Home Extensions in Thorpe Bay

If you’ve outgrown your home’s existing living areas and a conservatory isn’t the right fit for your home, we also offer made-to-measure home extensions across Essex and beyond as part of our extension buying process. So you don’t even need to consider moving! Whether you wish to extend your home to accommodate a new family room, kitchen extension, or just to enlarge your floorplan for more comfortable living, this is the ideal solution to transform how you use your home.

What are home extensions?

Put simply a home extension is exactly how it sounds. An expansion of your home that will meld with the current exterior and interior, feeling like it’s always been there. Of course, if you want it to stand out, we can customise it to your exact specifications. Not only will it really elevate your home, but it will also add significant value to your home; extensions typically offer a return on investment of around 12% of the property value when sold, making extension prices even better value for money!

    High-performance roof options for your home extension Thorpe Bay

    The beauty of home extensions is that they can seamlessly add to with your home's current exterior, making the additional living space look like it has always been a part of your property. With both tiled and glass roofs available for your extension, we can design the perfect solution to match your home.
    Tiled roofs are available in a number of attractive colours and finishes, so you can be sure to find the right option for your extension. Not only are they incredibly robust and resistant to the harsh weathers with their fully-insulated designs and weatherproofing tests, but they also offer excellent thermal capabilities. This will keep your extension a comfortable temperature 365 days of the year.
    Glass roofs will enable you to instantly brighten up your new extension, without compromising on its energy efficiency or security. Our high-performance glazing boasts self-cleaning abilities and solar cleaning that repels the sun’s rays when it reaches an optimum temperature inside. You can choose from a range of decorative finishes and beam features to flourish your new roof to truly make it your own.

    Reduce your energy bills with a house extension Thorpe Bay

    Not only will a modern house extension let your family enjoy more desired space in your current home, but it can also reduce your energy bills due to its innovative thermal capabilities. We incorporate fully-insulated walls and pioneering under cladding in our extension builds, meaning they’ll absorb the sunrays from outside during the cooler months, without letting the draughts enter.

    Our advanced glazing can achieve incredible A-rated window energy ratings; the dense glass panels that encompass argon gas will retain the interior warmth, whilst letting the cold escape. Our high-quality range of award-winning windows and doors can be included in the extension design, providing additional energy efficiency benefits with their innovative manufacturing that will not only improve your carbon footprint, but add kerb appeal to your home.

    Types of Home Extensions Thorpe Bay

    • Wraparound Extension: This extension wraps around two sides of your house, usually the side and rear. It's fantastic for opening up corners of your home to create large, open-plan living spaces that completely transform a property. This type of extension can significantly increase your living space and could raise your house value.
    • Rear Extension: This is an extension to the back of the house, which might create a larger kitchen or living area. It's perfect for connecting the interior of your house to the garden area, especially if you use large patio doors or a conservatory design. The key benefit is the additional living space without much disruption to the rest of your home.
    • Side Return Extension: This extension fills in the alleyway at the side of the house (common in Victorian terraces). It's great for turning a narrow kitchen into a large kitchen-diner. It maximises the width of your house without sacrificing too much garden space.
    • Over-Garage Extension: This involves creating a new room or suite of rooms above an existing garage. It can add considerable living space without altering the fundamental footprint of the house. It's an effective way to utilise space, especially if you don't regularly use the garage for parking vehicles, and can provide a great area for a home office or guest suite.

    What is the alternative to a conservatory?

    If you're looking for an alternative to a conservatory, there are several options to consider, depending on your needs and budget:

      1. Orangery: An orangery is a more substantial structure than a conservatory and is designed to be a more permanent extension to your home. An orangery typically features brick or stone pillars, a solid roof with a glazed lantern, and large windows.
      2. Extension: An extension is a great option if you need more living space in your home. It can be designed to blend in with the rest of your house and can be tailored to your specific needs.
      3. Sunroom: A sunroom is a type of extension that is typically made entirely of glass, offering great views of your garden while providing shelter from the weather.
      4. Loggia: A loggia is an outdoor space that is enclosed on one or more sides by arches or columns. It provides shade and shelter while still allowing you to enjoy the outdoors.
      5. Garden room: A garden room is a detached structure that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a home office, gym, or guest accommodation. Garden rooms can be designed to blend in with your garden and can be fully insulated for year-round use.
