Home Extensions in Worthing and the Surrounding Areas
Talk To Our Builders Today About Home Improvements
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.
