Do I pay Discover Essex to contact a builder?▾

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Manningtree?▾

Should I pay a builder in stages?▾
Yes — never pay a Manningtree builder the full amount upfront. Standard practice is a 10–20% deposit, then staged payments tied to clear milestones (foundations complete, roof on, first fix, second fix, snagging). Hold back 5% for at least 4 weeks after completion.
How long does a typical Manningtree extension take?▾
A standard single-storey rear extension in Manningtree takes 12–16 weeks from breaking ground to handover. Loft conversions average 8–10 weeks. Add 4–8 weeks for planning approval beforehand if required.
