FAQ
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Godalming?
Some house extensions can be built under Permitted Development rights, while others require planning permission. This often depends on the size of the extension and whether your property is listed or located within a conservation area. We’re happy to advise you before your project begins.
How long does it take to build a house extension?
A typical single storey extension usually takes between 10 and 16 weeks, while larger or more complex projects may take longer. We’ll provide a clear construction programme before work starts.
Can you remove load-bearing walls?
Yes. We regularly remove load-bearing walls and install structural steel beams (RSJs) to create larger, open-plan living spaces. All structural work is carried out in accordance with the engineer’s design.

Can I stay in my home during the build?
In most cases, yes. We’ll discuss the programme with you before work begins and always aim to minimise disruption while maintaining a safe and tidy site.
Do you work with architects and structural engineers?
Yes. We work closely with architects, structural engineers and other design professionals throughout every stage of your extension project. If you don’t already have a designer, we can also recommend trusted local professionals.

Structural Alterations & Open-Plan Living
Open-plan living remains one of the most popular ways to improve a home, creating brighter, more flexible spaces that better suit modern family life. Many homeowners choose to combine their extension with structural alterations to achieve a more spacious layout.
