What are the current build projects trends in East Hertfordshire & North Essex? 

Homeowners through East Herts and North Essex are swift to move to the latest in property trends and in the last couple of years, extensions and room additions have proved popular. Extra space for home offices remains a priority amongst many as coronavirus restrictions continue as well as adding on extra bedrooms to homes to increase both living space and value.

How much does a build project cost?

Generally speaking, single storey extensions cost between £1,200 - £2,000 per square metre to build before interior design and furnishing is taken into account. However, prices will rise depending on the materials used and the scope of the task at hand. For an accurate quote, contact a Refresh Consultant and arrange for a home visit.

Why choose Refresh for a build project?

Rather than hiring in a team of builders, having them complete a task and then hiring in different people to do the rest of the job, Refresh manages all roles and details throughout the entirety of the project period. This leaves the homeowners free to continue with their lives with the least possible disruption but the best possible result.

Will I need planning permission for my build project? 

While some residential building works can be carried out under Permitted Development Rights (PDRs), there are instances where proper planning permission will be needed.
