Extensions

A good extension can add significant value to your property!

Before embarking on any form of extension to your property speak to your neighbours. There are two main reasons for this: ensuring that disagreements do not occur between you and your neighbours with regards loss of light etc, and also to ensure that your neighbours are agreeable to any access that may be required via their property during the building works.

Gillott Building Contractors Ltd. are committed to ensuring that any new extension work blends seamlessly into your existing building. Careful consideration is always taken to ensure that the materials used match, where possible and we have worked on buildings as old as 1614. However, matching materials is not always possible, especially on older properties and we can advise on processes like brick/stone tinting to achieve the perfect match.

If your planned extension does require planning permission, your neighbours will be informed by the council, and therefore it is advisable to give them prior notice. Follow the links below to the local planning offices in the South Yorkshire area for more information:
