Why choose Harpers for Home Extensions

Planning and Costs Made Clear

Simple guidance on permissions, agreements and budgets before you build.

Planning Permission for Extensions

If your design exceeds PD or you are in a conservation area, planning may be required. We advise early, coordinate submissions and respond to comments so decisions are straightforward.

Party Wall Agreements

Work near shared boundaries can trigger the Party Wall process. We help you understand notices, timings and surveyor roles so neighbours stay informed and the build can proceed smoothly.

Build Over Agreement - Thames Water

Building near or over a public sewer usually needs approval. We arrange CCTV checks and drawings, then liaise with Thames Water so your agreement is in place before groundworks start.
