GS Renovation builds house extensions throughout Hounslow, working with the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces and riverside homes that define the borough. Drawing on more than 30 years across TW3, TW4, TW5, TW7, TW8 and W4, we handle everything from foundations to final fit-out, whether you are extending in Isleworth, Brentford or towards Chiswick.
Side-return and rear extensions in Hounslow
The classic Hounslow extension fills in the side return beside the rear closet wing, widening a narrow Victorian kitchen into a bright open-plan space that runs the full width of the house. We dig and pour the foundations, allowing for any nearby trees and the London clay common across the borough, then build up in matching brick and tie the new roof into the existing structure.
Wrap-around extensions combine the side return with a rear projection to create a generous kitchen-diner, usually needing a steel beam where the original rear wall comes out. We manage the groundworks, the steel, the roof and the glazing as one job, and because the wall to your neighbour is a shared party wall, we help you serve the necessary party wall notices before we break ground in TW7 or TW8.
Planning and permitted development in Hounslow
Whether your extension is permitted development or needs a full planning application depends on the property and its size. Many single-storey rear extensions on Hounslow's terraces fall under permitted development rights, but homes in a conservation area near Chiswick House, Osterley Park or Syon Park, or any property that has already been extended, often need permission from Hounslow Council. We advise honestly on which route applies before you commit.
Either way, the structural build is governed by building regulations, so building control inspects the foundations, the steelwork, the insulation and the drainage as the work proceeds. We prepare the drawings, submit to Hounslow Council or a permitted development lawful use certificate where sensible, and coordinate the party wall side too, so your Brentford or Isleworth extension is fully compliant from footings to finish.
