Why house extensions work well in Hertford

Hertford blends historic period cottages and townhouses near the centre with generous Victorian villas and modern family homes on the edges, many with the plot space for extensions, garden rooms and full refurbishments. That makes Hertford a great place to extend into the garden or side return, and because we design and build in one team, your drawings are always buildable and your price is set early and honestly.

Planning and building control in Hertford

Hertford sits under East Herts Council. Many rear extensions are permitted development, though depth limits and conservation areas apply, and we handle the application either way. As a design and build team we prepare the drawings and manage the whole process for you, so there is one team accountable from first sketch to sign-off.
