Our Approach to House Extension

Initial Discussion and Survey

Do you want a home extension but need clarification about how to get started? No worries. Our customer service team can always guide you and resolve your complications. We start our procedure by giving you a free consultation session and a site survey to understand your vision better. We listen to your demands and worries and try not to confuse you. We prefer to keep things transparent from the beginning to avoid any misunderstandings.

Design & Planning

After explaining the whole process, we will move to the designing phase. We will present a 3D walkthrough model of your project to make it more transparent and more understandable. By looking at the design, you can perceive the outcome correctly. When you approve the design, our planning team will briefly explain the procedure, including resource allocation, cost, and legal requirements. Our in-house team will get the Planning permission and Building Regulations from the council if required to ensure the smooth completion of your house extension in London.

Final Consultation and Contract Signing

If you have no issues with the design and planning, we will move toward contact signing and final consultation, during which we will briefly explain the project cost. There is no need to worry about finances, as we have a very flexible payment policy and won’t ask you to pay at once. The reason behind our customers’ valuable trust is our transparency in the project from the start.

Construction

We start construction after ensuring your 100% satisfaction. We will arrange a meeting between you and our potential house extension builders, and whoever you select for your project will be in charge of construction. Our inspection officer will usually visit the site to ensure the high quality of the procedure. Our team will provide you with a daily progress report to ensure the worth of your money and time. Now relax and look toward your ideal house makeover.

Project Handover

After the final inspection and verifying the high-end maintenance, we will give you a house tour to ensure your satisfaction. Even at this stage, if you want to make some changes, our team will consider the possibility and implement the changes without disturbing the predetermined sum. Our partnership will not end after the completion of the project as we are well known for providing our customers with post construction services and resolving any error or complication regarding the project.

Our House Extension Solutions

Rear Extensions

Rear extensions are additions to a house that usually extends from the back wall into the backyard or garden. This type of house extension in London is common since it increases living space without impacting the front or sides of the property. You can create more space if you join it with the sides or wraparound.  Rear extensions can be used for various purposes, such as enlarging the kitchen, adding a dining area, establishing a home office, or even adding more bathrooms or bedrooms.

Side Extensions

A side home extension is an addition built on the side of a property, typically in the space between the side of the house and the property’s boundary. In confined urban areas, side extensions are a popular way to increase the living area without sacrificing backyard or garden space. Side extensions include single-story, double-story, side-return extensions, and popular house extensions.

Wrap-around Extensions

The wrap-around extension is a type of addition to a house that combines a side and rear expansion to create a large, L-shaped area around the corner of the property. This design maximises the space available, typically extending to the back and side alleys of the house. The layout and usability of a home can be significantly improved by wrap-around expansions, which are perfect for building living spaces like large dining rooms, kitchens, or additional living areas. It allows homeowners to significantly increase their living rooms while boosting the property’s overall value. This extension is helpful in urban cities where space is at a premium.

Single-Storey Extensions

A single-story house expansion is an addition to an existing home that adds more excellent living space on one level without adding a second storey. This type of expansion is often used to extend ground-floor living spaces like kitchens, living rooms, and dining rooms or even to add more bedrooms or bathrooms. It is combined with a rear, side, or wrap-around extension. Single-story house additions increase your property’s value and make it more comfortable and livable.

Double-Storey Extensions

A double-storey extension is a carefully constructed addition that increases a house’s ground and upper levels. This improvement dramatically increases the property’s value. If you decide to move in the future, when you’re willing to downsize, adding a two-story extension will let you sell your house for its full value. Following instructions for planning, choosing the best house extension builders and using functional design elements are essential to achieving the best results and smoothly combining the extension with the existing structure.

FAQ's

What is planning permission?

Planning Permission is approval obtained from a local planning authority. Any construction or extension that harms the environment or neighbouring areas requires planning permission. It ensures that the extensions or any developments are compatible with the surrounding areas and observe legal standards.

Is planning permission required for my house extension in London?

Planning Permission might be required based on factors such as the size of the extension, style, and location. If your house needs minimal modifications, there will be no need for planning permission, and you can build under “Permitted Development Rights,” which allows several types of extensions.

How much does a house expansion cost in London?

The cost of an extension depends upon the location, materials, design, and size of the house. The average price of a house expansion in the UK is around £1,500 and £3,000 per square meter. The cost might rise with the complexity of the design. It’s a good idea to get a complete briefing from builders, in addition to extra expenses like design and planning fees.
