What we take care of
- Planning application describing ancillary use
- Fire separation and alarms to building regulations
- Kitchenette, shower room and bedroom finish
- Separate or shared heating and hot water
Accessibility is cheaper to design in than to retrofit. Level access, a 900 mm door width, a level-access shower and space to turn a wheelchair can all be planned into the footprint for little extra cost.
Planning rules that apply in Hinckley
In England an annexe that stays part of the household and connects to the house is assessed as an extension, but its size usually takes it beyond permitted development, so a householder application describing the ancillary use is the normal route.
The planning position for a specific Hinckley address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Extensions in and around Hinckley
Site visits are available across Hinckley (LE10). We also work in nearby Earl Shilton (4 miles), Wigston (12 miles), Leicester (12 miles), Coalville (13 miles).
For homes towards Warwickshire, Nuneaton is around 4 miles away. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
We visit your Hinckley home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Common questions in Hinckley
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Hinckley, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Hinckley?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Hinckley?
Yes. We cover Hinckley and the surrounding parts of Leicestershire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does an annexe extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,900 to £3,610 per m² including VAT. A one-bedroom annexe of about 35 m² is typically £79,500 to £100,000 at standard spec in Hinckley.
Can the annexe have its own front door?
Yes, many do, but it should still connect to the main house to stay clearly part of it.
