Home extensions are popular for clients seeking to increase living space and add value to their property without moving. There are several types of extensions, each with unique features and benefits, which our builders at PG Property Repairs & Renovations are happy to discuss with you in further detail. 

If you’re based in Worthing or any of the surrounding areas we cover and thinking of a new kitchen, downstairs bedroom and bathroom, or even a home office or cinema, there’s a design to suit you.

Side-Return Extensions

Side return extensions use the narrow strip of land along the side of a property, often found in terraced or semi-detached houses. These extensions typically expand the kitchen or create new utility spaces and home offices.

Utilisation of Wasted Space

These extensions transform underused side access routes into valuable living areas

Improved Layout

They expand cramped kitchens or living spaces, allowing for more functional and stylish layouts

Cost-Effective

Side-return home extensions are generally more affordable than full-width extensions due to the smaller area involved

Increased Property Value

Even though they’re smaller, they add value by increasing living space practically and unobtrusively

Rear-Facing Extensions

These popular extensions extend your property into the garden or patio area. They can be constructed as single or double-storey and typically involve adding new rooms or expanding existing ones, such as kitchens, dining rooms, or living areas.

Enhanced Living Space

Rear-facing extensions provide valuable additional space without altering your home’s layout

Improved Flow

They can enhance the flow of the house, creating more open-plan living areas that connect better with outdoor spaces

Natural Light

Large rear extensions often incorporate extensive glazing, such as bi-fold doors or skylights, bringing in abundant natural light

Versatility

Suitable for terraced, semi-detached, and detached property types, offering flexibility in design and use.

Double-Storey Extensions

These extensions involve adding two new floors to the existing structure, usually at the side or rear of the property. If a second storey is being added to an existing extension, foundation reinforcements may be required to support the additional weight.

Maximum Space

Double-storey extensions offer the most significant increase in living space, providing multiple new rooms such as bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas

Cost-Effective

While initially more expensive, the cost per square metre is lower than single-storey extensions, making them a more economical option in the long run

Increased Property Value

The substantial increase in space and functionality can significantly enhance your property’s market value.

Design Flexibility

These extensions provide extensive design possibilities, allowing for more creative and functional layouts

Wraparound Extensions

Wraparound extensions combine side and rear extensions, creating an L-shaped addition that significantly increases the ground floor area. This extension type often involves substantial structural modifications and will require planning permission.

Substantial Space Addition

These home extensions offer the most significant increase in ground-floor space, ideal for creating expansive open-plan living areas

Design Versatility

They offer our Worthing clients numerous design options, enabling the creation of multifunctional spaces such as combined kitchen-dining-living areas

Enhanced Natural Light

Large glazing options can be incorporated, flooding the new space with natural light and seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor areas

Increased Property Value

The significant enhancement in living space and modern layout can significantly boost your property’s market value.

In some cases, the options will depend on the current design of your Worthing home. Of course, choosing the best layout for your growing family, lifestyle changes, and budget is also essential.
