Tailored Extension Services
No two houses are the same, and that’s why every extension is designed to fit your unique needs. Whether you’re looking to create a larger living space, add a bedroom with a two-storey extension, or create a bespoke home office, we make it our mission to transform your space to suit your changing lifestyle.
An extension is an ideal opportunity to remodel, reconfigure and renovate your existing house to create something special, re-inventing your home to suit to your individual or family requirements.
Single-Storey Extensions
Create beautiful, light and open spaces that seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors. Perfect for expanding kitchen areas or creating extra living space for family gatherings.
Two-Storey Extensions
Build over existing single storey extensions and garages or add an entire two storey extension to create additional space on both levels. This is a great way to add extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or an office without compromising your home’s existing style. Our designs enhance your home’s layout while providing the extra space you need.
Side and Rear Extensions
Expand your home’s footprint with a side extension that offers more room for an open plan kitchen or living area, or opt for a rear extension to connect with and make better use of your garden. Each design is customised to complement and improve your existing layout, creating a harmonious living environment.
Where the size of your garden allows, a wraparound extension (side and rear extension combined) could dramatically improve your home, transforming it form a cramped space to a spacious one with improved layout and flow.
Loft Conversions
Transform unused loft space into something extraordinary—whether it’s a cosy bedroom, a creative studio, or an additional bathroom.
Adding a room in the roof is a great option to maximise your floor space, when increasing the footprint of your property is not an option. The addition of roof lights and dormer windows can create bright and inviting spaces for the family.
If head space is limited the entire roof could be even be raised…
Planning Legislation
Adding a room in the roof, a stylish kitchen, modern extension, or an annexe could all be options subject to the relevant local planning legislation and permitted development rights (PD), ensuring that your project stays within the allowed parameters.
Cost Considerations
It’s important to note that unlike new-build houses (which are zero-rated for VAT), if you are making alterations to an existing building, you may be subject to VAT on building costs. We’ll guide you through these details to ensure there are no surprises.

Extensions for Every Type of Home
Whether you’re working with a modern home, traditional suburban semi, terraced house or managing the challenges of a historic listed building, your extension will always honour the original character of your home while enhancing its functionality. Every design is created to ensure a natural blend between old and new.
New Home Extensions
A new home extension gives you the flexibility to expand your space while keeping your existing home layout intact. Whether it’s adding a stylish kitchen, an additional living area, or even an annexe for guests or extended family, your new extension can transform how you live.
Listed Building Extensions
Extending a listed building comes with its own set of challenges, but with careful consideration and respect of building’s history and fabric, the extension can not only preserve the character, but enhance it.
Every element is considered and designed to comply with complex planning regulations relating to heritage buildings and working within conservation areas. An extension can offer a historic building a new lease of life; making a house more suitable for the needs of the inhabitants, or combined with sensitive renovation, it can bring a neglected building up to modern day standards of living. An advantage of extending heritage buildings, is that both traditional and contemporary designs can sit in harmony, complimenting the original craftsmanship.
