Extensions and renovations are effective ways to upgrade and expand existing properties without the need to move. Whether enhancing functionality, increasing property value, or modernizing outdated spaces, both processes require thoughtful planning, quality workmanship, and compliance with building regulations.
An extension involves building additional square footage onto an existing property. This could be: Rear extension – commonly used for larger kitchens, open-plan living, or dining areas. Side extension – utilizes unused land or driveways. Wrap-around extension – combines rear and side extensions for maximum space. Loft conversion – transforms attic space into a usable room. Basement extension – adds a new floor below ground level. Over-garage extension – creates additional bedrooms or bathrooms.
Renovation refers to updating or restoring existing structures and interiors, including: Structural repairs (floors, walls, roof) Interior redesign (kitchens, bathrooms, living areas) Upgrades to plumbing, electrical, and insulation Replacing windows, doors, or finishes
