Conversions and extensions

If you love where you live, why move? Our aim is to transform your home with thoughtful design that suits your lifestyle and budget. Projects range from simply removing walls, rezoning and moving stairs through to single and double extensions, loft conversions and granny annexes. We listen and fully understand your vision, so we can create a design that is specific to you.

Project brief and feasibility

Our feasibility study fee of £95 +vat covers an on-site socially distanced visit to further discuss your ideas, review the environment and setting, and provide a sketch drawing.

i

Design development

We develop the sketch into a concept design taking into consideration functional practicalities, required works, potential planning requirements and provide cost estimates. From this, detailed working drawings are prepared.

m

Planning application

Some projects don’t need planning permission, but if you do, our full working drawings for planning and building control approval will be submitted to the applicable local authority department on your behalf.

Approvals

The planning process usually takes around eight weeks and building control approval about four weeks. These two processes can run together, so you should receive full approval to start work within eight weeks from submitting the drawings.

Time to build!

With all planning stages complete, the working drawings can be sent to builders to get detailed quotes. We have a number of excellent builders that we can recommend for your project if required.

  • We found Kevin very helpful with planning our first floor extension. Having listened carefully to our aspirations on room sizing and layout, amongst other requirements, he provided clear and straightforward solutions that were followed by the Building contractor. We are very happy with the end result. I would recommend them.

  • I contacted Kingswood to draw up plans for a kitchen, dining room and bathroom extension. Kevin always gets back to me pretty fast and has been very helpful along the way with any changes. He's been great.

    We asked Kevin at KTA to help work out where my parents could fit a new cloakroom/WC in their bungalow, as space was limited and they didn't want to have to pay for an extension. With only having one bathroom in the house, it's not that handy - so we decided they needed another one, but where to put it was tricky. Kevin was very helpful and came up with a really good way to use some space from the study, and the good news is they can still use the room as a study. Really pleased with how Kevin looked after my parents. In the past, they've asked for help from tradesmen who've done nothing but let them down. At last, I've found someone they can trust! They have now found a good bathroom specialist to build the new cloakroom and we look forward to seeing the end results. Would definitely recommend Kevin and the team at KTA.
