Huntingdon extensions, built and fitted out by one team

At about 36 miles west of Brandon, Huntingdon is close to as far out as we go. It is a longer trip than Ely and March, and we do make it, for a project that justifies the travel rather than for an hour's work.

Huntingdon falls under Huntingdonshire District Council. They are who the application goes to and who signs the work off, so it is worth knowing before a design is fixed. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

Before anything else we look at what the ground will take. Postwar estate plots dominate Huntingdon. Huntingdon is far enough out that only larger projects make sense for us. It is the difference between a job that runs to plan and one that needs scribing to every surface. We price from the property, never from a template.

At roughly 36 miles it is outside our core area, so it depends on the size of the job. For a full extension the travel is usually worth it for both of us. For a small one day job it honestly is not, and we would rather tell you that than quote a price that reflects the driving.

Huntingdon has a Georgian market town centre on the Great Ouse, ringed by extensive postwar and modern development. That decides the materials and proportions a new structure needs if it is going to look right next to the house.

Huntingdon is far enough out that only larger projects make sense for us. On a building project that is exactly the sort of factor that shapes the foundation design and the planning conversation.

We cannot answer that for you, because the council decides it case by case. We build to whatever is approved, and we would rather the question is settled before a design is fixed than after. For a property in Huntingdon the authority that decides is Huntingdonshire District Council, and we will tell you plainly what we think before you contact them.

Yes. The nearest other towns on our list to Huntingdon are Ely, March, Soham, Royston and Newmarket, and the villages in between are covered as well. Each of those has its own page for extension work, linked further down this page.

Yes. It most often runs alongside first fix carpentry, kitchen fitting and renovation work, and because one team does the carpentry throughout there is no gap between trades. At about 36 miles from our base, putting the work into one programme also means one run of travel instead of several.

Call 07539 278705 or send the enquiry form with a line about the job. At roughly 36 miles away we will talk the job through by phone first, so neither of us makes a wasted trip. The quote costs nothing.
