How much does a house extension cost?

Extension Questions Answered — Part 1
Thinking about extending your home? 🏡


One of the first questions people ask us is:
“How much does a house extension actually cost?”


The short answer: there isn’t one fixed price — even for extensions with the same square footage
The cost can change significantly depending on:
* The size of the extension
* Single or double storey
* Ground conditions and foundations
* Structural steel required
* Windows, bifolds and rooflights
* Kitchen or bathroom installation
* Plumbing and electrics
* Flooring and finishes* Access to the property


Two extensions can be exactly the same size but cost very different amounts depending on the specification and work involved.


That’s why when comparing builders, it’s important not to look at the bottom-line figure alone.


A cheaper quote may simply have more things excluded.


The question to ask isn’t just “How much is it?” — it’s “What exactly am I getting for that price?”

P.S. We offer FIXED-PRICE quotes — so there are no nasty surprises later.
