— About This Service
Home Extension
Acute Homes designs and builds single- and multi-storey home extensions across Abingdon, Oxford and surrounding towns. We coordinate with architects and structural engineers, manage planning and building‑reg submissions, and deliver a precision finish - brickwork, structural steel, Velux rooflights and bi-fold doors installed to premium standards. Trusted accreditations and a clear project-management process keep disruption low and compliance audit-ready.
— Our Process
How It Works
Site Survey & Brief
On-site survey to record levels, drainage, access and existing construction; we agree the brief and identify planning or Party Wall requirements.
Design, Approvals & Coordination
We work with your architect and structural engineer to finalise drawings, submit planning/building regs and prepare technical details for foundations, lintels and steelwork.
Build, Fit-Out & Handover
Full project-managed build: groundworks, structural frame, insulation, mechanical and electrical, high-end finishes and snagging with final compliance documentation.
— Benefits
Why Choose Us?
Premium, meticulous finishes
Carpentry, brick matching, lead flashings and joinery finished to a high standard so your extension reads as an integral part of the house.
Accredited, compliant delivery
TrustMark, CHAS, SSIP and Velux certification mean building-regs, H&S and audit paperwork are handled professionally and kept on file.
Full project management
We coordinate architects, structural engineers and specialist trades, and issue RAMS and stage‑inspections to minimise delays and site disruption.
Single- and multi-storey extensions to increase living space, open up kitchens to dining and garden areas, or create separate ground-floor suites. Typical works include foundations and groundworks, load-bearing alterations with steels or RSJs, blockwork and brickwork to match existing elevations, insulated roof systems, Velux rooflights and bi-fold or sliding doors to create open-plan flow. We prepare details for building regulations, Party Wall awards where required, and acoustic or thermal upgrades for a comfortable, long-lasting result.
Project-managed from survey to snagging. Acute Homes liaises with your architect and structural engineer to produce technical drawings, coordinates specialist installers (kitchen fitters, underfloor heating, glazing) and issues all compliance documentation on completion. As TrustMark-approved builders, Which Trusted Trader members for 10+ years and Velux-certified installers, we operate across a 25-mile radius centred on Abingdon and Oxford, serving homeowners who expect a refined build process and a premium finish.
— FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but multi-storey works, changes to the front elevation or properties in conservation areas usually require planning permission. We review your property's status at the survey stage and advise whether a planning application is needed, and can coordinate submissions with your architect.
