A well-designed extension gives you the space you need while adding real value to the property. From open-plan kitchens to double-storey extensions, we design and build spaces that work for how you actually live.
Every extension is engineered to sit naturally against the existing house rather than look bolted on, which is the difference between an extension that adds value and one that simply adds square metres.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about planning, building and managing your extension.
How much does a house extension cost?
It depends on size, design and level of finish. As a general guide, single-storey extensions typically start from around £1,500 to £2,500 per square metre. We provide clear, detailed quotations so you know exactly what is included before work begins.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Some extensions fall under permitted development, meaning planning permission may not be required. It depends on the size and design of the extension and on your property. We will advise you on the planning position and handle applications where they are needed.
How long does an extension take?
Most single-storey extensions take between 10 and 16 weeks depending on size and complexity. You get a clear programme before construction begins.
Will I be able to live in the house during the work?
In most cases yes. We plan the sequence around keeping the house usable, and we will tell you honestly up front if there is a period where that will not be practical.
