One of the most popular ways to expand a home — perfect for creating larger kitchens, open-plan living spaces, dining areas or a home office, with increased ground floor space and improved natural light.
Significantly increases both ground and upper floor space — ideal for additional bedrooms, extra bathrooms or a complete layout transformation, offering excellent value by sharing structural costs.
Expands the back of the property to create larger living areas or open-plan kitchens that connect to the garden, often finished with bi-fold doors and roof lights to maximise natural light.
Uses the narrow unused space beside a property to extend the kitchen or living area — particularly popular with terraced and semi-detached homes looking to improve layout and functionality.
Combines a rear and side extension to create one large open living space, completely transforming the ground floor — ideal for large open-plan kitchens and modern family living areas.
While every project is different, a typical extension in the UK generally ranges between £2,500 and £3,000 per square metre. The final price depends on the size of the extension, the type of extension (single storey usually costs less than double storey or wrap-around), the materials and finishes chosen, the complexity of the design, and site-specific factors such as access and ground conditions. Here are some rough examples based on that typical range.
