Types of House Extensions We Build
Single Storey Extensions
Single storey extensions are a popular way to add functional living space at ground level, often incorporating rooflights or large glazed doors to maximise natural light.
Double Storey Extensions
A double storey extension increases living space across two floors, commonly adding bedrooms, bathrooms or larger family layouts while maintaining balance with the existing home.
Side Return Extension
Side return extensions make use of unused side space, typically on terraced or semi-detached homes, to widen and improve ground floor layouts.
Rear Extension
Rear extensions extend out from the back of the property and are often used to create larger kitchens, dining areas or family spaces with improved access to the garden.
Wraparound Extension
A wraparound extension combines a rear and side extension to maximise ground floor space, often creating large open-plan kitchen and living areas.
Over-Structure Extension
Built above an existing structure such as a garage or ground floor extension, over-structure extensions add valuable space without reducing garden area and require careful structural planning.

Our goal is to ensure your extension is fully compliant, structurally sound and future-proof.
