What Type of Home Extension is Right for Me?

No two clients are the same, and we recognise that everyone is coming to us looking for something different. As the experts in home extensions Essex property owners trust, we take the time to get to know each client so that we can design them an extension that best meets their needs. The main types of extension are:
  • Rear extensions: This kind of extension extends from the back of the property into your garden space. Ideal for adding a new kitchen, dining area, or living room.
  • Side return extensions: These extend your property from the side making use of the side return, or space between yours and your neighbour’s property.
  • Wraparound extensions: This combines a rear and side return extension, wrapping around your home and adding an L-shaped space.
  • Two-storey extensions: Perfect for adding extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office as well as boosting space downstairs, this will see you add to both levels of your home.
  • Over structure extensions: This is when an existing part of the property such as a garage, is used as a base for building above it. This is a great option for those with limited outdoor space.
There’s no right or wrong type of extension, just one that best suits your property and needs. We’re true experts in home extensions in Essex and will point you in the direction of the best option for you.
 

FAQs

What should I do: extend my home or move?

If you love the area and property that you live in, extending your home is a great option. When you start a search for a new property, it’s very unlikely that you are going to find a home that ticks all of your boxes. When you extend, you will get to totally customise the home you are already settled in, giving you a property that meets your needs.

We have worked on properties of all sizes, layouts and ages, and know how to design and execute extensions that build on the existing charm of a home. So rather than move, why not rediscover what made you fall in love with your home in the first place?

Will I need planning permission for my extension?

If you build within your permitted development rights, you won’t need to get planning permission to extend your home. If you extend from the front of a house, next to a road or near a boundary, or your extension is very large, then you will in most cases need to obtain permission. If you have a listed property, then there will be other steps that you need to take as well.

No matter if we are working within permitted development rights or the conditions laid out in your planning permissions, will we make sure that your work complies with all building regulations.

What can an extension be used for?

There’s no limit to what an extension can be used for! Many rear extensions are used to create a bigger kitchen and dining space, or an extra living area. With more and more of us working at home though, many people are looking to add a dedicated office to their property. It could be used for an extra bedroom as well, whether that’s upstairs or an accessible guest suite on the ground floor.

We work with a wide range of clients and will collaborate with you to ensure that your extension matches the vision you have for your home.
