Home » House Extensions
Does your cramped London home need more space? GO BIG PROJECTS LTD specialises in quality house extensions that help make a homeowner’s dreams a reality.
Our experts can help customers expand a semi-detached house, modular home, and more. Our process for adding an extension is exciting and won’t harm your financial security.
Homes in Greater London come in all shapes and sizes. Our experts always find a way to meet your goals and exceed your expectations, no matter the layout or scale of the project.
Expansions don’t have to feel restricted even with a semi-detached house. Hiring the right design help means you can incorporate any of the following:
A loft conversion creates more space by optimising unused space near the top of the home. The open ledge or platform makes for the perfect guest bedroom or office space.
Lofts work well in structures with vaulted ceilings. While they technically don’t extend the property, they significantly reduce wasted space. In some situations, you can opt for an open floor plan, which still allows for privacy but lets the loft user maintain a line of sight to other areas in the home.
Expanding only one storey provides a budget-friendly way to add more space even if homes have multiple floors. A ground-floor extension leaves the upper levels cosy while creating more room in the living areas. Prioritise this option when you’re worried about obtaining permits for second-storey work or want to add the most value to your homes for the lowest cost.
Consider a front extension if a home has ample space between the curb and the building. Do you find the home makes a bland first impression and doesn’t have enough room?
Expanding the entrance hall can reduce crowding when visitors come, grant a place to store coats and boots, and give you more room to greet guests. Adding a bay window creates a beautiful reading space or a bench to watch the rain fall. It provides incredible character to an otherwise bland building.
Increasing a garage’s interior infuses it with a new style. You’ll also appreciate the added storage space to hold seasonal or seldom-used belongings.
When a home sits on a large property, it provides the opportunity to expand into the garden. This is a great situation for homes built near the street that don’t have room for a front addition. From an extra bedroom to a family room, the area is hidden from view, so use it for any purpose!
Kitchens and dining rooms significantly improve a home’s value. Food is a foundational aspect of the human experience. An expanded kitchen and dining area help the family and their guests embrace it.
These rooms are filled with memories of chopping vegetables at the counter and gathering around the table for a Mothering Sunday meal. However, inadequate space limits the number of people you can entertain.
Poor layout in the kitchen makes food preparation more of a chore than a creative expression of love. Consider expanding the cooking and eating area with the following premium options:
The living space functions as the centre of family life. It provides an area where families can do everything from watching a movie to hosting a party. Expanding it lets more people sit and broadens versatility.
Consider adding a built-in TV you can hide for some undistracted family time. A large sectional couch has space for everyone to stretch out and talk about good times. Our design experts help create the perfect layout and features to represent your style and needs.
Homeowners should consider investing in house extensions because they grant significant benefits to the property and family.
The most obvious benefit of extending a house is the increased living space it provides. Common goals we help achieve include:
No matter a homeowner’s needs, our design experts find a way to turn those dreams into reality.
How much value does an extension add? Architecture for London estimates that quality additions increase the overall value of a home by between 10% and 20% on average. Space is at a premium in the city, so any additional room a home provides gives it a competitive edge over comparable properties.
Single-storey expansions usually require the lowest investment, while basements are the most expensive. Kitchens and lavatories are two of the best options for increasing a home’s worth.
Living in a cramped space never feels comfortable. Everyone can have more personal space and make the home feel less cluttered by increasing the area in a bedroom, living space, or kitchen. A pleasant house helps you recover from stress, sleep more soundly, and enjoy a better overall quality of life.
Expanding provides the perfect opportunity to infuse an outdated space with fresh style. Updating a room also creates a better layout. For example, if the kitchen sink is too far from the stove, expanding the area allows you to move them closer together.
Does a room feel drafty or take extra effort to heat or cool? Consider installing new windows, improved insulation, and energy-efficient devices.
You’re already increasing the home’s property value. Heightened efficiency offers another way to save money in the long term by lowering monthly utility bills and extending the life expectancy of your appliances.

Yes, many house extensions are worth it and can add significant value to a home. Also, consider the other benefits it provides while you still live in the home.

What happens when a homeowner wants house extensions? GO BIG PROJECTS LTD takes the following steps to ensure consistent results and satisfaction.
You can use our booking form online, on our website to book a consultation call at a time and date that suits you best. Our consultation call is to gain an in-depth understanding of what you would like to achieve or what the project idea is.
The consultation call with a member of our team who will talk with you in-depth about your project. Analysing requirements, budgets, timescales, possibilities and our process in more detail. After consultation call we can schedule site meeting at your location.
During the consultation call you will receive a quote based on your specification and requirements, and you will have various options to go ahead with our services if you are ready.
Building projects that involve home extensions, home renovations and loft conversions will require a full measured survey of the existing property and surrounding site. We can then produce a set of accurate survey drawings using CAD
We begin by creating a design plan that blends the homeowner’s goals and style with our knowledge and expertise. We help establish a realistic budget and timeline to set reasonable expectations for a completion date. During this phase, we apply for the proper permits, including the planning application, which grants permission to start the process.. The city requires party wall agreements for any addition that is on a shared property line. You’ll need this if we’re working near a common wall of a semi-detached house.. This step also includes familiarising the crew and homeowner with building regulations. London has implemented eco-friendly building codes in recent years. Partnering with us means you stay compliant and never experience a complication.
Once planning permission has been granted the next stage is Building Control. These drawings are very detailed and show exactly how and with what materials the new building or extension is going to be constructed. A full set of Building Regulation drawings
When all approvals have been granted the structural process will start. This is an important part of the design as the drawings will present a clear scope of how to achieve the construction of the project.
Generally any structural alteration within 3 meters of a Party Wall will require a party wall agreement and notices. We offer full Party Wall services.
We can project manage your whole project on your behalf including design and build stages. Take the risk and uncertainty away from your project
This is the longest phase and can take weeks or months, depending on the scope of the expansion. This step consists of four clearing phases:
With all the walls framed and utilities installed, the contractor finishes the features that bring the new room to life. They enclose the walls, floors, and ceiling and add a layer of paint or wallpaper. They also add all the fixtures and connect any appliances if the expansion requires it.
We don’t overlook the exterior. The crew handles the roofing, landscaping, and siding to ensure it is visually consistent with the rest of the home. Your new space will look perfect inside and out.
Once we finish everything, you’ll receive the certificates, records, and documentation. We perform one final walk-through so that everything meets our standards and exceeds your expectations. Feel free to ask any questions or express any concerns the contractor can address.
