Why an extension

The version that becomes part of the house

Where a conservatory adds a room beside the house, an extension adds one to it. Structurally, thermally and legally it is the real thing.

Insulated cavity walls, a proper roof and floor build-up, and a knock-through into the existing rooms so the space flows rather than being somewhere you go through a door to reach.

It costs more and takes longer than any other route. What you get is floor area that counts as part of the house on a survey, and a room indistinguishable from the ones it joins.

  • Insulated cavity walls built to current standards
  • Tiled or flat roof to match the existing house
  • Structural openings and beams into the existing rooms
  • Plastering, electrics and making good included

Benefits

What an extension gives you

  • Genuinely part of the house

    Same walls, same roof, same standards — not a room bolted onto the back.

  • Open plan if you want it

    A structural opening lets the new room and the old one work as one space.

  • Warm as the rest of the house

    Insulated floor, walls and roof built to current building regulations.

  • One team, footings to finish

    Groundworks, masonry, roofing, glazing and plastering by us.

  • Signed off properly

    Building control involved from the start, with the certificate at the end.

  • Adds value

    Well-built extra floor area is one of the few improvements that pays back on sale.

Worth knowing

What decides the price before we start

Two things move the number more than the size of the room: what is in the ground, and what is over the opening.

Ground conditions, drain runs and the depth the footings have to go set the cost of everything below floor level, and none of it is visible until you dig. We check what we can at survey and tell you where the risk sits.

Above, the width of the opening into the existing house decides the size of the steel. A wider opening is a better room and a bigger beam. Both get priced properly rather than guessed.

Ask us a question

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but there are limits on depth, height, boundary distance and how much of the garden you cover. Listed buildings and conservation areas have their own rules. We check yours before quoting.

Does it need building regulations approval?

Always. Foundations, insulation, structure, drainage and electrics all have to be signed off. We handle the application and the inspections as part of the job.

How long does an extension take?

Longer than any other room we build — typically several weeks to a few months depending on size, groundworks and how the building control inspections fall. You get a realistic schedule with the quote.

Can you knock through into the existing house?

Yes, and it is usually the point. That means a structural beam sized by a calculation and signed off, which we arrange as part of the job.

Do you do the whole job or just the shell?

The whole job — groundworks, masonry, roof, glazing, plastering, electrics and making good. It is one team and one number rather than coordinating three trades yourself.
