House extensions Hertfordshire

Single-storey extensions help to create more space on the ground floor of your home and offer a flexible way to change the layout or feel of your property. Whether it’s to create an open plan kitchen diner, utility room, office or gym, a single-storey extension can be a cost-effective option to create the home you’ve always wanted. You’ll also have the opportunity to add new features to your home, such as roof lights, bifold doors, floor to ceiling windows and more. This type of extension can be built on the front, side or rear of your home depending on the space available to you.

Double-storey extensions help to extend your home on the downstairs and upper floors of your home, giving you additional areas for new rooms or spaces. Adding a double-storey extension can help transform your home and may be a more viable option than moving into a larger property, as the costs may be cheaper. This cost of double-storey extensions can sometimes be comparable to single-storey extensions, meaning that it’s worth considering the additional floor if you need an extension and have the space.

Semi-detached extensions are specifically for semi-detached houses and are usually built on the rear, front or side of the property that isn’t attached to another building.

Terraced house extensions provide a flexible way to improve the overall size of your property and allow you to reconfigure the spaces inside your property without the expense of moving home.

Most often your home is extended into a garden or outdoor space, and they’re available as single-storey and double storey builds. Adding an extension to the rear of your home will improve the space available to you and open up additional options for the design of your home, such as functional living spaces or office and gym areas. A rear extension will likely add value to your home and offers a great alternative to upsizing to an entirely new property.

If you have room at the front of your home, then a front house extension can help to create new rooms or extend existing spaces.

Garage extensions create an entirely new space on your property, either as a building attached to your home or as a separate structure.

You’ll have the opportunity to revisit the fittings in use and transform the heart of the home.

Orangery extensions are often single-storey extensions that are built with the sole purpose of creating an orangery-like space that’s multi-functional. These extensions are designed to be light, open-plan and seamlessly fit with the wider property. Orangery extensions are best built with light in mind, but ultimately it will depend on where you have available space and the placement or views you’d prefer from the room. These extensions come in many styles, from traditional to more modern options, and they can help complement your existing home.

Porch extensions are a type of extension specifically designed to add a porch to your home.

Oak frame extensions are a specific style of extension that are built using oak or timber materials. They can be adapted to be modern or more traditional, focusing on adding additional space into your property that is light and stylish.

They may be a more expensive option than brick extensions, but this also means the value added to your property will be greater. Oak frame extensions can be built as both single and double-storey, and they’ll often be structurally independent of the property it’s being added to.
