Whether you want a larger kitchen, another bedroom, a better-connected ground floor or a home built from the ground up, Prestige turns professionally prepared plans into well-managed construction. That covers house extensions, the structural alterations that open up an existing ground floor, specialist brickwork matched to the building it joins, and repointing where old mortar has failed. Based in Great Shelford, our team coordinates the agreed trades and keeps the important details — scope, costs, decisions and progress — clear from the first conversation to handover.

Carisbrooke Road – Two-Storey Side Extension

Large Cambridge home extension and refurbishment, documented from foundations and structural steelwork through roofing, plastering, underfloor heating and completed exterior elevations.
Use these practical guides to understand common approval routes, realistic budgets, and the information a clear building quotation should contain before work begins. If you are budgeting an extension, our extension cost calculator turns the figures from these guides into an itemised starting budget.
Planning Permission
Understand the application route, drawings, validation, consultation, decisions and conditions that may apply before construction.
Check what extensions, lofts and outbuildings you can build without a full planning application, and when a lawful development certificate is worth having.
Compare 2026 benchmarks by conversion type, check the head height that decides whether a loft works at all, and see what sits outside the builder’s price.
You will have a clear point of contact from the first conversation to handover. The agreed scope, costs, responsibilities and decisions are recorded in writing throughout.
Share the postcode, a short brief and any plans or photos you already have. We aim to respond to every enquiry within one working day with the most useful next step.

What our customers say
Selected feedback from customers who trusted Prestige with extensions and refurbishments.
House extension
★★★★★
From the initial quotation to the completed project, Daryl and Prestige were exemplary. All of the stages of construction of our house extension were performed professionally and to a high standard …
Extension & full refurbishment
★★★★★
Prestige completed an extension and complete house refurb for us and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The job was completed on time and to the agreed price to a brilliant standard.
Large extension
★★★★★
Daryl and his team undertook a large extension for me last year. From start to finish I knew exactly what was going on and Daryl is a fantastic project manager.
Tell us what you want to achieve, and send whatever you already have. Photos and drawings help, but they are not essential to start — plenty of projects begin with a description and a site visit.
