FAQ
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Farnham?
Not all extensions require planning permission, as some fall under Permitted Development rights. However, larger extensions, listed buildings and properties within conservation areas may require approval. We’re happy to advise you at the start of your project and work alongside your architect where required.
How long does it take to build a house extension?
Every project is different, but a typical single storey extension usually takes between 10 and 16 weeks to complete. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. We’ll provide a clear programme before work begins so you know what to expect.
Can you remove load-bearing walls?
Yes. We regularly carry out structural alterations, including removing load-bearing walls and installing structural steel beams (RSJs) to create open-plan kitchens and family living spaces. All structural work is completed in accordance with the engineer’s design.
Do you build both single and double storey extensions?
Yes. We build both single and double storey house extensions throughout Farnham and the surrounding villages, tailoring every project to suit your home, budget and future plans.
Will my extension match the existing house?
Absolutely. We carefully select materials that complement your existing property, including matching brickwork, roof tiles, render and windows wherever possible, creating an extension that feels like part of the original home.
Can I stay in my home during the build?
In many cases, yes. Most homeowners remain in their property while the work is carried out. We’ll discuss the programme with you in advance and always aim to minimise disruption throughout the build.
Do you work with architects and structural engineers?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with architects, structural engineers and other design professionals to ensure every extension is built exactly as intended. If you don’t already have a designer, we can also recommend trusted local professionals.
Will Building Control be required?
Yes. Most extension projects require Building Control inspections throughout construction to ensure the work complies with current Building Regulations. We’ll coordinate inspections as part of the build.

Every extension is different, so costs vary depending on the size, design, specification and structural requirements. We provide fully itemised quotations, giving you complete transparency so you know exactly what’s included before work begins.

Single Storey Extensions in Farnham
A single storey extension is one of the most effective ways to increase your living space while improving the way your home functions. Whether you’re creating a larger kitchen, an open-plan living area, a home office or a utility room, a well-designed extension can completely transform your property.
At Rogate Construction, we build single storey extensions throughout Farnham that blend seamlessly with your existing home. Many homeowners choose rear extensions with large glazed doors, roof lanterns and skylights to maximise natural light and create a stronger connection with the garden.
Where required, we carry out structural alterations, including removing load-bearing walls and installing structural steel beams to create spacious, open-plan layouts. Working alongside your architect and structural engineer, we carefully manage every stage of the build to deliver a finished extension that looks as though it has always been part of your home.
Double Storey Extensions in Farnham
A double storey extension is an excellent way to increase both your living space and the value of your home. By extending over two floors, you can create a larger kitchen or family room downstairs while adding bedrooms, bathrooms or a dedicated home office upstairs.
At Rogate Construction, we design and build double storey extensions throughout Farnham that complement the style and character of your existing property. Careful planning and attention to detail ensure the new extension blends naturally with the original home, from matching brickwork and roof tiles to windows and external finishes.
Many projects include structural alterations and internal remodelling to improve the overall flow of the property. Our experienced team manages every stage of construction, delivering a high-quality extension that provides the additional space your family needs while enhancing the long-term value of your home.
Structural Alterations & Open-Plan Living
Creating open, flexible living spaces is one of the most popular improvements homeowners make when extending their property. Combining an extension with structural alterations allows you to transform smaller rooms into bright, spacious family areas that better suit modern living.
We regularly carry out structural alterations throughout Farnham, including removing load-bearing walls, installing structural steel beams (RSJs) and creating wider openings between rooms. Every alteration is completed in accordance with the structural engineer’s design, ensuring your home remains safe and structurally sound.
Whether you’re opening up your kitchen, improving the flow between living spaces or completely reconfiguring the ground floor, our experienced team delivers carefully planned structural work with minimal disruption and exceptional attention to detail.
Designing an Extension That Complements Your Home
A well-designed extension should feel like a natural part of your home rather than an obvious addition. That’s why every project begins with careful planning and a clear understanding of how you want to use the new space.
We work closely with homeowners, architects and structural engineers to ensure every detail has been considered before construction begins. From the layout and natural light to garden access and future family needs, every decision is made to create a practical, attractive living space.
Matching materials also play an important role. Wherever possible, we source complementary bricks, roof tiles, render and external finishes so your extension blends seamlessly with the original property, creating a finished result you’ll enjoy for many years to come.
