The ability to transform your existing home to create more space while adding value to your property is a dream for many homeowners. Fortunately, it is a highly attainable one.

House extensions in Plumstead provide property owners with the opportunity to upscale and elevate their homes in a way that allows them to add some much-needed space without incurring the cost and inconvenience associated with moving houses.

And with the right extension specialists, the home extension can be custom-designed to meet your specific requirements while also flawlessly flowing with the layout of your home and keeping the beauty and architectural integrity of the original structure intact.

With so many benefits, it is easy to see why homeowners in Plumstead are opting for home extensions to recreate their properties and increase the living space within.

A house extension is essentially an incredible opportunity for homeowners to expand the living space within their homes by customising an area that not only adds space but also adds value to a property.

Depending on the design of the home extension, property owners are able to create or elevate any room within their homes to suit their space requirements and lifestyles.

Based on the area on which it is constructed, home extensions may be broadly classified as:

Rear extensions –

Built on the rear of a property, rear extensions are incredibly popular among homeowners as they give rise to numerous possibilities as to how the new space may be used. Rear extensions are commonly built to create kitchen extensions, guest rooms, or even office pods.

Side Return Extensions –

Side return extensions utilise the area that runs along the side of a property as well as a portion of the rear. They are generally preferred to wraparound extensions as they do not take up too much of the valuable garden space.

Side return extensions are ideal for creating beautiful indoor-outdoor connections that are a much-coveted feature in modern homes.

Multi-Storey Extensions –

Though more complex than single-storey extensions, two-storey extensions have the potential to create incredible floor space within a home. And as the roofing and excavation costs remain largely unchanged, multi-storey extensions may be a cost-effective solution to add space and value to your property.

This type of extension is perfect for creating additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or even playrooms and study areas.

Yes and no.

The requirement for planning permission for house extensions in Plumstead 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 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 and the space required, together with the space available, should help you to create a design best-suited for your property.

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

Kitchen extensions –

A family-favourite. And for good reason.

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 even the awkward corners and convert these loft areas into valuable 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 Plumstead 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.

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.
