Add a New Extension
Probably the most permanent and drastic methods of increasing your living space is to extend out into your garden. Whilst this is certainly at the higher-end of the cost scale (architects, surveyors, planning and building regulations, builders, fitters etc...), the return on investment can be the highest, and certainly the most rewarding. Our past home extension projects have included decorative turret bathrooms, workshops, garages, small urban extensions and large two-storey home extensions.
