Quick answers

Straight answers to the questions we hear most before a project starts. Can’t find yours? Call us and we’ll answer it there and then.

Before you start

Are your quotes free?

Yes. We visit your home, talk through what you want and send a clear, itemised written quote. There's no charge and no obligation.

Which areas do you cover?

Southampton, Romsey, Eastleigh, Winchester and the New Forest. If you're nearby but not on the list, give us a call.

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

It depends on the size, type and location. Many single-storey extensions fall under permitted development, but homes in conservation areas or with restrictions are treated differently. Building Regulations approval is separate and needed for most extensions. We'll help you work out what applies to your project.

Can you work from my architect's drawings?

Yes. We're happy to work from your existing drawings or alongside your architect. If you don't have drawings yet, we can talk you through the options.

How soon could you start?

Add your typical lead time We'll give you a realistic start date with your quote.

During the build

How long will my project take?

It depends on the size and complexity, so we won't guess before we've seen it. Your quote includes a realistic programme, and we'll tell you early if anything is likely to affect it.

Can I stay at home while you work?

For most extensions, yes. We'll explain in advance which days will be noisy or dusty, and how we'll protect the rest of the house.

How will you keep me updated?

You'll have one point of contact and regular progress updates, and you can call us with questions at any time.

What if I want to change something once work has started?

That's fine. We'll explain what the change involves and agree any effect on price and timing with you before we go ahead. Every change is recorded on a signed variation form, so it's clear what's been agreed. That protects both you and us.

Cost and cover

Are you insured?

Yes. Maidanbuild Homes Limited carries £10 million public liability insurance. We're happy to show you the certificate.

How do payments work?

With your quote, you'll receive a work schedule and a payment schedule, explaining which stage payments are due and when. We'll talk you through both before you sign anything.

Do you guarantee your work?

Add your guarantee or warranty details
