Types Of Home Extensions

The style of home extension you choose depends mainly on your individual requirements. The most common extension options are listed below, but at Go Plans we understand that you might have something unique in mind that fits the specific aesthetic of your home. Our in-house team often works on bespoke projects that are tailored to our clients’ individual preferences and style. If you have an idea in mind, our team will work diligently to bring your vision to life.

Side Extension

Expand your home width-ways with a side extension, perfect for creating extra living space, a larger kitchen, or additional bedrooms. Side extensions are an excellent way to maximise the potential of your property without reducing the outdoor space.

Rear Extension

Ideal for expanding your living room/kitchen, or adding a dining room/conservatory. Choosing this type of extension means utilising excess space at the back of the property, without altering how your home looks from the front or side.

Side Return Extension

Popular in terraced or semi-detached homes, side-return extensions are perfect for enlarging your kitchen, or adding space to a dining area with direct access to the garden. The option to add glass and skylights to side-return extensions means that not only is there additional space, but extra lighting within the room.

Wrap Around Extension

A wrap-around is a combination of side and rear extensions. It creates a much larger amount of space, that spans multiple sides of your property. Choosing this option also enables you to make the most of natural light into the property.

2-Storey Side Extension

Similar to single-storey extensions, 2-storey extensions are ideal if you have unused space to the side of the house. This type of extension provides a great deal of extra space, with options for adding bedrooms on the upper floor, whilst extending existing living areas, or adding an office or bathroom, on the ground floor.

2-Storey Rear Extension

This type of extension also provides a huge amount of extra space – ideal if you’re wanting an extra couple of bedrooms and a larger family area downstairs. With lots of natural light already, you can also add doors to the back of the extension, meaning you are able to go straight into the garden.

Blending Into An Existing Property

You may be worried about how a new addition will look on your home. At Go Plans we will work to help you achieve the final look you desire; whether that be a seamless integration to your existing style, or alternatively a bold stand-out design that could modernise your property.

How Long Does It Take?

We will discuss timelines with you, as it differs depending on the materials used, the complexity and the size of the extension. As a rough guide, a one-storey extension can take around 4-5 months to build.

I had the pleasure of working with oliver and his team, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed by their creativity, attention to detail, and overall professionalism. This designer's ability to blend functionality with aesthetic appeal in their architectural designs is truly remarkable

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the past few years my partner and I have been talking about extending onto our lounge and turning it into a dining area, as well as a place to perform our music to friends and family.
We didn’t know where to start and found it very daunting, so a friend suggested finding project management which made total sense.

I came across a few companies that offered some kind of project management, but after speaking to one of the team at Go Plans I found they were the only company that offered a bespoke service from start to finish.

Once we spoke about the cost of project management, I initially thought it was a little pricy however, once they broke it down, I realized they were actually very reasonable as they end up saving you a fair amount of money, so for me it was a no brainer and decided to go for it.

I am now at the tendering stage, and it is going very smoothly and importantly stress free for both my partner and me.

The team at Go Plans are very attentive and make you feel totally at ease as they have a professional team member for every area of the build.

To sum it up so far, I am extremely happy as they really do cover absolutely everything and each team member I have spoken to is friendly, professional and very good at their job.

I look forward to continuing the project with Go Plans as I know I am in very good hands.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Go Plans made our lives so much less stressful during the early stages of our single storey wraparound extension. They did all of the architectural plans, structural engineering/building regulation plans for our contractors and also dealt with building control matters. Meeting with their team in person and via Zoom was stress free, flexible and really put us at ease. They were also competitively priced. Would recommend and use them again on a build in future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had building floor plans drawn up by Go Plans, these were done to a high standard and completed on time. Go Plans also helped me with structural calculations which were passed on to my builder as I await planning permission before work commences on my garage conversion project. This was also applied for on my behalf by Go Plans. Everything was explained to me in high levels of detail and as someone who has never carried out building work on this scale before, it was also incredibly helpful to have GoPlans assisting me every step of the way. Overall I would thoroughly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Go Plans to prepare our planning application, building regulations and structural engineering plans for our extension project. They did an excellent job and were very helpful and efficient.

They came to measure up our house to create 'existing' drawings. Their architect then helped us develop our proposals and created drawings and 3D images. After Go Plans secured planning permission, they also advised on building regulations matters and prepared and supported that application.

We would recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Go plans provided a quick and streamlined design experience with well timed handovers between different professionals. Our plan did however fall short of the planning authority's expectations, due to fire regulations, and after accepting the outcome Go plans helped us out free of charge with necessary adjustments. I would recommend Go plans for their quick and easy service, especially for smaller jobs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Go plans drew up my loft  conversion and helped me with getting planning permission for the loft conversion. They can support with whole process from drawing plans to securing the builders for the job. They explained everything well and answered all my questions, which there were lots of as this was my first time. I would recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had a fantastic experience with Karim as the structural engineer. He is very knowledgeable, personable and happy to help with anything and everything. He has guided me on my build and I couldn't have done it without him. Any project would be better off with him on it!
