Other types of extensions

Single storey extension

Ideal for expanding living spaces such as kitchens, dining rooms, or lounges, single-storey extensions typically span the rear or side of the property.

  • Benefits: Cost-effective, quick to build, and great for open-plan designs.
  • Popular features: Skylights, bi-fold doors, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Wrap around extension

Combining side and rear extensions, wrap-around designs create versatile, L-shaped spaces that transform the layout of your home.

  • Benefits: Maximises floor space and increases natural light.
  • Perfect for: Larger kitchens, dining rooms, or creating multi-functional spaces.

Side return extension

A great option for Victorian or Edwardian terraced homes, side return extensions make use of underutilised alleyways to widen existing rooms.

  • Benefits: Inexpensive and maintains garden space.
  • Best for: Enlarging kitchens or living rooms.

Loft extension

A dormer extension transforms your attic into a usable living area by adding a vertical extension to the roof.

  • Benefits: Avoids impacting garden space and makes great use of underutilised lofts.
  • Common uses: Bedrooms, home offices, or studio spaces.

Double-storey extension

For families needing additional bedrooms or bathrooms, double-storey extensions offer twice the space without doubling the footprint.

  • Benefits: Adds significant value to the property.
  • Popular uses: Master bedroom suites, extra bathrooms, or expanded family areas.

Porch extension

Whether you’re looking for extra storage, a welcoming entryway, or more living space, this extension adds both functionality and charm without taking up too much room.

  • Benefits: Creates a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors.
  • Popular uses: Space for plants or outdoor gear.

Over-structure

Over-structure extensions involve building additional storeys above existing structures like garages, flat roofs, or single-storey extensions.

  • Benefits: Makes the most of your property’s footprint without taking up additional ground space.
  • Common uses: Extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office.

Basement extension

If the property is on a slope the building can extend downward in order to create more living space.

  • Benefits: Maximises space and can also be done without altering the exterior.
  • Best for: Home gyms, wine cellars, or entertainment rooms.

Fully managed projects in Kent

House extensions in Kent can be a minefield if poorly managed. There are usually a large number of different trades working on a property and reliant on one finishing before the next starts, this poses a problem for timing and responsibility for any errors, so if you take this on yourself you need to be prepared to be on call at all times.

Thankfully we can do all that for you, everything is optional but we can offer everything from initial plans from the Architect and permissions to signing off with inspectors as and when elements are completed and if you choose to do everything with us we will be solely responsible during the snagging period so you don’t have to establish who to call upon for fixes.
