Rear house extensions

Arear extension is placed at the back of your property, extending onto the current garden or patio area.

They’re typically used to create larger open plan living spaces and blend the indoor/outdoor space.

A small one can usually be done without planning permission which saves some time and hassle.

Single storey / Side extensions

Have you got an alleyway or path down the side of your house?

Many period properties do and for this reason, side return extensions are very popular as a way of extending your home. The extension itself is typically quite small in terms of how far out it comes, but runs the length of the room, so it can have a transformative effect on your interior without the need for planning permission.

Double storey extensions

Double storey extensions means extend over two floors as opposed to one.

You get double the space but not double the cost as typically a double storey extension only costs 50% more than a single storey one asl the costs of foundations etc. are tied into the lower floor and creating an additional floor above is less work overall. Most double storey extensions will need planning permission, so that’s something to consider
