Here are the types of house extensions we provide:

Short-term goals expect accomplishment in a short period of time, such as trying to get a bill paid in the next few days.

Single-Storey Extensions

A new kitchen, dining area, or larger living room?

Ideal for homeowners looking to expand their ground floor living space, single-storey extensions can be perfect for adding such features as a new kitchen, dining area, or larger living room.

We work closely with you to create a design that enhances both the function and aesthetics of your home, making the most of available space while seamlessly blending with the existing structure.

Double-Storey Extensions

Double up on the increased space?

If you need more space on multiple levels, a two-storey extension offers up-to double the area, providing new rooms both upstairs and downstairs. Gain the benefit of a single-story extension, as above, but also expand a bedroom, add a home office, or increase bathroom space.

If your budget allows, it’s often more practical to opt for a double-storey extension upfront rather than starting with a single-storey and later deciding to expand. This approach saves you time, effort, and additional costs in the long run.

Rear Extensions

Open up into the outside?

A rear extension is a great option if you want to extend out into your garden or outdoor space.

Whether you’re looking to create a spacious kitchen-diner or simply open up your living area to the garden, our rear extensions maximise natural light and provide an excellent connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Side Return Extensions

Build into space that’s often underused?

If you live in a terraced or semi-detached property, you may have unused space along the side of your home. A side return extension can transform this narrow area into functional living space, often used to extend kitchens, create utility rooms, or add extra seating areas.

These are especially popular in urban areas where space is limited.

Wrap-Around Extensions

A complete transformation? Like having a new home

For those who want to create a truly expansive living space, a wrap-around extension combines both a side return and rear extension, offering you the opportunity to radically redesign your ground floor layout.

This type of extension is ideal for open-plan living, large kitchens, or family rooms that flow effortlessly into outdoor spaces.
