Is this the job you need?
Moving costs stamp duty, fees and a new school run. An extension keeps the street, the neighbours and the garden, and adds the room you're short of.
Extension builders in Medway
Medway Council decides planning applications for Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham, and STG Building Control, based on Rochester High Street, inspects the work. Many single-storey rear extensions fall within permitted development; the council strongly encourages a Lawful Development Certificate to confirm it, which your builder or architect can apply for. Conservation areas and Article 4 streets in Gillingham Park, Brompton and Historic Rochester change the rules, so have your address checked before anything is drawn.
Medway is a terrace-and-semi area: in Gillingham South 85 per cent of homes were built before 1919. That means shared walls, so most extensions need Party Wall notices, and on Chatham's hillside terraces the levels and retaining walls are part of the design from the start.

How the job runs
01
Your builder measures up, talks through what you want and either works from your architect's drawings or arranges them. Planning or permitted development is checked for your address.
02
Ask for a price broken down by stage and a week-by-week programme, so you know what it costs and when it happens before work starts.
03
Footings, slab, walls, roof, glazing, first and second fix. Building control inspect at each stage; check the builder books every inspection.
04
A walk-round with the builder and a snag list cleared. Get the completion certificate and any warranties before you pay the final invoice.
