Builders & Extensions in Slough: what to check and how to get an accurate quote
Practical local guidance across the SL postcodes, from Slough to Windsor and Maidenhead — accreditations worth checking, Slough Borough Council and landlord rules, and the details that let a local firm price the job first time.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Slough?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but limits on depth, height and how much of the garden you cover apply, and they are tighter for flats, maisonettes and homes in a conservation area. Slough Borough Council operates a pre-application advice service, and your builder should be able to tell you whether you need full permission, a lawful development certificate, or only building regulations sign-off.
What information makes a building quote accurate?
Rough dimensions, photos of the space from two angles, whether you want the same footprint or a bigger one, and your must-haves versus nice-to-haves. Say whether you already have drawings or a structural engineer's calculations — a builder pricing from measured drawings can commit to a firm figure, while a builder pricing from a conversation can only give a range.
How do I check a builder is properly covered?
Ask for public liability insurance, and for larger jobs check membership of a scheme such as the Federation of Master Builders or TrustMark, which require references and financial checks. If the work is structural, confirm who is issuing the building regulations completion certificate — you will need it when you sell.
Who deals with the waste from my build?
You have a legal duty of care for waste leaving your property. Your builder should be a registered waste carrier or use one, and should give you a waste transfer note. Slough has an active fly-tipping enforcement team, and if your rubble turns up on a verge the trail leads back to the householder who paid for it.
