Your Local Home Extension
Specialists in Romford
Buildaway extends properties throughout Romford and RM1, RM2, RM3, from Romford Market and South Street to the family houses bordering Romford Station on the Elizabeth line, managing structure and consent as one package.
Buildaway treats Romford extensions as a sequence: survey, drainage and consent, then structure, then finishes. Party wall notice is required on any semi-detached property here, and the notice periods are handled as part of the contract rather than left to you. For Romford owners near The Liberty shopping centre or Gidea Park, Buildaway covers the RM1 streets either side of Main Road on the same schedule.
Buildaway combines careful design with genuine workmanship on every Romford extension. From RM1 terraces to detached family homes, we deliver additions that feel part of the original house, backed by clear communication throughout the build.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about home extensions in Romford, answered.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
Usually yes for a single-storey rear extension, since the existing structure stays sealed until late in the programme. Buildaway phases the Romford work so the opening-up happens over the shortest practical period.
How long does a rear extension take to build?
A single-storey rear extension is generally ten to fourteen weeks on site once foundations start, depending on glazing lead times. Double-storey work runs longer. Buildaway separates the design and consent period from the build period on the programme so expectations are realistic.
Can you extend within Gidea Park Conservation Area?
Sometimes, but the tests are stricter and additions are assessed against the original dwelling rather than its current size. Buildaway will tell you honestly at survey stage whether a scheme is likely to succeed before you spend money on drawings.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Romford?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but that changes inside Gidea Park Conservation Area and Article 4 restrictions on frontage alterations, where allowances are materially tighter. Buildaway establishes which category your RM1 property falls into before drawing anything.
Do you handle drawings and building control?
Yes. Buildaway coordinates structural calculations, the building control application and inspections, and manages the party wall process where a neighbouring wall is affected, which is frequent on Romford semi-detached properties.
