House extensions in Burntwood

Working in Burntwood

Burntwood grew quickly from the 1960s onward, so most homes are post-war and modern semis and detached houses around Chase Terrace, Chasetown and Boney Hay, with Chasewater Country Park on the western edge of town.

The classic Burntwood project is a single-storey rear kitchen extension or a two-storey side extension on a post-war semi, often alongside a new roof or drive. Burntwood's estates have plenty of room for driveway widening and extensions, and the area's mining history means old workings are worth checking on some plots.

For Burntwood (WS7), planning applications are handled by Lichfield District Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is around nine miles from our yard.

How we work

We price from your drawings and specification, explain what is included and what is not, and give you a programme. During the build you deal with one contact who coordinates groundworks, brickwork, roofing, scaffolding and services.

Before work starts, your scheme needs the right approvals: planning permission or permitted development, Building Regulations approval and, where relevant, party wall agreements. We will tell you what is needed and work with your designer.
