A single storey extension is the most popular way to get more room without moving: a bigger kitchen-diner, a utility room, a downstairs WC or a home office. We design and build them across Aldershot, Farnham, Fleet, Farnborough, Camberley, Tongham, Guildford and the villages in between, and we look after the whole job from drawings to handover.
Which type of extension?
Rear extension. The most common choice. Ideal for opening up a kitchen-diner, usually with bifold or French doors onto the garden.

Side-return extension. Uses the narrow strip down the side of the house to widen a kitchen or create a utility room or WC.
Wraparound extension. A rear and side extension in one, giving the biggest change to your ground floor layout.

What we look after
- Drawings, planning and building regulations. We do the drawings or work with trusted architects and structural engineers.
- Structural work done properly. Steels set so there are no bulkheads, leaving a flat, level ceiling through the new space.
- One team, start to finish. We manage every trade, delivery and building control inspection, and act as Principal Contractor under CDM 2015.
- Clear pricing. An itemised quote up front, then a weekly breakdown of the work done and the costs.
- The details. Lighting, sockets and switches, plumbing and heating, doors and windows, storage and layout – all planned around how you’ll use the room.
Common questions
How much does a single storey extension cost?
Every extension is different, so we don’t publish a single figure. Our instant price calculator gives you a guide figure in a couple of minutes, and after a site visit we give you an itemised quote.
Do I need planning permission?
Many single storey extensions fall under permitted development, so no planning application is needed – but it depends on the size and your property. Building regulations approval is always needed. We’ll tell you which applies and handle the applications for you.
How long does it take?
Our recent single storey extensions have taken between about four and six months on site, depending on size.
Can we stay in the house while you build?
Yes – most of our clients live at home throughout. We plan the order of work so you keep a kitchen, bathroom and heating for as long as possible.
