More room without moving: extensions in Diss

At about 25 miles east of Brandon, Diss is comfortably within the area we cover. We also work in Attleborough, Long Stratton, Thetford and the villages between them, so this part of Norfolk is well inside the area we cover.

Diss falls under South Norfolk Council. That matters as soon as a project involves a structural alteration or anything outside the existing footprint, because the application and the inspections go through them. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

For extension work the site matters more than the house. Plots in the centre of Diss are irregular and often tight. Timber framed and older property here is slow, careful work and is priced that way. Two houses on the same street can differ on this, so a number quoted down the phone is a guess. We price from the property, never from a template.

Listed buildings and conservation areas are where it is most worth checking early. The council to ask in Diss is South Norfolk Council, and we can point you at the right department once we have seen the job.
