Testimonials

Extension Stories

"Denis and Dan recently carried out the works to the corner of our house, I can say we are absolutely thrilled with the job from start to finish, it was nothing but professional. Denis updated us each step of the way with pics and messages and nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DNDH to anyone wanting any works. Thanks to these guys we have had our vision come to life!"

"Dennis and his team done an excellent job on our double story extension in Letchworth. We couldn't be any happy with the work they done. The work was very neat and tidy and above standard. Dennis done lots of extra jobs also with no issues. Definitely recommend these lads."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Cambridge?

Many single-storey rear extensions fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning no full planning application is required. However, double-storey extensions, side extensions, and properties in conservation areas typically need planning permission. We'll advise you on the correct route during your free consultation and can handle the application if needed.

How much does a house extension cost?

Extension costs vary depending on size, specification, and structural complexity. Single-storey extensions typically start lower than double-storey builds, while wrap-around extensions and structural alterations add to the cost. We provide a free, itemised quote within 24 hours so you know exactly what you're paying for—no hidden costs.

How long does an extension take to build?

A single-storey extension usually takes 8–12 weeks from breaking ground to handover, while double-storey extensions can take 12–16 weeks. Factors include weather, ground conditions, and Building Regulations inspections. We provide a clear build programme with milestone dates at the start of every project.

Do you handle Building Regulations approval?

Yes. We manage the full Building Regulations process, including structural calculations, site inspections, and final sign-off. Our work is fully compliant with current UK Building Regulations, and you receive all completion documentation on handover.

Can you remove load-bearing walls for open-plan layouts?

Absolutely. We specialise in structural alterations including load-bearing wall removal, RSJ and steel beam installation, and underpinning. All structural work is engineered to specification and signed off by Building Control.
