About our extension work

Designed around the property, not a product range

The most common complaint we hear about extensions built by someone else is that the original back room ended up darker than it started. Adding floor area is straightforward. Adding floor area without stealing the daylight from the rooms behind it takes deliberate design.

Because glazing is our own trade rather than something we subcontract, we design the light first — where the lanterns go, how many roof lights the structure will carry, whether the rear elevation wants bi-folds or a slider — and then build the structure around that. Groundworks, structure and glazing all sit under one quote and one team.

We do not offer repair-only or supply-only work.

Everything we quote, we survey, install and guarantee ourselves. If you need a repair to something we did not fit, we are not the right people — and we will say so on the phone rather than waste your time.

Extensions we design and build

Rear extension

The standard single-storey rear addition, usually opening the kitchen or living space onto the garden.

Side return

Filling in the narrow alley alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces to widen the kitchen.

Wrap-around

Combining a rear and side return into a single L-shaped space across the back of the house.

Kitchen extension

Designed around a new kitchen layout, with glazing positioned to light the island and dining end.

Garden room

A detached or semi-detached room where attaching to the house is impractical.

Glazed link

A slim glazed connection between the main house and an outbuilding or annexe.

Rated 5 out of 5

“Having had an appalling experience with another company before, I decided not to make the same mistake twice and went with the quality supplier. The estimation process was quick and simple and the sales guidance was excellent. The fitters were as good as you can get.”

Common questions

Extensions: your questions answered

Yes. We quote and manage the groundworks, structure and glazing as one project. Glazing is our own trade and the building work is delivered by teams we have worked with for years.

Building regulations approval is always required for an extension. Planning permission depends on size, height and position, and on whether you are in a conservation area. We check both at survey and set out exactly what is needed.

Most run six to twelve weeks on site depending on size, groundworks and specification. You get an indicative programme with the written quote and confirmed dates before materials are ordered.

Yes — matching the existing elevation is part of the design work, whether that is Cotswold stone, brick or render.

Not if it is designed properly. That is exactly why we plan the glazing before the structure, using lanterns, roof lights and glazed links to carry daylight past the new back wall into the original rooms.

No. We only take on full design-and-install projects that we survey, build and guarantee ourselves.
