The Advantages of Adding an Extension to a House

  • Designed Bespoke to Your Needs.
  • Increases Property Value.
  • Creates Additional Living Space.
  • Various Room Choices.
  • Easier Than Moving Home.
  • Can include A Kitchen Extension.
  • Add value to your property

One of the most obvious reasons for extending your home is that it increases the value of your property. At WHS Builders we work with several architects and they can provide you with creative and innovative design solutions that are practical, pleasing and with a sympathetic style of your existing house.  Working from their designs we can build the perfect extension for your needs.

Extension Types

Single-storey extensions will extend your property outwards, normally into the garden or patio area. This is by far the most common type of extension and is a proven way of creating additional living space.

Multi-storey extensions are built up and out usually to the same height as your existing roof, commonly covering two floors, adding extra downstairs and upstairs areas to a home.

Over-structure extensions are built on top of existing buildings such as a garage or an existing single storey structure. These can be problematical as site investigations on the existing structures have to be carried out to determine if there are issues with supporting walls to take into consideration and the strength of existing foundations.

Porches are fairly self-explanatory. They will give you a small amount of additional space to the front or side of your house and are great for providing a ‘cold’ barrier between the house and the outside world, helping preserve the heat in the home by having an extra space between the house and the chilly world outside.  

Conservatories remain popular choices to extend your living space, but the current trend is to use less glass, particularly in the roof section to help maintain temperature stability. Early conservatories were notoriously difficult to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter, resulting in companies setting up especially to replace the roof glassed area with more traditional roofing materials.

WHS did brickwork, foundations and paving for us in 2019. All completed efficiently and to a good standard. On the basis of this work on our conservatory in 2019, we approached WHS and asked them in February 2021 to construct a porch to go on our back door. They have also built a raised patio in our front garden this year. We spend a fair amount of time in the garden and our border collie gets very dirty in the woods at the end of our road, so we figured having a porch to get cleaned up before entering the 'real' house would be useful. We are very pleased with the end result. The work undertaken is of good quality and the price paid reflected good value in our view. In February 2021 we had a back door. It is now July 2021 and we have a back door and a very useful porch. Thank you WHS.

We needed a chimney breast removing, new ceiling and loft hatch, and all walls skimmed for a new kitchen installation. Wayne provided a prompt quote, and was able to start work the following week. He managed the electrical work, plumbing and joinery in an efficient manner. The old kitchen was removed, and all rubbish was removed promptly. Within the quote Wayne sourced a vertical radiator and plinth heater, and also laid the new flooring for us. Wayne and his team were friendly and professional, and cleaned up any mess every day. Thanks to Wayne and his team for making our kitchen look incredibly smart.Services: Electrical work, Demolition, Plumbing fixture installation, Project management, Fan installation, Repair flooring, Furniture assembly, Interior finishing, Flooring

WHS demolished a conservatory and replaced with a flat roofed ground floor extension, approx,' 6m long by 2m deep by 3m in height, as well as internal works such as stripping out enlarging an existing kitchen and fitting new, creating two en suites and boarding out a loft. The job took slightly longer than predicted, but given these difficult Covid affected times, it wasn't a surprise. The work was carried out to a very high standard, by a good set of lads, headed by Wayne, who never failed to be anything less than infectiously positive. I will be asking WHS to quote for further work when funds permit !
