Side Return Extension

​If your property has a spare strip of land or alleyway present that runs adjacent to your property, all the way through to your back garden, then it's a good possibility that you are one of the lucky people that could benefit from a side return extension to extend and enlarge your main residence. These dormant and wasted pieces of land are a usual part of a period, victorian, Edwardian or around those eras. They can be transformed into all sorts of fantastic living spaces and really transform the feel and look of your home with some amazing results. Some customers will also include a rear extension within the conversion process which when combined with the side return is known as a wrap-around extension. All depends on your initial budget and the space you have to work with. Whichever type of extension or conversion that you choose it can be nothing but beneficial by adding that much-needed living space with a kitchen extension, kitchen diner, upgraded lounge, what would you use your new side extension space for? read more

Wrap-Around Extension

Wrap-around types of home extensions incorporate a ground floor, L-shape extension building which reaches down through the side and around the back of your property. This can really maximise your available external space to you, on the side of your house and also by building out beyond the rear garden. The wrap-around extension can put together an impressively large amount of new habitable space, which can add up to a luxurious transformation to your existing property, add some recession-proof value and improve your all-round living experience. Older type period properties seem more favourable for these types of conversions as they more often have the much-needed strip of land next to them that can be used to widen the house as well as sufficient space at the back for the rear expansion.

Single Storey Extension

When you weigh up all the costs involved with upscaling to a larger property and all the upheaval that's involved, it's very understandable that many people are choosing to stay in their existing homes and extend their existing property, most often saving time, money and stress of the whole ordeal. A single storey extensions could be your answer in solving this issue as they can provide some more comfortable liveable space for you and your family. These new spacious open-plan living areas can benefit your life by connecting you with the garden and outside spaces. If designed around letting in the natural light and outside environment they can really create a beautiful and healthy way of living.

Double Storey Extension

A double-storey extension would be your best investment to increase the living space over two floors of your house. Spread over the ground and second-floor levels, these types of extensions can maximise the space added to your home environment. They can produce double the amount of extra volume than other types of home extensions like your rear, side returns and wrap-around type extensions. This is because all the volume of newly created space will run through the two extra new floors. This can allow large families a much larger living space to maybe add those extra bedrooms or large family bathroom extension. The two-storey extension option can be a very cost-effective solution if you find that your family is increasing at a fast rate and moving to a larger property is not a financial possibility. It may seem an expensive choice and road to go down at first, but if you weigh it up against the only other option available which would involve the more expensive route of moving property and incurring the costs of large deposits, solicitors, estate agents, removals, stamp duty and all the other expenses and inconveniences that come with relocating houses. So a two-storey extension could solve a lot of problems and you can rest assured that your wise investment will most likely add a good amount of value to your existing home. More Info

Loft Conversion

The main reasons for doing a loft conversion are: to add space to a home, to use the loft as living accommodation, or to use it for extra storage space. In most cases, the head height is not a problem, but it is best to check this before you start the conversion process. It needs to be a minimum of 2.2 metres from the highest part of the rafters to the floor joists, but do not worry if not, as there are other methods available to create the desired height. You could have an extra bedroom with an ensuite, playroom for the children, so many options to make your home larger without the need to move home, and also this is a home improvement that can add some potential value to your Derby Home!

Frequently Asked Questions

​What size extension can I build?
It all depends on what type of extension you are thinking about having built. For example, your average rear extension, you can build up to four metres on a detached residences and three meters for all other kinds of houses without needing planning permission from any authorities or approval, as they may come under the permitted development. As always there are stipulations and guidelines and it's worth checking out beforehand with your local planning department. Building regulations will always apply. As for a side return and wrap-around extensions, they must be single storey and no higher than four metres and not exceed more than half of the area of original land around the house, as it was first constructed or as it stood on the 1st of July 1948.  If it was built prior to that date, the It must also be no wider than half the width of the original built house.

Can I extend my house without permission?
Rear extensions tend to be the easiest, with only a little red-tape involved. In most cases you can build up to four metres on detached residences and three meters for all other kinds of houses without needing permission from any authorities or approval, as they may come under the permitted development. As always there are stipulations and guidelines and it's worth checking out beforehand with your local planning department. Building regulations will always apply.

How much does an extension cost?
There are so many variables to consider, such as the size, the quality of materials you choose inside and out, what you are going to build the extension for as your end goal. If you are building to extend your kitchen area and installing a new kitchen then this will be significantly higher price than if you were just extending your lounge area. Fixtures, fittings and accessories can really affect a price, it all depends on your personal tastes and how high-end you would like to go! We get asked all the time, what is the cheapest way to extend my house? It can pose such an expansive question, we need to know the full scope of what you require. Call us and we can discuss your options, and build some thing special, just for you!

Do I need an architect for an extension?
If your extension project is very simple design and straightforward, and maybe you have found out that you don’t require any planning permission, then you might bet asking yourself the question: do I really need the expense of an architect? This is a very common predicament for homeowners, especially for those that plan on only doing a simple kitchen extensions or interior alteration work on minimal type of budget. Well the short answer is no you don't have to. If you do require an architect then we can fully recommend a panel of professional local architects in Derby that we trust with this kind of work. We will always advise on this subject if we think that this would be your best way forward.

Can you put an extension on the front of your house?
Under the set out permitted development rules and regulations there are clearly defined guidelines for side return extensions, rear extensions and wrap around extensions. Front extensions on the other hand are normally NOT allowed, except where the property does not have frontage onto a highway or is a substantial distance away from the highway.

Does extending your house add value?
When you're considering adding value to your home with any particular house extension, it's important to make sure the extension matches the architectural style of your existing house. There are many factors that go into determining this, such as the type of extension and location in particular can affect how much an addition is worth. Most property conversions and additions will add value, if not straight away then certainly over a period of time. It all depends if you are planning the improvements to sell, or if you just want to extend your home to create more living space for your family, as this exercise alone can be priceless!. 

So in most cases I would say yes. But this cannot be 100% guaranteed but most likely a quality built house extension could add anything up to to 23% to an overall value of a property. This is confirmed with nationwide research, where they found that an additional bathroom extension could add around 6% to the value of a home, an extra double bedroom about 12% value, and a ground floor house extension where you are creating a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom attached would increase  your additional the value of your home up to approx 23%. These figures are a guide and subject to change at any time.
