At Young's Construction, we understand that every property is different.

From period cottages in Wymondham to modern homes in Norwich, we have the experience to handle extensions of all shapes and sizes across Norfolk.

Our Extension Process

We follow a clear, step-by-step process so you always know what to expect. Transparency and communication are at the heart of everything we do.

1. Initial Survey and Consultation

We begin with a free, no-obligation visit to your property. During this survey we assess the site, discuss your requirements, and talk through any planning permission or building regulations that may apply. We will also take measurements and photographs to inform the design stage.

2. Design and Planning

Once we understand your goals, we work with trusted architects and designers to produce detailed plans. We handle planning applications and liaise with the local council on your behalf, keeping you informed at every stage. If your extension falls under permitted development, we will advise you accordingly to save time and cost.

3. Building and Construction

With approvals in place, our experienced team gets to work. We manage all groundwork, structural work, roofing, plumbing, and electrics in-house or through vetted subcontractors. We keep the site tidy, minimise disruption, and provide regular progress updates so there are no surprises.

4. Finishing and Handover

The final phase includes plastering, painting, flooring, and any bespoke joinery. We carry out a thorough snagging inspection before handover, ensuring every detail meets our high standards. Your new extension will be ready to enjoy from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a house extension?

Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development rights, meaning you may not need full planning permission. However, this depends on the size of the extension, your property type, and local restrictions. We will assess your situation during the initial survey and handle any necessary applications on your behalf.

How long does it take to build an extension?

Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward single-storey extension typically takes between eight and twelve weeks from the start of groundwork to completion. Larger two-storey extensions may take twelve to sixteen weeks. We will provide a realistic timeline at the quotation stage so you can plan accordingly.

How much does a home extension cost in Norfolk?

Costs depend on factors such as the size of the extension, the specification of materials, and the complexity of the build. We offer free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your specific requirements. Contact us to arrange a site visit and we will provide a detailed, transparent quotation.

Will an extension add value to my home?

In most cases, yes. A well-built extension that adds usable living space, such as an extra bedroom or a larger kitchen, can significantly increase your property's market value. The key is quality workmanship and a design that integrates well with the existing property, both of which are central to our approach.

Can you help with the design and architectural drawings?

Absolutely. We work with experienced architects and designers who can produce full plans and drawings for your extension. We manage this process for you, from initial concept through to final approval, making the whole experience as straightforward as possible.
