Home Extensions in Wellingborough

Home Extensions in Wellingborough — Extra Space, Built Properly

If your home in Wellingborough has run out of room, an extension is one of the most practical ways to fix that. Whether you need a larger kitchen, a dedicated workspace, an additional reception room, or a ground-floor bathroom, a well-built single-storey extension adds usable space and real value to your property — without the upheaval of moving house.

Link Construction & Landscaping builds home extensions across Wellingborough and the wider North Northamptonshire area. We handle every stage in-house: site survey, groundworks, foundations, brickwork, structure, roofing, and finishes. One team, one point of contact, one contractor responsible for the outcome.

What We Build

We specialise in single-storey residential extensions, including:

• Rear extensions — the most common type in Wellingborough, typically used to extend a kitchen, dining area, or living space into the back garden
• Side extensions — making use of side passages or plots to add a utility room, WC, or wider ground-floor layout
• Wraparound extensions — combining rear and side work for a more significant footprint increase
• Garden room-style extensions — glazed or open-plan spaces that bring light into the home and connect interior living space with the garden

If your project involves a sloped site, awkward drainage, or complex foundations, our in-house Groundworks team has the experience to handle it. We don't subcontract ground preparation — it stays under our direct control from day one.

Planning Permission and Building Regulations in Wellingborough

Wellingborough falls under North Northamptonshire Council, which handles both planning applications and building control for the town. Many single-storey rear extensions fall within Permitted Development rights and don't require a full planning application, but this depends on the size, height, and location of the build — and on whether your property is in a conservation area or subject to any restrictions.

Building regulations approval is always required for a home extension, covering structural standards, thermal performance, drainage, and fire safety. We'll talk you through what's needed at the site survey stage so there are no surprises. You can also read the official guidance on extensions on the Planning Portal extensions page before we meet.

Why Wellingborough Homeowners Choose Link Construction

A home extension is a significant investment. The difference between a project that runs smoothly and one that doesn't usually comes down to who's coordinating the groundworks, the brickwork, and the structural elements — and whether they're all working from the same plan.

Because we handle groundworks in-house alongside the main build, there's no hand-off between separate contractors at the foundation stage. Excavation, drainage, and footings are done by our own team, and the build continues from there without the delays that come from coordinating multiple trades.

We're a local team. We've worked across Wellingborough, Northampton, Kettering, and the surrounding towns, and we understand what works for the housing stock in this part of Northamptonshire — from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and modern estates. Our approach is straightforward: turn up on time, do the work properly, and hand over a finished job you're happy with.

What's Included in a Link Construction Extension

• Free site survey and detailed written quote
• Planning and building regulations guidance
• Full in-house groundworks — excavation, drainage, and foundations

Finishing the Project

Once the main extension is built, many homeowners in Wellingborough take the opportunity to improve the surrounding outdoor space too. If the build has disrupted your patio, rear garden, or side access, we can restore and upgrade those areas as part of the same project — through our Paving Services or a broader garden redesign. It makes sense to finish everything in one go rather than returning to the site later.

Wellingborough Home Extensions — The Practical Details

Most single-storey extensions in Wellingborough take between 8 and 14 weeks from groundworks starting to practical completion. Costs typically range from £20,000 for a smaller straightforward rear extension through to £60,000 or more for larger or more complex builds. Every project is different, which is why we visit the site before quoting — a number given over the phone without seeing the property isn't worth much.

We provide a free, no-obligation site visit and a detailed written quote that sets out exactly what's included. No vague estimates, no hidden costs added later.
