What We Do

Extensions in South London

Rear, side return and wrap-around extensions that give you the extra room you need.

Need more space? Our home extensions provide the extra room you need, whether it's a larger kitchen, a new living area, or a home office. We work closely with you to design and build an extension that enhances your home and suits your lifestyle.

What's included

Groundworks and foundations, structural openings and steels, brickwork or render, roofing, glazing, bi-fold or sliding doors, roof lights, and all first and second fix trades. We can take the project from the initial drawings through to a fully finished, decorated room.

Whether it is a modest side return or a full wrap-around, the build is programmed so that the messy structural work is finished before we open up into your existing rooms.

Types of extensions we build

Rear extension

Built off the back of the house to enlarge a kitchen or living space. Single storey rear extensions frequently fall under permitted development, subject to depth limits and your property type.

Side return extension

Fills in the narrow alley alongside a Victorian terrace. It adds less floor area than a full rear extension but transforms a dark galley kitchen into a wide, bright room.

Wrap-around extension

Combines a rear and side return extension in one build. The biggest single change you can make to the ground floor of a terrace, and usually the point at which a full open-plan layout becomes possible.

Double storey extension

Adds space to the ground floor and a bedroom or bathroom above. More structural work and almost always a planning application, but the best value per square metre.

Kitchen extension

A rear or side return build designed around the kitchen layout from the outset, so services, lighting and appliance positions are set before the walls go up rather than worked around afterwards.

Why choose us

We build a lot of extensions across South London, so we know how these properties are put together and where the surprises usually hide. That means fewer delays once the ground is open.

You deal with the same people from first visit to handover, and you always know what is happening on site the following week.

What affects the cost

Every property is different, so we do not publish a single headline price. The things that move the figure most are the size and complexity of the work, the condition of the existing structure, the specification you choose for fittings and finishes, access to the site, and whether planning permission or structural design is required. We will talk all of this through at the site visit and set it out clearly in your written estimate.

Questions

Extensions: your questions answered

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, within limits on depth, height and how much of the garden is built on. Double storey extensions, work to the front, flats, listed buildings and homes in conservation areas normally need permission. We establish which applies to your property before pricing the job.

How long does an extension take to build?

A single storey rear or side return extension typically takes twelve to sixteen weeks on site. A wrap-around or double storey build runs longer. You get a written programme up front and a weekly update once we start.

Can I stay in the house during the work?

In most cases yes. We phase the build so the structural and messy work is completed before we break through into your existing rooms, and we sheet up and protect the areas you are still living in.

Do you handle the party wall agreement?

We will tell you when a party wall notice is required and can point you to a surveyor. Excavating near a neighbour's foundations or building off a shared wall normally triggers it, and it is best started early because of the notice periods.
