What drives house extension cost in Biddenden
Biddenden's typical housing stock — weatherboarded cottages, farmhouses, oast conversions — has a big effect on cost. Conservation overlays around Biddenden Village Green can push joinery and roofing spec up by 10–15% because of matching tile, lime mortar or sash detailing.

Biddenden cost FAQs
Is Biddenden more expensive than other parts of Kent for a house extension?
Marginally — Biddenden's TN27 postcode runs about 3–6% above the Kent average, mostly because of conservation detail and parking constraints near Biddenden Village Green. The biggest cost variance is still spec, not postcode.
Will you provide a fixed-price quote or estimate?
Fixed-price written quote — itemised across the lines above, with a 10% contingency you only pay if it's actually used. We've worked on The Street and surrounding Biddenden streets so we price from real local knowledge, not desktop assumptions.
What's the deposit and payment schedule?
10% on contract signing, then stage payments tied to milestones (slab down, weathertight, first fix, second fix, completion). Final 5% retained for 4 weeks post-handover.
Do you include VAT in quotes?
Yes — every Biddenden quote is VAT-inclusive. We're VAT-registered. Some listed-building work in Biddenden qualifies for reduced-rate VAT; we'll flag this if applicable.
