Extensions & Conversions

House extensions (single storey, rear, side and wraparound)

Are you growing out of the space you currently have at home? Want to add value by changing or expanding the layout? Fancy an improved utility room, an extra bedroom for guests, a dedicated office space or even a man cave, chill-out space or games room? Whether you choose a single storey extension, a rear extension, a side extension or even a wraparound extension, adding floorplan to your home is not just about increasing the usable space, it’s a process that can also add value. Whatever your reasons for planning an extension or converting what you already have, Booth Construction will provide you with the ultimate quality service, and all work will be carried out by a highly experienced and fully accredited team of house conversion and house extension builders.

Garage conversions

Garage conversion is a very popular build these days, with more and more people looking to make the most of that available space – often for an office space, additional family room or extended lounge. Converting the garage space is an excellent way to stay in the home that you love when you could really do with a touch more room, and it is usually quicker and less expensive than building a traditional extension. Booth Construction are experts in garage conversion, so you can add that required extra space in keeping with the current design of your house.

Loft conversions

Loft space often goes unutilised and left as, at best, mere storage. Converting your loft or attic is becoming increasingly popular, as homeowners recognise that the space above their heads can provide them with a bedroom, a home office, a games room or a properly organised storage location to rid the rest of the house of its clutter. Loft conversions are an excellent way to squeeze the most out of the home that you love and are particularly useful when planning permission for an extension is difficult, or in built-up areas where there isn’t the external space for an extension. Booth Construction are experts in loft conversion, so you can easily add that extra space without affecting your home’s exterior aesthetic.

Home office extensions

Having a dedicated space where you can undertake ‘the admin of life’ is important, and a home office extension can also provide you with somewhere to work from home or to concentrate on your hobbies. Building a home office extension will give you the perfect space to position your desk and focus. Booth Construction are experts at helping you add that required extra space in keeping with your house’s current layout.

Dining room extensions

You could be a larger family, or you could enjoy regularly entertaining guests for dinner, but your current dining room is just too small. Perhaps it’s little more than a table crammed into the kitchen. Building a dining room extension will provide you with the perfect space to spread out for social time, offering somewhere comfortable to relax, eat, drink and simply ‘hang out’ with your friends. Booth Construction can build your dining room extension, helping you add that required extra space and maximising the floorplan of your house.

Kitchen or open plan living extensions

If your current kitchen feels too cramped or the ‘cooking flow’ doesn’t work for you, then a kitchen or open plan living extension can provide the space and reorientation you require. This method of making the most of a home’s layout is becoming increasingly popular, as more and more people recognise the value that kitchen or open plan living extensions add to daily life. Booth Construction can work on your kitchen or open plan living extension, helping you improve your kitchen space and increase your home’s functionality, making the most of your house.

How much on average does a house extension cost per square metre?

On average, a house extension currently costs approximately £2,500 per square metre. However, this figure can vary depending on the complexity of the design, the materials chosen, local ground conditions, plus additional structural or utility requirements. Each project is unique, so we Booth Construction provides tailored quotes after a thorough consultation and site visit. We pride ourselves on delivering value for money, ensuring the budget aligns with both your expectations and the final outcome.

Can I still live in my property while Booth Construction is carrying out the work?

In many cases, it’s possible to stay in your home during the construction process, although this obviously does depend on the scale and nature of the work. In some cases, temporary relocation may be advisable. Booth Construction will discuss these logistics with you in advance, and plan accordingly to minimise disruption to your life. We always take care to maintain safety and cleanliness on site and we can try to schedule noisy or invasive work around your routine when possible.

How long does a house extension last?

A professionally built house extension by Booth Construction is designed and built to last indefinitely. Essentially, it will remain structurally sound for the lifetime of the building unless it is deliberately demolished or severely neglected. We use high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship to ensure your build’s long-term durability.

Will adding an extension increase my property’s value?

Typically, yes. Well-planned and professionally built extensions can significantly increase your home’s value and appeal, often providing a return greater than the initial investment.

How long does a garage or loft conversion take?

Loft conversions generally take 6-8 weeks, whereas garage conversions usually take around 4-6 weeks. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after evaluating your specific project.
