Types of House Extensions
Every property is unique, and the right extension depends on your space, layout, and goals. We offer a full range of house extensions in Ealing, each tailored to maximise your home’s potential.
Side Return Extension
Perfect for Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes, a side return extension makes use of unused space at the side of your property. It’s ideal for expanding a kitchen or creating a bright, open-plan dining area.
Rear Extension
A rear extension pushes out into your garden to add extra living space. It’s the most popular option for families wanting a larger kitchen-diner, living room, or entertainment space.
Wrap-Around Extension
For homeowners looking for maximum space, a wrap-around extension combines side return and rear extensions. This option creates a seamless, modern open-plan living area.
Double-Storey Extensions
If you need additional bedrooms or bathrooms, a two-storey house extension allows you to expand both upstairs and downstairs. It’s ideal for growing families or homeowners looking to future-proof their property.
Conservatory & Glass Extensions
Modern glass extensions bring in natural light and create a feeling of spaciousness. They can be combined with kitchens or living areas to create contemporary, stylish spaces.
