A Comprehensive Guide to Home Extensions

House extensions are among the most popular property renovations, allowing homeowners to expand their space without the hassle of moving. Suitable for domestic and commercial properties alike, our contractors break down the differences between common extension types.

Side Return Extensions

Utilising the alleyway around the side of your home—commonly used for keeping bins, bikes, and other outdoor or garden equipment, side return extensions are most appropriate for semi-detached and terraced homes. They are a popular option for those who require more space without compromising their garden.

Wraparound Extensions

Most suited to Victorian-style properties with alleyways, wraparounds act as a hybrid combination of a side return and rear extension, establishing an L-shape at the back of your property. They are ideal for those who want to achieve mass impact and feel a greater sense of connection to their garden.

Single-Storey Extensions

As the name suggests, these home extensions cover one level of your property. With various design options available, clients can maximise natural light by adding bi-folding doors. Perfect for bringing the outdoors inside your Crawley, Reigate, Horley, East Grinstead, Forest Row, Copthorne, Edenbridge, Lingfield, Horsham, or Haywards Heath property!

Double-Storey Extensions

Double-storey property extensions are your solution for those who want additional space over more than one floor. Built on top of a ground-floor extension, they allow you to increase space over two levels. This style may require a slightly bigger budget, but the cost per square metre is usually lower than a solitary single-storey extension, which then makes it surprisingly cost-effective!
