home extensions Oxford

The Idea

Home extensions are an excellent way to add more space and value to your property, and they are becoming increasingly popular in Oxford. With property prices continuing to rise, many homeowners are choosing to extend their homes rather than moving to a larger property. Whether you need an extra bedroom, a larger kitchen, or a dedicated workspace, a well-designed home extension can transform your living space and enhance your quality of life. However, there are various factors to consider before embarking on an extension project, including planning permission, budget, and finding the right builder. Whatever the home extension R&B Builders can help. There are a few things to consider first though before you start.

Considerations:

1. Planning Permission:

Planning permission can seem like a nightmare to try and understand, that’s why we have put together a handy Home Extension Planning Guide to download and read in your own time. Because there are so many different variables involved, it would be beneficial to get in touch with us to discuss your requirements and our team will be happy to offer advice. If you are still unsure and want some advice from the local council you can find it here: White Horse Council Building Control

2. Party Wall Notice:

First off what is a party wall notice? – A party wall notice is served to your neighbours when you are planning to build an extension on your home. The reason for this is that you are likely to build an extension that affects the party wall that you both share. For more information on this please refer to the following booklet: party wall-booklet

3. Building Inspector Site Visits:

Once we start on your new home extension a local council building inspector will come at different stages to inspect the build. This is to ensure we are building to regulations and the quality meets government standards. the site inspectors will visit periodically right up until the extension is completed.

4. Completion Certificates:

Once your home extension is completed and the building inspectors have visited, made sure that your Home Extension has been built to a high standard and within building regulation rules. You will then be issued with a Completion Certificate from your local council.

5. Building Regulations:

Building regulations make sure that your house extension is built to a standard acceptable in the UK, this is beneficial to you and your family and should be taken seriously. Things like plumbing, electrical work and roofing regulations are reviewed and surveyed. At R&B Builders we build everything to standard, we are fully certified as well as regulated. We have put together a guide on our website regarding Building Regulations that explains everything that is involved.

6. Previous Work:
