House Extensions in Ashford
Serving Ashford & surrounding areas
Ashford extensions are mostly on post-2000 family homes at Singleton, Repton Park and Park Farm — sound bones, predictable structures, and plenty of opportunity to add real family space.

House Extensions for Ashford homes
Why Ashford house extensions briefs are different
We design Ashford extensions to integrate with the property's existing brick palette and roof pitch rather than reading as additions. That's the look most local buyers prefer.
Ashford has scale on its side: thousands of post-2000 family homes at Singleton, Repton Park and Park Farm, plus Victorian terraces around Beaver Road and Edwardian semis near Bybrook.
Local considerations
Ashford Borough Council handles a high volume of applications and tends to be predictable on volumetric extensions, though listed-building consent in Wye and the old town is more involved.
Most of Ashford sits on Gault clay with patchy alluvium near the Stour — that combination shapes whether a piled or trench-fill foundation is the right call.
Extensions are where ground conditions, sightlines and neighbouring rights-of-light decisions cost real money if missed early. We front-load all three before any drawings are firmed up.
What Ashford clients ask for
Most clients want clarity on fixed cost, end-to-end timeline and how disruptive the kitchen-relocation period will be — we put those in writing on day one.
Recent local project
We delivered a wrap-around kitchen-diner extension to a Singleton detached last summer, with matching brick, hipped tile roof and bifold doors to the rear garden.

FAQs
House Extensions in Ashford — frequently asked
Do I need planning permission?
Most rear extensions on Ashford estates fit permitted development; the historic town centre and Wye usually need full consent.
How long do Ashford planning applications take?
Standard apps are 8 weeks, listed-building consent 10–12 weeks.
Do I need building regulations approval as well as planning?
Almost always. Planning approves the principle; building regs approve the construction detail. We submit the building regs application in parallel with planning to save 6–8 weeks.
How long does a single-storey extension take to build?
From breaking ground to handover is typically 14–18 weeks for a 25–35m² rear extension, including weather-tight shell at week 6–7 and fit-out from week 10.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Ashford?
Many single-storey rear extensions on Ashford's post-2000 estates fall under permitted development, but estate properties frequently carry planning conditions or covenants that remove those rights. We check the original consent with Ashford Borough Council before quoting.

Yes — ask at the site visit and we'll point you to completed projects in and around Ashford, and to clients happy to be contacted.
