Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a reliable extension builder in Cambridge?

Look for builders with local experience navigating Cambridge's Conservation Areas and planning requirements. Check references from similar properties—Victorian terraces, period homes, or new-build work. FENSA or local authority certification confirms building control compliance.

How much does a house extension cost in Cambridge?

Costs vary widely: single-storey rear extensions (£15,000–£35,000), two-storey extensions (£40,000–£80,000+), loft conversions (£25,000–£50,000). Cambridge's property values and Conservation Area constraints affect pricing. Get quotes from local builders familiar with the area.

How long does planning permission take for a Cambridge extension?

Standard planning applications take 8–13 weeks. Some extensions qualify for Permitted Development (no permission needed). Conservation Areas and listed properties require additional scrutiny. A local builder will advise which route applies to your property.

Do Cambridge extension builders charge VAT?

Most VAT-registered builders charge VAT on labour and materials. Some sole traders below the VAT threshold don't. Ask your builder upfront—it significantly affects your final quote. Check their VAT registration online for transparency.
