What can I do with a home extension?
Do you want to add a room to your house? Depending on the type, home extensions can be utilised for a variety of purposes. They not only make your home larger and give you more usable space, but they also help to increase the value of your property.
If you're thinking about moving to a larger home, you should first think about extending your current one. This can be easier and less expensive in the long term! Continue reading to learn about our suggestions for each style of home extension.

Extension of a single-story room
This is the most basic sort of home extension, and it adds a new, standard room to your house. This can be utilised for a variety of purposes, including an office, bedroom, or living room. You may also utilise this extension to expand an existing space, such as making your kitchen more open.
A Room Conversion
A loft or garage conversion is another popular type of extension. Conversions are a terrific way to add more living space to your home without having to build or extend the current structure. Loft conversions are typically used to increase space to your existing upstairs floor by converting a loft into a bedroom. Garage conversions are excellent for adding distinct living space to your home that you would not have otherwise had.
A Conservatory or Orangery
These two extensions are slightly different yet serve the same purpose. Because of the amount of light they allow in, they are perfect for extra living space and maybe utilised all year. A conservatory is one of the less expensive forms of extension.
A two-story rear extension
Double-story extensions add a significant amount of useful room to your home, making them an excellent choice if you are considering moving to a larger property. These extensions, as the name implies, add space to two floors of your home, potentially providing you with an extra room downstairs and upstairs. This can completely change the feel of your home, making it appear much larger and better suited to your needs. This extra room can be used for whatever you deem essential, contributing to the overall comfort of your home.
Wrap-Around Extension
This creative expansion design creates a sophisticated, L-shaped living area by combining the best features of a side and rear extension. For those who want to add a new room and expand their existing one, this is the best option.
The planning approvals and roof options for this two-story addition are the same whether you're building a dining room extension or an extension of the kitchen, just as with a single-story extension. Our building services in Eastbourne will help you with planning permission.
Porch Extension
This type of extension is popular because it increases property value, even though it does not require building an entirely new room. If your front door opens straight into your living room, this becomes even more appealing because a porch may act as a buffer and provide a handy place to put things like shoes.
This kind of modification is widely used because it is simple to implement. The lack of a planning permission requirement—as long as the porch is kept unheated and is divided from the main home by an interior door— makes it a more simplistic extension.
Over Structure Extension
This extension blends in with the original one-story building, which is typical of many UK homes with a single-story garage next to the main building. This current structure can be expanded to allow for the construction of an upstairs bedroom or bathroom.
When extending the upper floor solely, choosing this kind of expansion has the benefit of optimising space without intruding on the garden. However, it's important to consult experts, such as our local builders in Hastings, Eastbourne and Bexhill, to carry out comprehensive inspections because some garages may need more foundational strength to support future development.
