When faced with an overwhelming lack of space and cramped living conditions, homeowners are increasingly opting for home extensions, and for good reason.

Home extensions allow homeowners to increase their living space at a fraction of the cost and inconvenience of moving houses. They also enable homeowners to design and create unique spaces that cater to their specific needs and changing lifestyles.

And with the right expert advice, a home extension can prove to be an incredible investment. Proving yet again that designing and creating your own, bespoke extension has never been simpler or more rewarding.

A house extension is an opportunity for homeowners to design and create a piece of their home through bespoke extensions that add considerable space and value to a home.

When done right, home extensions in Camberwell have the potential of transforming the original property by creating uniquely designed rooms that are the perfect blend of beauty and functionality.

House extensions may be categorised based on the area of the property on which they are built. As such, home extensions in Camberwell include:

Rear Extensions

Built on the rear of a property, rear extensions are incredibly versatile in their design and function. They may be used to create kitchen extensions, guest rooms, or office pods.

Side return extensions

Side return extensions utilise the area that runs along the side of a property and a portion of the rear area. These extensions are highly valued as they do not use up too much of valuable garden space. Side return extensions are ideal for creating indoor-outdoor connections that help bring in an abundance of natural light and ventilation.

Multi-storey extensions

Though more complex than single-storey extensions, two-storey extensions add incredible floor space within a property. The best part? The roofing and excavation costs remain largely unchanged even as the square footage is essentially doubled, making multi-storey extensions extremely cost-effective.

 

The requirement for planning permission for house extensions in Camberwell is largely based on the complexity of the extension. For instance, extensions that meet the specific size stipulations of permitted developments do not need planning permission.

However, extensions to be constructed on properties listed in conservation areas invariably require planning permission irrespective of their dimensions.

For a comprehensive understanding of the requirements for planning permission and the specifications associated with permitted developments, property owners could also visit the planning portal.

In addition to planning permission, building regulations approval and party wall agreements must also be considered to ensure that the proposed extension meets the building guidelines and standards.

With a wide range of design ideas to choose from, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the possibilities. However, a quick review of your needs, budget, and the space available, allows you to create the ideal extension for your property.

Some of the most-requested extension designs in Camberwell include:

Kitchen extensions

Kitchen extensions help you to transform small, dark kitchen-diners into warm, open, and inviting spaces that cater to modern homes and lifestyles. With the installation of the latest fittings, these kitchens quickly become the centre of your family home and are ideal for hosting celebrations.

Loft conversions

A popular option among homeowners, loft conversions offer incredible versatility in their design and are perfect for adding that extra bedroom or office nook that adds so much value to a property. Loft conversions utilise the awkward corners of the loft space to create valuable, additional living space.

Refurbishments

Not all homes require extensive extensions. Sometimes an innovative approach to transforming the existing space involves changing the layout, creating an open floor plan, and installing well-placed skylights or windows to create a brighter and larger room.

House extensions in Camberwell can range in cost from £30,000 to £130,000.

This is because the cost of a home extension is dependent on a large number of factors. These primarily include:

  • The size of the extension
  • The design/ complexity of the extension
  • Location
  • Groundwork
  • Building materials
  • Fittings and fixtures
  • Specialists’ fees

As such, it is completely possible to create a bespoke home extension within your specific budget and catering to your family’s requirements. By understanding the estimated cost of the proposed extension, the home extension designers and builders should be able work within your budget to construct an incredible space for you.

A home extension allows you to create your dream home, with the space you require, and at the address at which you want to remain. It saves you from the unnecessary cost and inconvenience of moving houses. And it allows you to design and create a part of the family home.

All things considered; home extensions are a great investment.

However, to make this investment truly worthwhile, it must be handled with the care and professional expertise it warrants.

How we deliver projects

Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.

1. Design

This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.

2. Planning

At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.

3. Technical

Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.

4. Pre-build

90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.

5. Build

One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.

6. Handover

As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
