Types of House Extensions We Deliver
Single Storey Extensions
This is perfect for families who want more space without the hassle of moving. We can expand your kitchen and living area or add a new bedroom.

Boost functionality and street appeal with double-storey extensions. It’s a practical solution for multi-generational or growing families.
Rear and Side Extensions
With this, you can open up your living space or kitchen into the outdoor area, while improving natural light and flow.

It’s a fast and flexible way to add space without major disruptions. We handle it all—from design to delivery.

With us, your project stays in capable hands from day one. We’re more than extension builders; we’re planners, designers, and project managers who make the entire process stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:
