Rear Extension
Tailored Design Solutions for Modern Living.
A rear extension offers a transformative opportunity to reimagine your home’s layout, functionality, and connection to outdoor spaces. While Victorian and Edwardian properties in London are prime candidates due to their architectural flexibility, this service is equally adaptable to mid-century
homes, terraced houses, or even apartments with ground-floor access. Beyond simply adding square footage, a thoughtfully designed rear extension can redefine how your household interacts, works, and relaxes, blending contemporary living with the character of your existing property.
Navigating London’s Planning Rules
While many rear extensions qualify under Permitted Development, conservation areas, Article 4 directives or listed building status often need expert handling. We specialise in London’s local policies, from Islington’s heritage rules to Hackney’s eco-standards, managing pre-application advice and designs that complement streetscapes—think recessed glazing or brickwork matching period facades—to streamline planning permission.
Light & Material Design
Maximising natural light is key. Alongside bi-folds and skylights, we use angled roof lanterns, clerestory windows and internal glazing to brighten deeper spaces. Materials balance aesthetics and efficiency: thermally broken aluminium reduces heat loss, while slim rooflines protect privacy. For period homes, reclaimed bricks or custom mouldings blend old and new seamlessly.

All-Season Comfort & Sustainability
Extensions should work year-round. Passive design features, like south-facing glazing for winter sun and cantilevered shades for summer, boost efficiency. Options such as air-source heat pumps, high-performance insulation or green roofs cut energy use and align with London’s zero-carbon goals. Heated decking or retractable screens make outdoor spaces usable in any weather.
Seamless Process, Minimal Disruption
Our full-service approach keeps your routine undisturbed. After a feasibility check, 3D visuals let you explore your design virtually. Construction prioritises robust solutions—steel beams or SIPs for open spans—with clear updates throughout. Finishing touches, from integrated lighting to bespoke joinery, reflect your taste.
Value That Endures
A well-designed rear extension can boost your home’s value by up to 20% in London’s market. We focus on timeless aesthetics and quality builds that suit both your lifestyle and future buyers’ expectations.
Dreaming of a brighter kitchen or garden-connected living? A rear extension redefines your home’s potential. Let us create a space that adapts with you—thoughtfully designed, meticulously crafted.
