A side extension is sometimes described as a kitchen extension as it’s often the room that is closest to the outside space being used in this time or project. The kitchen is the heart of any home so it makes sense to add space here, whether your family is expanding or you’re seeking to add value to your home.
A side extension is a smart and practical way to increase the size of your home without sacrificing your garden space. This type of extension can completely transform how your property works for you.

A side extension is built along the side of your property, often making use of unused outdoor space such as a driveway or side return. The side return space is the narrow, often unused alleyway running along the side of the ground floor of terraced or semi-detached homes. It typically sits alongside the rear “outrigger” kitchen, creating an L-shaped garden. It is frequently used for storing bins, bikes, or as a walkway – and if that space is going to waste then please let us help you get more from it!
This type of extension is especially popular with:
A side extension can be designed to blend seamlessly with your existing property while creating additional living space that feels bright, open, and connected to the rest of your home.
The result is often a larger open-plan kitchen with more natural light, as well as a better connection to the garden.

Many London homes have unused space at the side of the property that offers huge potential. Yes it’s helpful to have somewhere to keep the wheelie bins, but that square footage could be working much harder for you. A side extension allows you to increase your floor space and improve the overall layout of your home.
The most popular uses for side extensions are:
Moving house in London can be expensive and disruptive. Extending your current home allows you to create the extra space you need while staying in the area you already love.
A side extension can often provide the additional room your family needs without the cost of upsizing to a larger property.
An immaculately designed side extension can significantly enhance the appeal and value of your home, particularly when it improves the flow and functionality of the ground floor. For many homeowners, it’s a double win. An investment that improves both everyday living and any future resale potential.
Living in the UK is grey enough, so a side extension is an ideal opportunity to dramatically increase the amount of natural light in the heart of your home.
We frequently design side extensions with the following elements, helping create brighter, more welcoming spaces that feel larger and more connected to the garden.
We provide a complete design-and-build service, managing your project from start to finish. We work closely with homeowners throughout the process to ensure every extension is tailored to their property, lifestyle, and budget – and our free quotes are transparent in what budget goes where.

You should be aware that some London wraparound extensions may require planning permission depending on the size of the extension, your property type, your location in London and therefore your local authority, and whether your home is in a conservation area.
Our team can guide you through the process and advise on what permissions may be required before work begins. We aim to make the entire process as straightforward and stress-free as possible!
