Covering Rushden
Site visits are available across Rushden (NN10). The same team covers Wellingborough (4 miles), Kettering (9 miles), Northampton (12 miles), Corby (15 miles), all within easy reach.
Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
Planning and approvals in Rushden
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
The planning position for a specific Rushden address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).

Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Common questions in Rushden
How long does a pitched roof extension take to build in Rushden?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Rushden?
Yes. We cover Rushden and the surrounding parts of Northamptonshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Rushden, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Is a pitched roof better than a flat roof?
Neither is better in all cases. Pitched roofs blend with traditional houses and shed water quickly; flat roofs give more headroom and suit modern designs and lanterns.
Can I have a vaulted ceiling?
Yes. A vaulted ceiling with roof windows is one of the main reasons to choose a pitched roof. It needs insulation between and under the rafters to meet the building regulations.
