Transform your home with a single-storey
A single-storey extension gives you the space, comfort and flexibility your home is missing.
From brighter kitchens to open-plan family areas, we design extensions that feel natural, spacious and beautifully connected to your lifestyle.
More Space. More Light. More Value.
We design with both beauty and investment in mind, ensuring your extension blends seamlessly with your home and delivers long-term value.
A well-designed single storey extension adds significant value to your home, often 10–20%, depending on size and finish.

FAQ’s
-
Usually you do, however smaller extensions that fall within permitted development rights may not have to apply for formal planning permission. We can help guide you on this based on your ambitions and plans for your home.
-
Each house is different and in general it comes down to your specific plot and how your plans might impact your neighbours.
That said, as a rough baseline based on permitted development rights (no prior approval) you can extend back up to 3m (4m if it’s a detached property), with a max height of 3m if within 2m of a neighbour’s boundary. With prior approval you can essentially double these. You generally can’t cover more than 50% of the land around the original house without planning permission.
-
A single-storey extension typically takes 3 to 4 months to build, but the entire process from design to completion often spans 4 to 9 months, factoring in 8+ weeks for planning permission, complex designs, and considerations for the actual construction methods used for foundations, walls, roofing, and finishing.
-
Surprisingly, the answer is often yes! It all depends on the scale of work, but some of our clients have remained at the property even during large scale extensions. That’s not to say that life doesn’t get a whole lot messier, busier and noisier!
