Who We Are

Home Extension Builders Hampshire Homeowners Trust

Hampshire Building is a design-led team of house extension builders working with homeowners across Hampshire and into Wiltshire, Dorset, and West Sussex. If you’re planning a home extension, whether that’s extending a kitchen, creating an open-plan living space, or making better use of underused space at the rear of your property, we manage the entire process in-house. There’s no subcontracting, and no disappearing mid-project.

As extension builders in Hampshire, we work the way an architectural practice does. Drawings, detailing, and finish are considered from the very first conversation, not added as an afterthought once the build begins.

We take care of structural design, planning applications, and party wall agreements where required, so before a single brick is laid, you understand exactly what your extension involves, what it will cost, and how long it will take.

What to Consider Before You Extend

Before starting a house extension, it’s worth understanding a few things that will shape your project.

Planning permission vs. permitted development.

Some extensions fall under permitted development rights and don't require a full planning application, while others do. This depends on the size, position, and design of your extension. We'll advise you on which applies before any drawings are produced.

Party wall agreements.

If you're extending close to a neighbouring boundary, a party wall agreement may be required before work can begin. We manage this process and the correct notices on your behalf.

Single-storey vs. double-storey

A double-storey extension involves more structural work and a longer build programme than a single-storey addition, which affects both cost and timescale. It's worth factoring this in early when deciding what's realistic for your budget.

How the extension connects to your existing home?

The best extensions are designed to feel like part of the original house, not an obvious add-on. This means considering rooflines, brick matching, and how natural light moves through the new space, not just the square footage being added.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house extension cost in Hampshire?

Cost depends on size, specification, and site conditions. Without seeing the project, any figure would be a guess. The only way to get an accurate quote for your specific extension is a site visit.

Do I need planning permission for a home extension?

Quite often not. Many single-storey extensions fall under permitted development rights, so full planning permission is not always required. It depends on the size of the extension, your property type, and whether there are any local restrictions in place, such as a conservation area. It is worth checking with your local council, or getting in touch with us if you want a steer on your specific plans.

Does a house extension add value to my property?

Generally yes, particularly extensions that add genuine living space or an extra bedroom. How much value depends on your local property market and how well the finished space is designed and built, which is part of why we treat design and detailing as seriously as the build itself.

How long does a home extension take from start to finish?

It helps to think in two phases. Design, detailing, and any planning work comes first, then the build itself. A single-storey extension typically runs between 10 and 16 weeks on site once work starts. We will always give you a realistic timeline specific to your project once we have seen it.

Can I still live in my house during the extension?

In most cases, yes, especially with single-storey work where the disruption tends to be contained to one area. Larger or double-storey projects sometimes mean a bit more upheaval, but we will talk you through exactly what to expect before work starts.

Do I need an architect for a house extension?

Not always. Because we take a design-led approach, drawings, detailing, and finish are considered from the very first conversation. A lot of that thinking is built into how we work rather than needing to be handled separately by an architect.

How do I find good house extension builders near me?

Word of mouth and recommendations are always worth a lot, but it is also worth looking at how thoroughly a builder talks through the design with you, not just the price. If you are based in Hampshire’s villages and market towns, we are happy to have that conversation and see whether we are the right fit for your project.
