How much does a home extension cost in Barnstaple?

Homeowners in Barnstaple usually spend in the region of £20,000–£70,000 on a home extension. South West costs are broadly around the national average — Devon labour and materials are a real factor. Price comes down to single vs double storey and floor area, foundations and structural work and planning, glazing and finish quality more than anything else. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.
