Home Extensions

house extension

At MRM Building Services home extensions are our favourite kind of project. A home extension lets us use all our building skills and experience to provide a new and carefully crafted space to suit your home, family and budget.

Don’t just take our word for it - we’ve built home extensions for many happy customers and you can read their testimonials here.

Recognise this?

  • Once you had the perfect sized home. Then your family grew and the space you had got taken over.
  • Or your family grew up, moved out and you downsized to a smaller house, but your family still come for dinner and stay overnight.
  • Don’t you wish you still had that dining room or spare bedroom, or maybe just a bit more space?

Adding a home extension is a great way to give you and your family more desperately-needed space. It’s usually less disruptive and cheaper than selling up and moving to another house - all you need is some help and advice from us here at MRM Building Services, and a limitless imagination.

What kind of home extension do you need?

Let’s take you through the more usual types:

Single Storey Side or Rear Extension

A single storey home extension can be at the side and/or rear of your home.  You can also build extensions to a free standing garage or existing outbuilding.  The design of your home extension will depend on the style of your home, the area you live and what you want to do with the space.  You can have a flat or pitched roof.  A pitched roof usually looks better and lasts longer but you need to consider access and maintenance access to upper floor windows, the main roof and guttering.  For your safety, your home extension design must include an emergency fire escape route.

Two Storey Home Extensions

Two storey home extensions are subject to planning permission which will consider the age and type of home you live in, if it’s a listed building, a conservation area or if it would cause a significant loss of sunlight to your neighbours, etc.  Don’t worry too much about this.  A key part of our service is to help you through the design and planning stages of your ideal home extension.  Our design service always matches the external character of your house and neighbourhood, taking your own ideas into consideration.  We look to develop a comprehensive plan to design and build a home extension that will take into consideration your needs for:

  • As close match as possible to the original housing materials
  • Scale, size and in proportion with your existing house
  • Type, styles and materials of doors and windows
  • Roof form, angle of pitch, shape and colour.

All, of course, subject to the requirements of your final design.

Loft Conversion

If you don’t have the space to build to the side or to the back or front of your home, you might like to consider extending upwards with a loft conversion: another way of adding extra space to the home you love.

Every project, from the smallest kitchen extension to a multiple extension that doubles the size of your home, receives the same standard of attention.  We offer a comprehensive support package including providing architectural plans and liaising with the planning department and building control, ensuring you can trust that your finished extension will be delivered as successfully, efficiently and elegantly as possible.

At MRM Building Services, we’re passionate about delivering a beautiful new home to your meet your lifestyle needs.
