Kitchen Extensions
​
One of the most popular home improvements, a kitchen extension can create open-plan living spaces that connect the home with the garden.
​
Rear Extensions
​
Rear extensions are ideal for expanding living spaces and creating larger family rooms or dining areas.
​
Side Extensions
​
Side extensions can utilise unused space to enlarge kitchens, add utility rooms or create additional living areas.
​
Two-Storey Extensions
​
Two-storey extensions can significantly increase both ground floor and bedroom space while adding long-term value to your property.
​
Wrap-Around Extensions

Combining side and rear extensions, these can transform the entire ground floor layout.

Designing a successful home extension requires more than simply adding floor area. It requires careful consideration of layout, light, structure, planning policy and construction.
​
Our typical process includes:
​
1. Initial Consultation
​
We discuss your ideas, budget and goals for the extension. This helps establish the design brief and explore possible options.
​
2. Measured Survey
​
A detailed survey of your property ensures that all drawings are accurate and suitable for design and planning.
​
3. Concept Design
​
We explore design ideas including layout improvements, new spaces and connections to the garden.
​
4. Planning Permission
​
Where required, we prepare and submit planning applications to the relevant local authority.
​
5. Technical Drawings
​
Once planning approval is secured, we prepare the detailed drawings required for building regulations and construction.
​
6. Construction Support
​
We can assist during the construction stage, helping ensure the design is delivered as intended.
