Why Extend with SB
Doors, glazing and layout planned around access.
Cooking, dining and movement shaped together.
Openings, beams and foundations planned before.
Roof choices shaped around light, drainage and finish.
Rear Extension Options
The right rear extension depends on whether you need more kitchen space, better dining flow or a stronger connection between home and garden.
Create room for cooking, storage and easier family flow at the back.
Make mealtimes feel less cramped, brighter and more sociable every day.
Open up calmer space for relaxing, gathering and easier family use.
Bring in more light and create a stronger garden-facing connection.
Use clean lines, glazing and roof lanterns for a brighter finish.
Soften the look of the extension and help it match older homes.
Rear extensions work best when light, layout, structure and approvals are resolved early, before changes create cost or leave the space awkward.
Rear Extension Design
Rear extension design should improve how cooking, dining and relaxing connect, so the new space feels joined up.
Planning Permission for Rear Extensions
Planning permission or permitted development depends on depth, height, boundaries and how the design affects the original house.
Structural Opening for a Rear Extension
Foundations, drainage, structural openings and roof choices need planning early so the build stays sound and useful.
Building Regulations for Rear Extensions
Building regulations cover structure, insulation, drainage and glazing, with building control checking key stages before completion.
Cost of a Rear Extension
Cost and timing depend on size, structure, roof type, doors, finishes, access and approvals before work begins.

From the first consultation to the final result Sam and his team carried out exemplary work on our large house extension. We were especially impressed with the standard of brickwork in the build. Simon and Sam were happy to adapt and correct as different situations arose, without any hassle. The whole team were a pleasure to have in our home.Posted on Debbie GinnsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The 2 storey extension to the left of our house was completed in no time at all .. and to a high standard, sourced bricks to match perfectly. Would highly recommend them .. brilliant from start to finish ! Thank youPosted on Suzi IrelandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam and his team recently completed a loft conversion for us, and we can’t recommend them enough. Where we had been let down by other professionals previously, SB construction went above and beyond to ensure that the build was able to go ahead. And wow what a transformation we couldn’t be happier. Not only the build itself is fantastic, but the family run feel and that personal touch made the whole build experience enjoyable.
