Types of house extensions

We offer a range of extensions to fit your property and requirements:

Single Story Extension

Single Storey Extensions

Perfect for expanding kitchens, living rooms, or dining areas, single-storey extensions enhance the ground floor’s usability. They can be designed to blend seamlessly with your existing property style or create a striking modern contrast.

Double Story Extension

Double Storey Extensions

Double storey extensions maximise your space by adding rooms on both the ground and first floors. Ideal for adding additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or even a home office, they are cost-effective for increasing square footage.

Side Extension

Side Return Extensions

Utilise the narrow strip of land at the side of your property to expand existing rooms or create a more open-plan layout. Side return extensions are particularly popular in Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes.

Wrap Around Extension

Wrap Around Extensions

Combining a rear and side return extension, wrap-around extensions offer the ultimate in flexible living space. They are perfect for creating open-plan kitchen-dining-living areas with plenty of natural light.

Rear Extension

Rear extensions are great for creating a larger kitchen, dining room, or family room. They can be single or double storey and are designed to flow seamlessly into your garden space.

Conservatory or Orangery Extension

Ideal for enjoying your garden all year round, conservatories and orangeries provide a light, airy space that can be used as a dining room, office, or relaxing sunroom.

Why choose a house extension?

A house extension is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to expand their living space without the hassle of moving. Not only does it provide the extra room you need, but it also significantly increases the property’s value. With rising property prices and moving costs, more people are choosing to extend their current homes to meet their changing needs. Whether it’s for a larger kitchen, additional bedrooms, a new home office, or a spacious living area, an extension can transform your home to better suit your lifestyle.

Thinking about adding a house extension to your home in London or Essex?

Before starting a home extension, it’s essential to consider planning permissions, building regulations, and budget planning. Some extensions fall under Permitted Development, but others require formal approval. B&G Lofts can help navigate the legalities and ensure compliance with local authority requirements. Additionally, budgeting is crucial to avoid unexpected costs, and it’s wise to have a detailed, transparent quote from the start.

You should also think about the impact on your daily life and your neighbours. Construction can be disruptive, so planning for temporary living arrangements or adjusting routines may be necessary. It’s also considerate to inform neighbours, especially if the extension is near shared boundaries. B&G Lofts offers comprehensive project management to minimise disruption and keeps you informed every step of the way.
