Home Extensions in Winchcombe
Homes in Winchcombe
If your house is listed, an extension needs listed building consent, and permitted development rights are more limited in conservation areas. That makes your property's status worth confirming before design work goes far. Where a house is not listed and is outside a conservation area, a rear extension at single-storey height may come under permitted development within size limits. The new part must satisfy the Building Regulations on structure, foundations, drainage and insulation, which building control checks. The photo shows sage-green fitted cabinetry beside a timber door and dining table from our own finished work. The reviewer beside it praised the way material orders were handled and the work was coordinated with the other tradesmen on site.

“I have recently used Alpha Renovations Ltd to carry out work on our behalf at the new Cotswold Designer Outlet, just off junction 9 of the M5. From the very start Rousit was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the job. Throughout the building process he handled all of the material orders and was able to complete a variety of skill sets from laying ceramic tiles, spray painting, plumbing and joinery work, all to an extremely high standard. He also liaised with the other tradesmen we had onsite, such as electricians and HVAC contractors. As with all jobs, there are always curve balls thrown in at the last minute. Rousit was very flexible with these and the end outcome was amazing! I was extremely happy with the work carried out and hired their services again to help us fit out another store down at Clarks Village, Street. I would definitely recommend Alpha Renovations Ltd for any building work, whether it be domestic or commercial.”
What matters for home extensions in Winchcombe
An extension can be planned alongside a kitchen renovation, bathroom refurbishment or other work to the house. We undertake and manage the trades involved, so the whole project is discussed with us. Tell us how you use the property and where you need more space; we will talk through your plans and prepare a free quote for the work agreed.
- Check the listing of your house early, as a listed property needs listed building consent.
- Explain how the house is used and where more room would help.
- Raise any bathroom or kitchen plans now, so the extension and those rooms can be managed as a combined project.
- Building control checks the structure and foundations, plus insulation and drainage.
Questions about home extensions in Winchcombe
Our cottage is timber-framed and listed. What consent will an extension need?
Listed building consent, as it applies to work on any listed building. Many of Winchcombe's stone and timber-framed houses are listed, so confirm your property's status early on.
Can a bathroom refit be part of the same project?
Yes. Bathrooms, kitchens and refurbishment work can sit alongside an extension, and we manage the trades involved across all of it.
