Featuring quiet streets, a stunning park, and numerous trendy cafes and hangouts, it is no wonder that Queens Park is one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in London. With its beautiful homes and idyllic surroundings, Queens Park is also considered the perfect place to put down roots or raise a family.

But with growing families, come growing needs. Too often, homeowners are compelled to move because of cramped and uncomfortable living spaces.

Home extensions provide the simple solution of increasing the living space within your home without resorting to moving houses. And with the ultimate home extension specialists, these extensions are sure to upgrade your home, and bring comfort and luxury to your life.

A house extension is an incredible opportunity for property owners to upsize and upgrade their living spaces, to suit their needs and lifestyles, without having to incur the cost or inconvenience of moving houses.

Best of all, house extensions have the wonderful benefit of also increasing the value of a property by up to 20%!

Home extensions can be divided or categorised based on several parameters. However, based on the area of the property on which they are built, home extensions in Queens Park may be broadly classified into the following types:

Rear extensions

Built on the rear of a property, rear extensions are incredibly popular among homeowners due to the versatility they offer in terms of design and functionality. Rear extensions may be used to create kitchen extensions, guest rooms, office pods, or even playrooms.

Side return extensions

These extensions utilise the area that runs along the side of a property as well as a portion of the rear area. They do not take up too much of the valuable garden space and are therefore highly-prized among property owners. Side return extensions are used to create beautiful indoor-outdoor connections that help bring in an abundance of light and ventilation.

Wrap around extensions

Wrap around extensions are essentially a combination of rear and side extensions that creates an L-shaped structure that ‘wraps’ around the property. These extensions add a great deal of width and depth, and are therefore ideal for creating multiple rooms, large kitchen-diners, or even open floor plans.

Multi-storey extensions

Though more complex than single storey extensions, two storey extensions are a cost-effective solution to adding incredible floor space to a property. This is because they help double the square footage of the extension without doubling the roofing and excavation costs. Multi-storey extensions are useful in creating extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or even high-ceilinged living spaces.

The requirement for planning permission for house extensions in Queens Park is, in a large part, dependent upon the designs and dimensions of the proposed extensions. This is because house extensions that fall under permitted developments do not require planning permission.

However, permitted developments only include extensions that meet specific criteria and size limitations. For example, side extensions should not exceed more the 50% of the width of the original house, and single storey extensions should have a maximum height of 4m.

For a comprehensive understanding of the requirements for planning permission and the specifications associated with permitted developments, property owners could also visit the planning portal.

It is also important to remember that extensions built on properties listed in conservation areas will invariably require planning permission, irrespective of their dimensions.

In addition to planning permission, building regulations approval and party wall agreements must also be considered to ensure that the extension meets building guidelines and standards.

Home to beautiful examples of classical Victorian and Edwardian architecture, extensions constructed on properties in Queens Park should aim to seamlessly integrate with the existing structure while creating an ideal balance of contemporary comforts with timeless designs. Some of the most popular extension designs in Queens Park feature:

Kitchen extensions

An obvious favourite, kitchen extensions are ideal for converting small kitchen-diners into warm, open, and inviting spaces which are perfect for hosting intimate family dinners and large celebrations alike.

 

 

Loft conversions

Loft conversions help transform the awkward loft spaces into valuable and functional living space. The versatility of loft designs offers homeowners the chance to create additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or even office nooks and playrooms.

Garage conversions

Garage conversions help convert the often, ill-used garage space into additional living space, by creating offices, playrooms, guest rooms, home gyms, or even utility rooms. Incorporating the garage space into the interior layout of the property can also help you to design larger dining and kitchen areas.

Refurbishments

For homeowners that do not wish to extensively extend, it is still possible to transform the existing space via refurbishments. This involves remodelling the space to change the layout, creating open floor plans, and increasing the natural light that enters into the room through the addition of well-placed windows. All of this enables the creation of brighter and more spacious areas that better fit in to your lifestyle.

The cost of a home extension in Queens Park can range from £35,000 to £140,000. This is because the cost is dependent on a large number of factors including:

  • The size of the extension
  • The design/complexity of the extension
  • Location
  • Groundwork
  • Building materials
  • Fittings and fixtures
  • Specialists’ fees, etc.

How we deliver projects

Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.

1. Design

This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.

2. Planning

At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.

3. Technical

Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.

4. Pre-build

90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.

5. Build

One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.

6. Handover

As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
