House Extensions
Why move when you can have a fabulous home extension?
Extending your current home could be the answer to all of your space-related problems. A roomy, brand new single-storey extension can be pretty much anything you want it to be. Once completed, we’re confident that you will love your old home more than ever. Pennine can build your home extension from scratch and amongst many things, turn it into a luxurious dining area, stunning lounge or home workspace. We’ll do so taking all the right and necessary steps.
As it’s very much your project, you get the final say on any windows, doors, walls and pillars added to the extension. You’re welcome to immense yourself in the assignment as much as Pennine promises to.
Stylish, affordable, simple.
Pennine has unrivalled experience locally for extensions...
Imagine how difficult it is trying to find a builder, architect, plumber, plasterer and installer you can trust. You also have to rely on them all to stick to your budget and meet your timescales.
It’s far simpler, and far less stressful, just giving Pennine responsibility for the entire project – a respected firm that won’t let you down.
Dream Big – Pretty much anything is achievable and you can see all of your big ideas brought to life via our state-of-the-art 3D software. Use of this technology enables you to see your extension like you never could have imagined.
Hassle Free – You won’t find the process any hassle at all. The boring stuff like organising planning permission and building regulations approval can be sorted by Pennine.
Huge Choice – You will find it difficult knowing where to start with your extension as we have so many possibilities in terms of roofing options (including traditional tile or slate and modern composite) and a fine selection of window and door styles.
Feel Involved – Creating a extension will feel as much of an accomplishment for you as it does for Pennine as you will be given licence to get involved.
Surprisingly Affordable – You can pay for the extension over a period of 5 to 15 years using one of our monthly payment plans.

You can do so much in terms of design...
There are certain limits to what you can do when designing an extension with most home improvement companies, but Pennine is different to any other firm.
You will be thrilled when you discover just how committed our consultants are to the project. They will see to all design considerations, technical details and any finishing touches you stipulate, without overstepping your budget.
A big-selling point is our 3D software. This sophisticated piece of technology lets you see and feel the extension before a single brick has been put down. You’re promised something that’s worth every penny of your investment.

Ask yourself certain questions before planning the extension...
Extensions have never been so popular. More and more householders are opting to expand their existing space, and it makes sense when you consider how inexpensive it is compared to relocating. So that you get an extension that fulfils your full set of criteria, think about the following questions:
- How much does an extension cost?
- Will I need planning permission for my extension?
- Building Regulations
- How to design an extension
- Building your extension
- Heating and electrics
If you do your homework properly, there is no doubt that you will be left with an extension that fits in with your home expertly.
You’re free to take the lead on the main aspects of the design. You can decide on the size, shape and windows and doors used within the extension.

Some extensions come under Permitted Development Rights and subsequently don’t require planning permission. An extension must meet these conditions to be a Permitted Development:
- The ground area covered by the extension and any other buildings within the boundary of the property, excluding the original house, is not more than half the total area of the property.
- Any part of the extension is not higher than the highest part of the roof of the existing house.
- The eaves of the extension are not higher than the eaves of the existing house.
- Any part of the extension does not extend beyond any wall facing a road if it forms the principal or side elevation of the original house.
- The eaves are no more than 3 metres in height if any part of the extension is within 2 metres of the property boundary.
- The materials used in exterior work, except in the case of a conservatory, are of similar appearance to the existing house.
- An upper floor window on a side elevation within 15 metres of a boundary with another house is obscure glazed; and is non – opening unless the parts which can be opened are more than 1.7 metres above the floor of the room in which the window is installed.
- A side extension does not exceed 4 metres in height or be wider than half the width of the original house.
- In a single storey extension
- the extension does not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house by more than 4 metres for a detached house or 3 metres for any other type of house;
- the height of the extension does not exceed 4 metres;
- no part of the extension is within 3.5 metres of any property boundary with a road opposite the rear wall of the house.
- In an extension with more than one storey
- the extension does not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house by more than 3 metres;
- no part of the extension is within 7 metres of the property boundary opposite the rear wall of the house;
- the roof pitch of the enlargement is as far as practicable the same as that of the original house.
- If you live in a house within a conservation area, World Heritage Site, area of outstanding natural beauty or National Park-
- no part of the exterior of the house is clad with stone, artificial stone, pebbledash, render, timber, plastic or tiles;
- the extension is not more than 1 storey or 4 metres in height;
- no part of the extension extends beyond a principal or side elevation of the original house.

We will find a great match...
Pennine has contacts with various brick merchants in the region which often helps us to a find a brick or stone that matches the brick or stone used in your house. It can still sometimes be difficult to find an exact match, but there is a solution to that problem. We can tint the brickwork so it matches, but this does incur an additional cost. It is also important for you to know that there will be weathering differences between existing bricks and new bricks.

The windows will be a big focal point...
Our window range has grown enormously and consists of a host of different window styles. We would suggest that you choose your window style based on how you want the window to both look and perform, that way you will definitely get the extension you want. To help you pick a window style that’s right for you, here’s a short description of four of our main window offerings:
Casement Windows – The casement window has existed for generations, and its popularity hasn’t dimmed one bit since it was first created. A classic window in every sense of the word, the design can be adjusted and turned into a tilt & turn window if you like that style.
Bay Windows – Because of the unique styling of a bay window, it adds so much depth to a home extension, which is ideal if you want to maximise floor space.
Vertical Sliding Windows – Our vertical sliding windows are modelled on a traditional vertical sliding window, only they’re manufactured using a UPVC or aluminium frame.
Envisage Flush Windows – A traditional timber flush casement window isn’t conceivable for a present-day extension. So, what we have done is develop the ‘Envisage’ range, a contemporary suite of flush casement windows that offer modern aesthetics and up-the-minute performance.
After selecting a window style, your next task is to choose a frame, colour and hardware option for the design. We have so many possibilities that there is absolutely no doubt that you will get a window design that turns your extension into something that you will desperate to show off to friends and family.

A 10 year guarantee tells you how good are home extensions are...
Though very affordable in comparison to moving house, investment into an extension is a significant expense. However, we can promise you that it will be money well spent and our 10 year guarantee proves that. We have absolutely no issue with supplying you with decade-long cover against any potential problems as we know we do everything we can to make them the best extensions you can buy.
And it’s not just our 10 year guarantee you need to be aware of. We also provide a 20 year guarantee as cover against any windows and doors included in the extension. It’s our insistence on using the finest materials and components for all of our window and door styles that gives us so much confidence in them. You should feel short-changed if forced to replace your windows and doors any sooner than that.
