Create the additional space your property needs with a professionally constructed home extension. We undertake extension building work from groundwork and structural construction through to the main building stages of the project.
Extension Types
Extensions We Build Across Sheffield
An extension can provide valuable additional living space without requiring you to move home. Whether you’re considering a larger kitchen, additional living area, utility space or a more substantial property transformation, speak to Extensions Sheffield about the building work involved.
Side Extensions
Making use of the space alongside the property, often to add a utility room, downstairs WC or a wider kitchen area.
Wraparound Extensions
A combination of rear and side extension that wraps around the property, creating a substantial open-plan space at the back of the house.
Kitchen Extensions
Extending to create a larger kitchen with room for dining and family space, often with glazed doors opening onto the garden.
Single-Storey Extensions
A straightforward way to add ground-floor living space without altering the roofline of the main property.
Two-Storey Extensions
Adding space on both floors — additional bedrooms, bathrooms or larger rooms upstairs with living space below.
The Building Work
What an Extension Involves
Extension building work runs from the groundwork and structural construction through to the main building stages of the project — including the brickwork that ties the new structure into the existing property.
Groundwork & foundations
Preparing the ground and forming the foundations the extension will sit on.
Structural construction
Building the structure of the extension, including any structural openings.
Extension brickwork
New masonry and blockwork, built to tie in with the existing property.
Roof structure & roofline
Roof construction and roofline work to connect the extension to the house.
Existing-property alterations
Forming openings and making good where the extension meets the original building.
