Why Choose Our Custom House Extensions in London

Extending your home is a major decision, and we treat it that way. We guide you through the whole journey, from your first consultation and planning permission to handover. You deal with one experienced team, so there are no gaps in communication and no surprises.

Every home is different, so we never use templates. Our custom house extensions in London are shaped around your property, lifestyle and budget. We keep disruption low, tidy the site each day and work to a high standard of craftsmanship.

Types of House Extensions We Build

We design and build a wide range of extensions across London and Surrey, including:

01

Rear Extensions

Open up your kitchen and dining space to the garden with a carefully designed rear extension.

02

Side Return Extensions

Use narrow, wasted space that is common in Victorian and Edwardian terraces to create valuable additional floor space.

03

Wraparound Extensions

Combine rear and side space for a dramatic transformation and a more flexible layout.

04

Double-Storey Extensions

Add valuable accommodation across two floors, including bedrooms, bathrooms or family rooms.

05

Kitchen Extensions

Create larger kitchens with new layouts, utility rooms and improved access to the garden.

06

Home Office Extensions

Create a dedicated and comfortable workspace that gives you the privacy and separation needed to work productively from home.

Whatever the size or style, each extension is designed to feel like a natural part of your home, not an add-on. See our house extensions page for more.

Planning Permission Made Simple

Planning rules can feel complicated, especially in conservation areas or on period homes. Some extensions fall under permitted development rights, while others need full planning approval.

We assess your property, advise on the best route and coordinate the paperwork, so you can focus on imagining your new space.

Design-Led Craftsmanship That Lasts

Great extensions combine smart design with excellent workmanship. We match materials, rooflines and details to your existing property, or introduce contemporary contrasts if that is the look you prefer.

Large glazed doors, skylights and open-plan layouts can flood your home with natural light, while quality insulation and modern building methods keep it comfortable all year round.

Our custom house extensions in London are built to perform well, look beautiful and last.

Basement Conversions Across London

If you cannot build outwards, going down can be the smartest option. We also carry out basement conversions, from refurbishing existing cellars to digging down beneath period properties to gain ceiling height.

Basements demand careful engineering, so we take waterproofing, structure and finish equally seriously. The result can be a cinema room, guest suite, gym or playroom instead of a dark storage space.

Space That Fits Your Budget

An extension should improve your life without causing financial stress. We help you balance your wishes with your budget and suggest practical ways to get the most from every pound.

As a guide, a 30 square metre rear extension in London typically costs £80,000 to £150,000 in 2026, including construction, high-end internal fit-out, professional fees and VAT.

Compared with the cost and disruption of buying and moving, extending is often the smarter way to gain the space your family needs.

Our Recent Extension Projects

  • Rear and side extensions with loft conversion: a full renovation adding around 50 sq.m of extension and a 30 sq.m loft, turning a 2-bed house into a 4-bed home with two extra bathrooms, a cloakroom and a utility room.
  • Kitchen extension, Crouch End: an extended property with a full renovation and new kitchen.
  • Rear extension with pitched ceiling window, Leytonstone: a bright extension with a feature pitched glazed roof.

"The outcome is of an extremely high standard and even better than we imagined. We couldn't be happier."
