House extensions in Cannock

Working in Cannock

Cannock grew as a mining town, so much of its housing is inter-war and post-war semis and short terraces, with newer estates at Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Huntington and plenty of commercial units along the A5 and the M6 Toll corridor.

The classic Cannock 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. Cannock's mining history means old workings can be a consideration on some plots, so checking the Coal Authority records before designing foundations is sensible.

For Cannock (WS11 and WS12), planning applications are handled by Cannock Chase 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 a straightforward run across Cannock Chase on the A460.

How we work

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.

We design for lower running costs too, with good insulation and the option of heat pumps, solar PV and battery storage through Margav Energy, so the extension is comfortable and efficient as well as spacious.
