Types of Home Extension
Below are the main types of extensions we build for London homes.
Simply scroll through, compare the options and see which one fits your property and lifestyle.
1. Rear Extension
A rear extension projects out from the back of your property into the garden. It’s one of the most common and effective ways to create a larger kitchen, dining and family area – especially in London terraced and semi-detached homes. By opening up the rear wall and extending outwards, we can design a bright, open-plan space that connects seamlessly to your garden.
This type of extension is ideal if you want to replace a small, dark kitchen with a generous, sociable room where cooking, dining and relaxing all happen together. With wide glazed doors, rooflights and clever lighting, the rear of your home becomes the heart of the house, perfect for families and entertaining.
2. Side Return Extension
A side return extension infills the often-underused alleyway at the side of many Victorian and Edwardian London terraces. By building into this narrow strip of land, we can widen your existing kitchen or create a generous L-shaped living space without taking too much from the garden.
This option is perfect if you currently have a long, narrow kitchen and want more width, light and practicality. With glazed roofs, rooflights or full-height windows along the side, a side return extension can completely transform a dark, cramped room into a bright, functional and stylish space.
3. Wrap-Around Extension (Rear + Side Return)
A wrap-around extension combines a rear extension with a side return extension, creating an “L” shaped footprint that wraps around the back and side of your home. This is one of the most transformative options available, allowing you to completely redesign the ground floor layout.
With a wrap-around extension, we can create a large open-plan space with zones for cooking, dining, relaxing and even a small study or play corner. It’s ideal for busy family homes that need more breathing room, better storage and a stronger connection to the garden. Thoughtful design ensures the space still feels cosy and well-defined, not just like one big hall.
4. Double-Storey Extension
A double-storey extension adds space over two floors – usually extending both the ground floor and the first floor of your home. This is a powerful way to create a larger kitchen or living area downstairs and new bedrooms, bathrooms or a home office upstairs, all in one project.
This type of extension is ideal when you plan to stay in your home long-term and want to future-proof it for a growing family. It can significantly increase both your day-to-day comfort and the long-term value of the property, particularly in desirable London neighbourhoods where extra bedrooms and bathrooms are highly sought after.
5. Kitchen Extension (Specialist Focus)
While many extensions include kitchens, a dedicated kitchen extension is all about creating a functional, beautiful cooking and social space. This can be a rear, side or wrap-around extension specifically designed around your appliances, storage, island, dining and how you move through the space.
A kitchen extension is perfect if your current kitchen feels outdated, cramped or cut off from the rest of the house. By opening up walls, improving light and flow, and integrating smart storage and high-quality finishes, we turn the kitchen into the main social hub of your home.
