House Extensions
Expanding your home is one of the best ways to gain additional space without moving. We design and build high-quality extensions that blend seamlessly with your existing property.

We offer a range of extension options including:

Dormer extensions
Each project is tailored to suit your property, lifestyle, and budget while maintaining structural integrity and visual harmony with your home.
Refurbishments
If your property feels outdated or no longer suits your needs, a refurbishment can completely transform it. We undertake full and partial home refurbishments, improving layouts, upgrading interiors, and modernising spaces to create comfortable and stylish living environments.
Our refurbishment services cover everything from structural work to finishing details, ensuring a seamless result.
Conversions
Conversions are a smart way to make better use of the space you already have. Our team specialises in converting underused areas into practical, attractive living spaces.
Common conversion projects include:
-
Loft conversions
-
Garage conversions
-
Internal layout conversions
We handle everything from structural alterations to joinery and finishing work.
Loft Conversions & Dormer Extensions
A loft conversion is an excellent way to add valuable living space to your home. Whether you’re looking for an additional bedroom, office, or relaxation area, we design loft conversions that maximise available space and natural light.
Dormer extensions are particularly popular, creating additional headroom and floor space while enhancing the exterior appearance of your home.
Garden Rooms & Garden Offices
Create a peaceful retreat or a productive workspace with a bespoke garden room or garden office. These standalone structures provide a comfortable space separate from your main home, ideal for working remotely, hobbies, or relaxing.
Our garden buildings are designed to be stylish, practical, and durable throughout the seasons.
Pool Rooms
We design and build custom pool rooms that create a luxurious space for relaxation and entertainment. Our team ensures the structure is built to accommodate ventilation, humidity control, and aesthetic appeal.
Annexes
Annexes are ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. We construct comfortable, self-contained annex spaces that provide privacy while remaining connected to the main property.
Orangeries
An orangery offers the perfect balance between a traditional extension and a conservatory. With solid structural elements and large glazed areas, orangeries provide a bright, elegant living space that can be used all year round.
Decking
Enhance your outdoor space with professionally installed decking. Whether you want a stylish area for entertaining or a relaxing place to enjoy your garden, our decking solutions are built using durable materials and expert craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a home extension?
Not all home extensions require planning permission. Many projects fall under permitted development rights, particularly smaller single storey extensions. However, larger extensions, side extensions, or properties in conservation areas may require approval from the local council. A professional building company can advise you on planning requirements and help guide you through the process if permission is needed.
How long does a typical home extension take to build?
The timeframe for a home extension depends on the size and complexity of the project. A single storey extension may take around 8–12 weeks, while larger or more complex extensions can take longer. The process also includes planning, design, approvals, and preparation before construction begins. Your builder should provide a clear timeline before work starts.
How much does a home extension cost?
The cost of a home extension varies depending on factors such as the size of the extension, materials used, structural requirements, and level of finish. As every project is different, it’s best to arrange a site visit and obtain a detailed quote from a reputable builder so you understand exactly what is included in the price.
What should I look for when choosing a building company?
When commissioning a building company, it’s important to look for:
-
Proven experience with similar projects
-
Positive customer reviews or recommendations
-
Clear and detailed quotations
-
Proper insurance and qualifications
-
Good communication and transparency
A trustworthy builder will also be happy to discuss your ideas, explain the process, and answer any questions before work begins.
Will I be able to live in my home during the extension work?
In many cases, homeowners can remain living in their property while an extension is being built. However, there may be periods of disruption, particularly during structural work or when connecting the new extension to the existing house. A professional builder will plan the project carefully and keep disruption to a minimum while keeping you informed throughout the process.
