Stone Built Extensions

At Stonehouse Restorations, we are experts in creating stone-built extensions, where we add new sections to existing structures using carefully selected stone. Our goal is to maintain the architectural coherence of your property while enhancing its durability. Each extension is designed to seamlessly blend with the original building, ensuring that the new addition looks like it has always been part of the structure. By using stone, we not only preserve the aesthetic appeal but also strengthen the overall longevity of your property, creating a timeless and resilient space for years to come.

Q&A

Do I need planning permission?

Yes, on most extensions you will need planning permission. We have a partnership with a highly recommended architect if you require one. They can support with designs and planning applications.

Can you match the original stonework on my home?

Yes. We use locally sourced stone and traditional lime mortar to create seamless extensions that honour your property’s original style and materials.

Are your extensions suitable for listed buildings?

Absolutely. We specialise in working with conservation officers and meeting the requirements for extensions on listed and heritage properties across South Devon.

Do you handle planning permissions?

While we don’t file applications, we work closely with architects and planners to ensure our work complies with local planning and heritage guidelines.
