The amount of room you have can be increased by simply building an extension to your existing property. But when is the ideal time to construct an extension? We look at some of the important factors you should consider when it comes to planning your new extension project.
So, when is the right time to build an extension?
Customers often ask our builders when the ideal time of year is to begin home building projects. Whether it is a simple kitchen extension or you are looking to get an extra bedroom added, it may be impacted by the unpredictable nature of the weather in the UK. Because of this, it is better to avoid any building work during the winter. However, there are several seasons of the year that are often better for construction work.
For instance, in Bexhill, Eastbourne and Hastings, our builders recommend starting any extension work during spring and summer. The reason for this is that the months are drier and warmer, which makes it easier to carry out any big building projects.
We highly recommend applying for planning permission before starting any extension work in your home. This can be applied anytime during the year and from experience, we have found planning authorities are busier during peak holiday seasons therefore be prepared for any delays that may occur.
