Brick house with a single-storey rear extension
Home  /  Our Services  /  House Extensions

House extensions

The kitchen, living space or extra bedroom you need, without moving. We design the extension and prepare the planning and building regulations drawings.

house extensions

More room, in the house you already have.

We look at what your plot allows, design an extension that suits the existing house, and draw it up for approval.

Every extension starts with the same questions: what can be built here, what will the council accept, and what will it cost to build. We answer the first two and give you the drawings to find out the third.

You get one set of plans that takes the project from first idea through planning and building regulations, so every builder you ask is pricing exactly the same job.

What you get

We aim to reply within one working day.

what we design

Extensions of every shape and size.

Rear extensions

Single and double-storey, from a modest kitchen extension to a full-width addition.

Side return and wrap-around

Use the passage down the side of the house, or wrap around the back for a bigger room.

Kitchen and open-plan living

Kitchen, dining and living space in one room, laid out around how you cook and eat.

Garage conversions

Turn an attached garage into a room you use every day.

Porches and front extensions

A bigger hall, a new entrance or more room at the front of the house.

Planning and building regs together

Both sets of drawings as one package, so nothing has to be redrawn between stages.

how we design

Designed around how you live.

A good extension is more than extra floor area. We think about how you will use the room day to day, and we keep the build cost in view while we draw.

how it works

Three steps to an approved design.

01

Talk it through

We visit, look at the house and talk about what you need, your budget and when you want to build.

02

Design options

We sketch the options, you choose, and we develop the best one until it is right.

03

Approvals

We prepare and submit the planning and building regulations drawings.

questions

What people ask about extensions.

Do I need planning permission?

Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. Double-storey and side extensions usually need planning permission. We confirm which applies once we have seen the property.

We don’t set building prices, but detailed drawings mean builders can give you accurate quotes, and you can compare them like for like.

The Party Wall Act may apply if you are building on or near a shared wall, or digging close to a neighbour’s foundations. It is worth talking to them early.

We can suggest builders we have worked with, but you are free to use anyone you like.
