How much does a home extension cost in Dover?

Homeowners in Dover usually spend in the region of £23,000–£80,500 on a home extension. South East costs typically run above the UK average — Kent labour and materials are a real factor. The biggest cost drivers are single vs double storey and floor area, foundations and structural work, and planning, glazing and finish quality.
