Home Extensions
We design and build extensions that blend seamlessly with your existing property, creating practical and stylish new living areas that enhance your home’s value.

Whitwick lies just north of Coalville on the edge of the National Forest, and it is well within the area Measom Building Services Ltd has covered since 1998.
The village runs from old stone and brick cottages near the centre out to substantial postwar and modern housing. What is practical varies a good deal between the two, which is why we would rather look at the property than quote from a description.
We are based in Woodville and accredited by the Federation of Master Builders. Every project is managed by the same team from the first consultation through to the final finish, so you always know who is on site and who to call.

The full range is available in Whitwick and the surrounding villages. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation consultation.

Local Know-How
Planning & Building Regulations in Whitwick
Whitwick sits in the North West Leicestershire district, so planning applications and building control for homes here are handled by North West Leicestershire District Council. Whitwick Parish Council is consulted on applications but the decision rests with the district.
Not every project needs planning permission — many single storey extensions fall under permitted development — but almost all structural work needs building regulations approval regardless. We take you through both and work with Building Control at each inspection stage rather than leaving you to chase it.

FAQs
Whitwick — Common Questions
Is Whitwick in a conservation area?
No. Whitwick is not among the 28 conservation areas in the North West Leicestershire district, so those particular restrictions do not apply. Individual properties can still be listed or covered by other constraints, which is worth confirming with the council before you finalise a design.
Who handles planning applications for Whitwick?
North West Leicestershire District Council. Whitwick Parish Council is consulted on applications affecting the village and its comments are considered, but the district council makes the decision.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Whitwick?
Often not. Size, height and position determine it, along with whether the property is listed. Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. We will give you our read at the free consultation, before you spend anything on drawings.
Do I still need building regulations approval if I do not need planning permission?
Almost always, yes. The two are separate. Planning is about whether the work suits its surroundings; building regulations are about how it is built — structure, insulation, fire safety, drainage and ventilation. Most structural work needs approval even under permitted development.
How long will an extension take?
It depends on the size of the build, the ground conditions and whether a planning application is needed first, which adds time before anything starts on site. Building Control also inspects at set stages. We give you a realistic programme up front rather than an optimistic one.
How do I get a quote for work in Whitwick?
Get in touch and we will arrange a free consultation at your property, talk through what you want to achieve and give honest guidance on cost and timescales before you commit to anything.
