Extension Builders in Chigwell

Chigwell has a wide mix of family homes, larger detached properties and character houses, so every extension needs to be planned around the individual property rather than treated as a standard build.

Many homeowners in Chigwell want to create larger, brighter spaces that improve everyday living while still feeling in keeping with the existing home.

You may want to extend the rear of the property for an open-plan kitchen and dining area, add extra living space for a growing family or create a more flexible layout that works better for modern use.

We help clients think through the practical details early, including layout, structure, access, finish level and how the new extension will connect with the rest of the home.

Types of House Extensions We Build in Chigwell

The right extension depends on the property, available space, planning position and how you want to use the finished room.

We build a range of house extensions in Chigwell, from compact rear additions to larger home transformations.

Rear Extensions

A rear extension can make better use of the space at the back of your home and create a stronger connection with the garden.

For Chigwell properties, rear extensions are often used to create larger kitchens, dining areas and open-plan living spaces with more natural light.

A carefully planned rear extension can improve the flow of the ground floor while preserving the character of the existing property.

Kitchen Extensions

A kitchen extension is a strong choice if your current kitchen feels too small, enclosed or disconnected from the rest of the home.

We can help create a larger kitchen and dining space designed around cooking, entertaining and family life.

Kitchen extensions can also work well alongside wider refurbishment, especially when the goal is to modernise the whole ground-floor layout.

Single-Storey Extensions

A single-storey extension can add valuable ground-floor space without changing the upper level of the property.

These extensions are often used for open-plan kitchens, garden rooms, family rooms, utility areas and more practical everyday living spaces.

Our Single Storey Extensions service covers everything from smaller rear additions to substantial ground-floor transformations.

Double-Storey Extensions

A double-storey extension can be suitable when you need extra space both downstairs and upstairs.

Depending on the property and planning requirements, this could provide a larger kitchen or living space downstairs while creating additional bedrooms, bathrooms or office space upstairs.

Explore our Double Storey Extensions service.

Wraparound Extensions

A wraparound extension can transform the ground floor by combining rear and side extension space.

This type of extension can be ideal when the existing layout feels restrictive and the aim is to create a more open, connected and practical living area.
