Do you need extra space in your home? Then a home extension will create just that and typically saves all the hassles surrounding moving to try and achieve the same goal!
Whether it’s a single story extension for a stylish open plan kitchen or a two story extension with multiple added rooms; JMP has the experience and knowhow to complete your new home extension swiftly and as cost effectively as possible.
A dormer roof can make even greater use of the available area by creating a space with more usable headroom. However, these generally do push a loft conversion in to one that requires full planning permission.
If you can supply JMP with a full set of completed architectural plans then their team can provide you with a full quantity-surveyed estimate. In addition, a FREE foundation trial hole inspection can be arranged to check existing foundations, subject to terms and conditions.
Older garages are often too narrow to use for modern cars and end up being an incredible waste of space. Converting your garage into a new useable space for your home is a great way to maximise its use. A new games room for the kids, a home office/study or even a home gym are all great options.
Some garage conversions can be completed under permitted development, but JMP recommend obtaining full planning permission for your peace of mind. All construction work needs to comply with the latest building regulations and fire safety. Garage conversions are often thought of as a possible DIY job, but that’s just not the case. A basic conversion can generally be done without the use of an architect. However, JMP strongly encourage the use of one. “Do it once, do it right”, is their motto!
Think about your next buyer and selling your home, even if it’s years later. Without the correct certificates in place your planed conversion could be worthless, this applies to loft conversions too.
The most common certificates required for a garage or loft conversion are the following.
Template Party Wall Agreement’s are available from JMP, which cover the basic protections required without the need for additional and expensive solicitor costs.
However, JMP always recommend seeking legal advice with any project and especially those that require heavy demolition or construction work. This gives a client true peace of mind with their project.
Subject to a “project in principle” agreement, JMP offer free Foundation Trial Hole inspections to confirm the suitability of your property’s foundations for any proposed extension. This ensures that one of the most costly parts of any home extension is costed appropriately avoiding any of those hidden surprises.
