Single-Storey Extensions

As the name suggests, these house extensions create additional space on one level of your Guildford or Woking property. These extensions are relatively straightforward and allow you to add a new room or living space to your property where you see fit.

Double-Storey Extensions

Double-storey extensions add a new room to the ground floor of your home and another room above it. Professional builders will tell you this is a fantastic choice if you want maximum space and financial value. By building vertically, you don’t need to eat into your precious outdoor space to get more interior space. Also, without the required excavation, you can get the second-storey room at a more cost-effective rate than a standard ground-floor extension.

Side Extensions

These extensions add width to the side of your property. They can work well for homeowners with a large amount of space to expand into at the side of the house, such as a drive or alleyway.

Rear Extensions

This is an extension that’s added to the back of your property. Rear extensions can work well for customers in Guildford and Woking who have a large garden they can expand into. Many rear extension designs factor in this proximity to the garden and include French windows or similar glass installations. This makes the space feel ‘at one’ with the garden and allows more natural light to enter the property.

Wraparound Extensions

Sometimes referred to as L-shaped extensions, wraparound extensions do as they say. They wrap around the house with one section on the front or rear and another joined section on the side. Similar to a double-storey extension, this type of extension project helps you get the most out of your interior space, except this is achieved by building on the ground floor only rather than vertically.

Over-Garage Extensions

The last house extensions we will look at are over-garage extensions. Another type of extension that shares similarities with double-storey extensions, an over-garage extension helps you avoid using space around your home by instead building on top of a pre-existing garage. Please be aware that, depending on the design of your garage, these extensions may not always be suitable for construction on your property.
