Home Extensions Report

Extending a home is a great way to add extra space to your home without having to move but can seem a bit daunting when you first start looking into it! Do you know what type of extension will be the best for what you want to achieve with your home? There are lots of ways to extend a home - rear extension, double rear extension, side extension, double side extension, different types of loft conversions.

Loft Conversion Report

You can achieve almost full width and depth, but no higher than the existing roof. The best roof type for the loft extension is a gabled roof (2 sides slope) rather than a hipped roof (all 4 sides slope). Always remember, you may lose a bit of space on the floor below when installing the staircase.

Single Storey Extensions Report

The rise of the kitchen at the heart of the house creates a very liveable home and a kitchen/dining/living space is easy to create with a rear extension. Up to 8 metres (for a detached house)/6 meters (for a semi-detached/terraced house) from the original rear of the property can be typically achieved via Permitted Development.

I have known Gordon through business for some years, with many mutual clients and finally got round to using him for a personal project and couldn’t be happier. The brief was listened to, improved upon and we got the required planning first time round. Both him and Roberto have been a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend and use again without a second thought!

Positive: Value
Very easy to deal with. Very clear fees structure.
They designed an extension for us that was a good use of space and were willing to provide answers to builder's questions even after they had provided all the drawings.
