Don't take our word for it. Here's what they have to say about Better Homes Studio.
What we do
Full service renovation company
Single storey extension
The addition of single storey extension can add significant value to your home.
Single storey house extensions are built onto a part of the house whereby one or more sides of the extension is attached to the property, and there is only the ground floor plus any basement built to it.
Single storey extensions require building control, but they might not need planning permission.
Double storey extension
Need to add more than one room to your home? a double-storey extension is a cost-effective option.
With this type of extension, you could create a large kitchen with a dining area and easy access to the garden on the lower half. Have an extra bedroom, large family bathroom, office or even a home gym on the second half.
Double storey home extensions can be built onto the back or the side of the house.
Side return extension
Perfect for a bit of additional space without causing too much disruption .
Side return extension functions similarly to a rear extension, with the difference being that rather than extending do the rear, the property is extended to the side, making use of the side return, or small ‘alleyway’ between yours and your neighbour’s property.
Simplicity and cost are again the main selling points here, with the side return extension being relatively easy to build, taking less time than some of the other options and consequently also being among the least expensive of all options.
Over structure extension
An extension over the top of an existing structure such as a garage.
Many UK properties (detached & semi-detached) built within the last 40 years, usually have a single storey side garage. This creates an opportunity for an additional extension on top of the garage.
This type of extension on top of the garage offers significant benefits compared to other extension types such as creating a large master bedroom with en-suite.
Loft conversion
Create an extra room or more by simply converting your loft.
If you have an attic with sufficient floor to ceiling heights, you could create an extra room by simply converting your loft by adding a couple of Velux or other good quality windows to your roof, creating a roof light loft conversion.
If your attic is not high enough, you could still add a room by building a dormer loft conversion or a mansard extension
Basement extension
Usually used to add a gym or game room to your home.
If your property sits on a slope, you could build a semi-basement with a part of the area sitting below the ground. Bringing light and air into half basements is usually straightforward.
If you are adding a side or rear house extension to your house, you might be able to incorporate a basement extension into the design.
