What Sets Us Apart
Our local knowledge enables us to understand Norfolk’s planning requirements, traditional building styles, and materials. This expertise helps us create building extensions in the county that blend seamlessly with your existing home.
From side-return and rear extensions to loft conversions and double-storey additions, we manage every step with care and attention to detail.
Why extend your Norfolk home?
For many homeowners, moving house isn’t always the best or most affordable option.
A well-planned extension gives you the space you need while allowing you to stay in the home and community you already love.

Create more living space without moving
Extensions are one of the most effective ways to add extra space to your property. Whether you need a larger kitchen, an additional bedroom, or a home office, an extension allows you to expand your home without the upheaval of selling and buying elsewhere.
Increase your home’s value
A high-quality extension can significantly increase the market value of your property. In Norfolk’s competitive housing market, adding extra square footage and modern features often makes your home more attractive to buyers and can deliver a strong return on investment.
Adapt your home for growing families
As families grow, space can quickly become limited. A double-storey extension can add much-needed bedrooms and bathrooms, while a rear extension can create the open-plan living areas that modern families love.
Make better use of your land or layout
Many homes in Norfolk have extensive gardens, side returns, or unused garage spaces that can be converted into functional living areas. Extensions make the most of your existing footprint, providing practical space without compromising the character of your home.
Personalise your property to fit your lifestyle
You may want a light-filled kitchen-diner for entertaining, a quiet study to work from home, or a sunroom with views of the Norfolk countryside. An extension allows you to tailor your home to your lifestyle, creating a space that works exactly how you want it to.
Types Of Extension
We design and construct a wide range of extensions to suit different homes and lifestyles.
Some of the most popular options include:

Double-Storey Extensions
Add extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office while maximising your property’s footprint.
Conservatories & Orangeries
Bring in natural light and enjoy a seamless connection between your home and garden.
Our extension process
Building an extension is a significant investment, so we keep the process clear, structured, and stress-free. From the first conversation to the final handover, you’ll always know what to expect.
1. Free site visit and consultation
We start with a no-obligation visit to your Norfolk home to understand your ideas, needs, and budget. This stage is all about listening to you and offering practical advice on what’s possible for your property.
2. Design and planning stage
Once we’ve agreed on the scope, we work with you to create a design that fits your lifestyle and your home. At this stage, we’ll also outline timescales and provide a detailed, transparent quote.
3. Handling planning permission and approvals
Some extensions in Norfolk fall under permitted development rights, while others need planning permission or building control approval. We guide you through this process, prepare the necessary paperwork, and liaise with local authorities where required.
4. Construction and project management
Our trusted tradespeople handle all aspects of the build, from groundwork and structural work to electrical and plumbing installations. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact throughout, ensuring everything stays on track and any questions are answered promptly.
5. Final finishing touches and handover
Once construction is complete, we focus on the details that make your extension feel like part of your home, from plastering and flooring to decorating and fixtures. We only sign off once you’re satisfied, leaving you with a seamless extension that’s ready to enjoy.
