your choice of windows, doors, the type of roofing and internal finishes – all these influence costs. However, house extensions don’t need to be large to have an impact; even a modest extension will transform the feel and versatility of your home.

Getting things right means it’s essential to work with professionals who deliver excellent value for money, with good advice along the way.  As an early step on this journey, we can help you decide on the most suitable type of house extension: Ground floor extensions and rear extensions are some of the most common, but you might also consider a side extension, an L-shaped extension (sometimes called a wrap-around extension), a side return extension or a two-storey extension. 

For  house extensions in Walthamstow you can expect costs to be approximately £3500-£5000 per square metre. So an extension measuring 2.5m x 4m (about 8ft x 13ft), this will mean a cost of £35,000 to £40,000. 

Each house extension is unique, but there are also factors common to all.  As well as the costs of construction, and you should consider 

• architectural designs & specifications
• advice from a structural engineer and/or a party wall surveyor
• your application for Planning Permission or for a Certificate of Lawful Development
• Building Regulations / Building Control approval.
