The Process of Building a Double Storey Side Extension

Consultation and Design
We begin with a consultation to understand your needs and design a custom extension. Our team creates a plan that maximizes space and complements your existing home.

Planning Permission and Approvals
We handle all the necessary permissions and approvals, ensuring the extension complies with local regulations and building codes.

Groundwork and Foundation
Our team prepares the site and lays reinforced foundations to ensure long-term stability. The groundwork is carefully executed to provide a solid base for the extension.

Construction and Structure Build
We build the extension using high-quality materials, including brickwork, blockwork, and energy-efficient windows and doors. The roof is carefully constructed for seamless integration with your home.

Internal Finishing
After the structure is in place, we focus on internal finishes, such as plumbing, electrical work, plastering, and flooring. We tailor the interior to your preferences and ensure everything meets industry standards.

Single Storey Extensions

Types of Single-Storey Extensions for Homes

A single-storey extension can dramatically enhance the living space of your home, offering more room for family gatherings, relaxation, or even creating a whole new function for a space. Here are some popular types of single-storey extensions to consider:

  1. Rear Extension:
    • One of the most common single-storey extensions, a rear extension extends the back of your house, offering extra space for a kitchen, living room, or dining area. It helps bring in natural light and often includes large windows or sliding doors that open into the garden.
  2. Side Extension:
    • A side extension adds space along the side of your property, expanding your home’s footprint. It works well when you need additional space but don’t want to encroach on your garden or rear space. This extension can be used to add a new bedroom, a bathroom, or even a utility room.
  3. Wraparound Extension:
    • Combining both rear and side extensions, a wraparound extension creates a larger, more open living space, often ideal for kitchens, dining areas, or family rooms. It allows for more flexibility in design, creating a seamless connection between the inside and the garden.
  4. Front Extension:
    • While less common, a front extension can add a unique look to the front of your home, increasing your living space and adding curb appeal. This type of extension works well for creating a larger entryway, an office, or a lounge area.
  5. Garage Conversion:
    • If you have an attached garage, converting it into a living space is an effective way to extend your home without building outward. Garage conversions are typically used for additional bedrooms, home offices, or living rooms.
  6. Garden Room:
    • A garden room is a stylish, flexible extension that integrates indoor living with your outdoor space. This type of extension can serve as a home office, gym, or relaxation room with large windows or even glass walls to connect with the garden.
  7. Orangery:
    • A single-storey extension with a more substantial structure, often with brick walls and a glass roof lantern. An orangery creates a bright, airy space that blends the outdoors with the indoors, commonly used as a dining area or a garden room.
  8. Kitchen Extension:
    • A kitchen extension is one of the most popular choices for a single-storey extension, providing more room for a larger kitchen, dining area, or even a breakfast nook. It can also include features like an island, skylights, or bi-fold doors for a more open, modern look.
  9. Home Office Extension:
    • With the rise of remote working, many homeowners are choosing to extend their homes to create dedicated office spaces. These extensions provide quiet, private areas, often with large windows to allow for plenty of natural light.
  10. Conservatory Extension:
  • Although traditionally known for its glass structures, conservatories can be part of a single-storey extension to create a light-filled, relaxing space. A conservatory extension allows you to blend indoor and outdoor spaces, ideal for year-round enjoyment of your garden.

Each type of single-storey extension offers unique benefits based on your space requirements and aesthetic preferences. Whether you’re looking to create more living space, improve your home’s functionality, or add value to your property, a single-storey extension can be the perfect solution.

Types of Loft Conversions for Homes

A loft conversion is an excellent way to utilize unused attic space, adding value and extra living area to your home. Here are the main types:

  1. Dormer Loft Conversion:
    • Extends the roof vertically to create more headspace and add windows. It’s perfect for creating extra rooms like bedrooms or home offices.

  4. Gable-to-Gable Loft Conversion:
    • Alters both sides of the roof to extend the ridge, providing maximum space. Suitable for homes that need more extensive additional space.
  5. Mansard Loft Conversion:
    • Changes the roof structure to create steep, vertical sides, maximizing space. Great for luxury conversions with multiple rooms.
  6. Multi-Room Loft Conversion:
    • Divides the attic into several rooms like bedrooms, a bathroom, or a small living area—perfect for families needing extra space.
  7. Loft Conversion with En-suite:
    • Adds an en-suite bathroom to the loft, ideal for creating a self-contained master suite or guest room.
  8. Open-Plan Loft Conversion:
    • Creates a spacious, minimalist area with no internal walls, perfect for a large living room or office.
  9. Storage Loft Conversion:
    • Converts the attic into an efficient storage space, ideal for decluttering without sacrificing living space.
