Types of Extensions

Extensions are designed to meet your needs are requirements, and with plenty of sizes and shapes to choose from, you can build an extension that is completely personalised for you. So if you are looking to increase the space in your home but not sure which type of extension to go for, we have listed a few types that you may take into consideration. 

Loft Conversions

It can be a great idea to turn an unoccupied attic into living space if you have one. In a loft conversion, the bare attic is turned into a usable living area. It is a reasonably priced method of expanding your home, and it doesn't involve significant structural adjustments.

Conservatories 

If you want to expand your house and bring in additional light from the outside, a conservatory is a great choice. It is a glass-enclosed space that serves a variety of functions, including dining, relaxing, and entertaining. Depending on your tastes, a conservatory may be constructed in a variety of sizes and designs.


Rear Home Extensions 

Whether you need an open plan kitchen or would like to integrate the outdoor with the indoor, a rear home extension is a perfect option for you. Not only does it have the potential to change the nature of your home but also maximises the things you can do with the additional space. 

Garage Conversion

Converting a garage into living space might be a terrific way to make the most of the space in your house if you don't utilise it. The garage's structure must be altered, insulation must be added, and plumbing and electrical systems must be safely installed. The new area may be put to use as a home office, a gym, or even an extra bedroom.


Wrap Around Extensions

A wraparound extension involves expanding your property on two or more sides, giving the impression that it is wrapping around your home. If you want to increase your living space, whether it be a larger living room, dining room, or kitchen, this kind of addition might be a great choice. On top of this, it can increase the amount of natural light that enters your house and enhance the movement between the various areas.

Orangery 

An orangery is a glazed addition that resembles a conservatory but is built with a more substantial framework. It often features a brick or stone exterior and a flat roof with a lantern on top. It is a great choice if you want to expand your home while keeping its classic appearance.


Porch Extension

A porch is a simple addition that is frequently constructed at the front of a house. It may be utilised to store shoes and outerwear or as a small seating space. A porch extension may increase the curb appeal of your house and provide you some more room at a reasonable price.
