Our Most Popular House Extension Styles
Side-Return Extensions
Our side-return extensions maximise space by utilising the area at the side of a property. Popular in urban areas, they enhance natural light and expand interiors without compromising the garden. These extensions often feature modern design elements like the latest kitchen layouts, increasing aesthetic appeal and property value.
Rear-Facing Extensions
Rear-facing extensions expand a home into the patio and garden, providing additional living space towards the back of the property. They enhance indoor-outdoor flow, promote open-plan living, and increase natural light. Commonly used for kitchens, living rooms, or dining areas, they blend functionality with design, making homes more versatile and spacious.
Wraparound Extensions
These combine side and rear house extensions, creating an ample, continuous space that maximises the use of available land. They are also ideal for open-plan living and enhance natural light and connectivity within the home. Our wraparound extensions significantly boost property value and transform the layout, offering versatile and expansive living areas.
Double-Storey Extensions
Double-storey extensions add significant space by expanding both the ground and upper floors. Ideal for growing families, they can accommodate additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas. They also enhance the property’s functionality and value while maintaining garden space, and are a cost-effective solution for substantial home improvement.
Porch Extensions
Porch extensions provide a welcoming entrance to your home, improving kerb appeal and offering practical space for storage or seating. They can be designed to complement the existing façade and add character while enhancing security and energy efficiency.
Garage Over Extensions
Garage over extensions make use of unused space above your garage to create new rooms such as an office, bedroom, or ensuite. This approach increases living space without altering your footprint and offers a cost-effective way to add significant value to your property.
Kitchen Extensions
Kitchen extensions focus on creating a larger, brighter, and more functional cooking and dining area. They are ideal for open-plan designs and can include features such as skylights, bi-fold doors, and modern layouts to improve flow and family living.

FAQs – House Extensions
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Not always. Single-storey rear-facing or side-return extensions often fall under permitted development. We’ll assess your plans and assist with any required applications.
How long does a house extension take?
A typical single-storey extension takes 8–12 weeks to build. Larger or double-storey projects can take longer. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed schedule.
Will I need to move out during the build?
Most clients stay in their homes during construction. We take steps to reduce disruption and keep your home safe and clean throughout.
Do you help with layout and design?
Yes. We can work with your architect or recommend trusted professionals. We also advise on layout options, materials and finishes to ensure your extension is practical and beautifully finished.
