A single-storey rear extension typically costs between £40,000 and £80,000. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes after a free survey.
How long does a home extension take?
Most single-storey extensions take 12–16 weeks. Two-storey extensions may take 16–24 weeks depending on complexity.
Can I stay in my home during the build?
In most cases yes — we work hard to minimise disruption to your daily life throughout the build process.
