House Extensions London

Professional house extension design and build across Central and Greater London, adding valuable living space to your home. GS Renovation — trusted, professional, 30+ years experience.

A house extension is one of the most effective ways to add space and value to your London home. Whether you need a larger kitchen, an additional bedroom, or a home office, extending your property is often more practical and cost-effective than moving. GS Renovation has been designing and building house extensions across London for over 30 years, delivering projects that seamlessly integrate with existing properties while providing the additional space modern families need.

London's diverse housing stock — from Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis to inter-war detached homes and post-war properties — each presents unique opportunities and challenges for extension projects. Our team brings deep local knowledge to every project, understanding which extension types work best for each property style and navigating London's complex planning landscape with confidence.

Our house extension service is fully comprehensive, covering architectural design, planning applications, structural engineering, building control, and all construction work from foundations to final decoration. We manage every trade and coordinate every stage, delivering a seamless extension project that causes minimal disruption to your daily life.

Rear Extensions

Rear extensions are the most common type of house extension in London, typically used to enlarge kitchens and create open-plan kitchen-dining-living spaces that connect to the garden. We build single-storey and double-storey rear extensions, incorporating features such as bi-fold doors, roof lanterns, and structural glazing that flood the new space with natural light.

  • Single and double-storey rear extensions
  • Bi-fold and sliding door installation
  • Roof lanterns and structural glazing
  • Open-plan kitchen-dining-living layouts
  • Garden landscaping and external works

Side Return Extensions

Side return extensions are particularly popular in London's terraced and semi-detached houses, where a narrow passage or alleyway runs along one side of the property. By building into this space, you can significantly increase the width of your ground-floor rooms — typically the kitchen — creating a much more generous and usable layout. Many of our London side return projects are completed under permitted development rights, avoiding the need for a full planning application.

  • Side return infill extensions
  • Wraparound rear and side extensions
  • Permitted development assessment
  • Structural steelwork and RSJ installation
  • Seamless integration with existing structure

Planning & Building Regulations

Navigating London's planning system can be complex, but our experienced team handles every aspect of the regulatory process. We assess whether your extension falls within permitted development rights or requires a full planning application, prepare and submit all necessary documentation, and manage the building control process from initial notice to completion certificate.

  • Permitted development assessment
  • Full planning application preparation
  • Conservation area applications
  • Building control submissions and inspections
  • Party wall agreement management
