When your Harlow home no longer provides the space your family needs, a house extension offers the perfect solution. Rather than facing the expense and upheaval of moving, an extension adds valuable room while keeping you in the location you love. With Harlow’s excellent transport links to London and Cambridge, it’s easy to see why so many homeowners choose to extend rather than relocate.
We design and build house extensions across Harlow, from single storey rear extensions creating spacious kitchen-diners to double storey additions providing extra bedrooms and bathrooms. Whether you need a bright open-plan living space, a dedicated home office, or simply more room for a growing family, we deliver extensions tailored to your requirements and budget.
Harlow’s housing stock—from the post-war properties across Mark Hall and Potter Street to newer developments in Newhall and Church Langley—suits extension work well. Many properties have generous plots with space to extend at the rear or side without overwhelming the garden.
Our service covers every aspect of your extension project, from initial design and planning applications through to construction and finishing. Contact us for a free consultation and discover how an extension could transform your Harlow home.
Single storey rear extensions are our most popular choice for Harlow homeowners wanting additional ground floor space. They create room for spacious kitchen-diners, larger living areas, or dedicated home offices without the cost of building upward. Under permitted development, you can typically extend 3 metres from the original rear wall for attached houses or 4 metres for detached properties without planning permission. Larger extensions up to 6 or 8 metres are possible through the prior approval process. We design single storey extensions that maximise natural light through bi-fold doors and skylights, creating bright, welcoming spaces that transform how your home works for your family.
When you need both additional ground floor and first floor space, a double storey extension delivers excellent value. Building two storeys costs significantly less than constructing the same space as separate single storey projects because foundations, walls, and roof are shared. Double storey extensions suit growing families needing a larger kitchen-diner below with extra bedrooms or bathrooms above. These extensions typically require planning permission and must consider impact on neighbours and light to adjacent properties. Properties across Bush Fair, Staple Tye, and Old Harlow often accommodate double storey extensions well. We design additions that complement your existing home seamlessly.
Extend into your garden with a professionally designed rear extension. Rear extensions suit Harlow’s typical property layouts, adding depth to ground floor living spaces without affecting front elevations or side access. We build rear extensions of all sizes, from modest additions creating utility rooms or home offices to substantial projects doubling your kitchen and living space. The generous rear gardens common across Potter Street, Mark Hall, and Churchgate provide ample room for significant extensions while retaining usable outdoor space. We handle all groundwork, construction, roofing, and finishing, delivering extensions that feel like natural parts of your home.
Wrap-around extensions combine rear and side extensions into one L-shaped structure, maximising the space gained from your project. This approach suits corner plots or properties where both side and rear extension are feasible. Wrap-around designs create the largest ground floor transformations, often doubling the size of your kitchen and living space. They require careful design to maintain natural light to existing rooms and ensure the extension complements your home’s proportions. Detached properties across Latton Bush, Newhall, and Church Langley often accommodate wrap-around designs beautifully. We plan extensions to work with your property’s specific characteristics and your family’s needs.
Building an extension is a significant investment, and choosing the right builder matters. We bring years of experience to every project, combining quality craftsmanship with professional project management. From initial design through to final finishing, we handle every aspect of your extension, coordinating trades and ensuring work progresses smoothly.
We understand Harlow’s housing stock—from the 1950s and 60s properties across the town’s original neighbourhoods to modern developments in Newhall and Church Langley. Different property types require different approaches, and our experience across Harlow’s diverse homes ensures your extension suits your specific property.
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Your detailed quotation specifies exactly what’s included, so you know what to expect before work begins. We keep you informed throughout construction, addressing questions promptly and ensuring you’re satisfied with progress. Our work meets all building regulations requirements, and we provide full documentation upon completion.
