House extensions in Harold Hill

Harold Hill sits in Havering, where the streets are dominated by 1930s suburban semis where a rear-and-side wraparound is the obvious move. The build that pays back most reliably here is a modest 3.5m rear extension under permitted development with rooflights over the island.

Typical all-in (inc VAT)
£91k–£141k

What we build in Harold Hill

Most Harold Hill projects we scope fall into three buckets: a side-return or rear infill that fixes a dark galley kitchen, a full-width rear extension that opens the ground floor to the garden, and a rear-plus-loft package that adds a bedroom while the scaffold is already up. 1930s semis and detached homes, Gidea Park's Arts & Crafts conservation area.

Planning permission in Harold Hill

Straightforward planning outside Gidea Park and Emerson Park conservation zones. PD pathway is well-trodden.

Before you assume permitted development applies to your street, check whether your street falls inside a conservation area or an Article 4 direction — both are common in Havering and both remove PD rights for rear and side extensions. Our London planning guide walks through the tests in order.

Party wall and neighbours

Semi and detached — often no party wall or a single notice.

Serve notice at least two months before you break ground. Budget £1,200–£2,400 per adjoining owner if they dissent and appoint their own surveyor — see the Party Wall Act guide.

Access, logistics and site set-up

Tight on-street parking means bay suspensions and timed deliveries — your builder should price this, not absorb it.

Every quote we issue for Harold Hill prices skip permits, parking suspensions, protection and welfare explicitly in the preliminaries — so the number you sign is the number you pay.
