Property Extension

Architectural Services for Property Extensions

In an ideal world, your home should evolve to meet your lifestyle needs—whether you’re adding a bedroom for a growing family, creating a home office, or transforming a small kitchen into a spacious social area. We’re here to guide you through each step of your property extension journey, from initial concept to final approval. Our team is experienced with local planning regulations, helping you navigate council requirements for residential and commercial extensions across London.

Things to know

  • Most residential and commercial extensions require local council approval, including:
    • Planning permission
    • Permitted development
    • Building regulations
  • We shall discuss these with you and make the necessary enquiries before providing you with a quotation.
  • Councils may have different views on planning applications depending on where you live.
  • We deal with  Local Planning Authorities across London on a daily basis, maintaining a good working relationship and understanding the planning policies that will impact your project.

Key Types of Extensions

Single Storey Extensions (Including Conservatories & Porches)

  • Purpose: Expand your living area on the ground floor, often used to create open-plan kitchen and dining spaces.
  • Permissions: Most homes in London can extend at the rear or side within specified limits under permitted development rules. If required, we’ll assist with permitted development or planning permission applications.
  • Benefits: A cost-effective way to increase both usable space and property value.

Double Storey Extensions

  • Purpose: Suitable for adding space on both the ground and first floors, often used to expand bedrooms and living areas.
  • Property Types: Best suited for end-of-terrace, semi-detached, or detached properties with the structural capacity for a double-storey addition.
  • Permissions: Some double-storey extensions may fall under permitted development, but larger projects will need full planning permission, which we can handle on your behalf.

Loft Extension

  • Purpose: Dormer loft extensions are popular for transforming attic spaces into master bedrooms with en-suites or additional bedrooms.
  • Benefits: Maximises unused space in the attic, adding a significant amount of living area and enhancing property value.
  • Permissions: Permitted development may apply, but larger conversions typically require planning permission. Our team will guide you through the application process.

Outbuilding

  • Purpose: Garden outbuildings can be designed as home offices, gyms, guest annexes, or storage solutions, depending on your needs.
  • Permissions: The requirements vary based on the size and location of the outbuilding. We’ll handle applications for permitted development or full planning permission as needed.

Basement Conversion

  • Purpose: Convert an underutilised basement into a bright, functional room—often used as an additional bedroom, recreation room, or even a home theatre.
  • Permissions: Basement conversions generally need planning permission due to the structural and safety requirements. This is true whether you are retrofitting a basement or using an existing one. We’ll design a layout that incorporates light and safety exit routes, aligning with council regulations.
