House Extensions

As North London builders offering house extensions, we provide a range of options to suit your needs:

  • Single-Storey Extensions: Single-storey extensions involve expanding the living space on the ground floor of a house. This can include adding extra rooms, extending the kitchen, or creating a larger living area, providing more space without the need for an additional floor.
  • Double-Storey Extensions: Double-storey extensions encompass expansion on both the ground and upper floors. This type of extension is ideal for those looking to add extra bedrooms, create an expanded living space, or accommodate a growing family without the need for moving to a new property.
  • Wrap-around Extensions: Wrap-around extensions are designed to maximise available space by combining both rear and side return extensions. This creates an L-shaped space that wraps around the home, offering additional living area on two sides. 
  • Rear Extensions: Rear extensions involve expanding the back of the house to create additional living space. This type of extension is versatile, allowing for the expansion of existing rooms or the addition of entirely new spaces such as a larger kitchen or a spacious living area with enhanced access to the garden.

Building Materials

We can use a diverse range of high-quality building materials for house extensions, ensuring each project meets the highest standards of durability and aesthetics. These include:

  • Flooring Materials: Hardwood, laminate, tile, vinyl, or carpet, depending on the desired aesthetic and function of the space.
  • Wall Finishes: Paint, wallpaper, textured finishes, or paneling to enhance the visual appeal of interior walls.
  • Kitchen Countertops: Granite, quartz, marble, or laminate countertops, providing durability and aesthetic options for kitchen spaces.
  • Cabinetry: Wooden, laminate, or metal cabinets, offering storage solutions in kitchens, bathrooms, and other living spaces.
  • Lighting Fixtures: Pendant lights, chandeliers, sconces, or recessed lighting made from various materials to illuminate and enhance the ambiance of different rooms.

Our team of experienced professionals collaborates closely with you to choose the materials that best match your vision, budget, and desired level of finish, ensuring your house extension is not only visually appealing but also built to last. 

Timeline For A House Extension

Windows and Doors (2-4 weeks):

  • Ensuring proper insulation and weatherproofing

Utilities and Services (4-8 weeks):

  • Extending plumbing, electrical, and heating systems
  • Installing new utilities for the extension

We recognise the importance of timely project completion and strive to deliver exceptional results within the agreed-upon timeframe.

How Much Does A House Extension Cost?

The cost of a house extension can vary widely based on several factors, including the size and complexity of the extension, the location, the quality of materials used, and labour costs.

Additionally, planning permission, design specifications, and any site-specific challenges can impact the overall cost.

We understand that each client’s needs and budget are unique, and we work closely with you to provide a detailed estimate.

Our commitment is to offer transparent and competitive pricing, ensuring that house extension can be customised to meet your budget requirements.

Energy Efficiency

We make energy efficiency a top priority in every house extension project.

We understand the importance of making your home extension energy-efficient, and our expertise is in recommending and installing modern, energy-saving materials.

We provide various energy efficient options such as LED lighting, advanced insulation materials, high-efficiency windows and doors, and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.

By seamlessly incorporating energy-efficient solutions into your house extension, our goal is to increase comfort, cut long-term utility costs, and lessen the environmental impact.

Our commitment to energy efficiency ensures that your extended living space not only meets your lifestyle needs but also aligns with modern sustainability standards.

Planning Permission

In general, obtaining planning permission for a house extension in London may involve the following considerations:

  • Permitted Development Rights:
    • Some house extensions may fall under permitted development rights, allowing certain developments without the need for planning permission. However, there are specific criteria regarding size, height, and location that must be met.
  • Extension Size and Placement:
    • The size and placement of the extension can impact whether planning permission is required. Larger or more complex extensions may be subject to additional scrutiny.
  • Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings:
    • If your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, there may be additional restrictions on what kind of extensions are permitted without planning permission.

It’s advisable to consult with the local planning authority or a planning consultant to get specific guidance based on your property and proposed extension.
