GS Renovation designs and builds extensions across Uxbridge, where the interwar semis and modern homes often sit on generous plots with room to grow. Drawing on more than 30 years of building in UB8, we handle the foundations, the steelwork, the roof and the full fit-out, so your new space feels part of the house rather than bolted on.
Rear and side-return extensions in Uxbridge
The wide plots typical of Uxbridge's 1930s and interwar houses lend themselves to rear extensions and to filling the side passage that runs alongside so many semis. A single storey rear extension can open the kitchen into a bright kitchen-diner, while a wrap-around scheme combines the rear and the side return for a much larger ground floor. We dig and pour the foundations, build the shell, install the steel where walls come out and tie the new roof neatly into the existing.
Whether your Uxbridge project falls under permitted development or needs a full planning application depends on the property. Many detached and semi-detached homes in UB8 have permitted development rights for a modest rear extension, but corner plots, previous additions and any work to the front usually push it into a planning application to Hillingdon Council. We advise on which route applies before any drawings are finalised.
Double storey extensions on Uxbridge plots
Where the plot allows, a double storey extension adds a larger kitchen or living space below and a bedroom or bathroom above, making far better use of the generous gardens found across much of Uxbridge. We assess the existing foundations, deepen or underpin where the loads demand it, and carry the new upper floor on properly sized steel beams tied back into the original structure of the interwar house.
A two-storey addition almost always needs a planning application to Hillingdon Council rather than relying on permitted development, and where the flank wall sits near the boundary with the adjoining semi, the Party Wall Act comes into play. We manage the planning submission, the building regulations, the party wall notices and the full fit-out, so decoration, heating and services are all finished by the same team you started with.
