Side Extensions

Side Extensions

For many reasons, moving home in order to find more space may not necessarily be the answer. Instead, why not consider extending the space you already have? Certainly, an extension can add value to your property and may represent a cost effective solution to meeting your space needs. The benefits of doing this include:

  • Add value to your present home
  • Avoid the costs, effort and time associated with moving
  • The ability to create greater living space to meet your present needs
  • The ability to future proof your home

In certain circumstances, it may be that you do not even need planning permission!
