Single storey extensions across Long Stratton

Long Stratton is roughly 33 miles east of Brandon, right at the limit of our range. It is a longer trip than Diss and Wymondham, and we do make it, for a project that justifies the travel rather than for an hour's work.

Long Stratton falls under South Norfolk Council. That matters as soon as a project involves a structural alteration or anything outside the existing footprint, because the application and the inspections go through them. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

The house is the easy part here. Plots in Long Stratton run linear along the main road, with estate plots behind. Long Stratton is a fair distance out and is a large village rather than a town. None of that shows in a price list, which is why we come and look first. We price from the property, never from a template.

At roughly 33 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.

Long Stratton has period property along the old road with modern development set behind it. That decides the materials and proportions a new structure needs if it is going to look right next to the house.

Long Stratton is a fair distance out and is a large village rather than a town. For anything touching the ground or the footprint it can affect the foundations, the design or the consent route.

It depends on the size and position of the work and on the property, and the decision belongs to the council rather than to us. Listed buildings and conservation areas are where it is most worth checking early. In Long Stratton that means South Norfolk Council. If there is any doubt we would rather you check with them before work is booked than after.

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 33 miles from our base, putting the work into one programme also means one run of travel instead of several.
