More and more people are choosing to extend their homes rather than move. Whether it's a conservatory, a new kitchen diner, building over a garage, or a full two storey extension, it's become a popular option. We take you through the whole process from initial ideas through planning, design, and finishing off all the details. We cover different types of extension, managing the build and keeping costs under control.
Tell us about your planned extension and find out whether you need planning permission or can build under permitted development.

With house prices rising and moving becoming more expensive, extending makes real sense. Our articles are written by people who know what they're doing and have hands on experience.
There's nothing scary about doing an extension as long as you know what you're doing. ExtensionBuild walks you through it step by step.
