Single storey extensions that add space without complexity

Single storey extensions are a versatile way to expand kitchen and living areas, add a utility room or create a new family space—often with straightforward construction compared to multi-storey builds.

We focus on proportions, roof forms and glazing so the extension improves light and flow, not just square metres.

We’ll confirm the right approvals route and coordinate Building Regulations throughout the build. If you are exploring your options, you can request a fixed-price quotation or browse recent work in our projects gallery.

What we can create

Single storey doesn’t mean small—good design makes it feel generous.

  • Open-plan kitchen-diners with garden access.
  • Family rooms and snug spaces for everyday living.
  • Utility/boot rooms for practical storage and laundry.
  • Garden-facing glazing and rooflights for daylight.
  • Internal reconfiguration to improve circulation.

A clear, managed build

Our team plans the works carefully—foundations, structure, weatherproofing, first fix and finishes—so the programme is efficient and predictable.

If you’d like to see how we keep projects organised, visit our process page.

We work across East Molesey, West Molesey, Hampton Court, Kingston upon Thames, Esher, Surbiton, Elmbridge and surrounding Surrey & South West London.

Benefits of single storey extensions

  • Often faster and simpler than multi-storey projects.
  • Great for improving kitchen and living layouts.
