The Small Extension That Changed Everything

Big Changes Don’t Always Need Big Spaces

When we think about home extensions, our minds often go to large-scale projects , full-width, double-storey, dramatic transformations. But sometimes, it’s the smaller extensions that make the most impact.

Take the story of Claire and James. They loved their home, tucked away in a quiet street. But the kitchen was cramped, and entertaining was always a juggling act. They didn’t want to lose too much of their garden , and they certainly didn’t want months of disruption.

The answer? A well-planned, small extension.

And what a difference it made.

Why Small Extensions Make a Big Impact

  1. Cost-Effective
    A smaller footprint often means lower costs , not just in materials and labour, but in planning fees, structural changes, and time.
  2. Faster Turnaround
    Small extensions are generally quicker to complete. Less time in dust and disruption, more time enjoying your space.
  3. Big on Value
    A carefully designed small extension can add significant value to your home , especially when it improves key areas like the kitchen or living space.

What Can You Do With a Small Extension?

  • Expand a Kitchen: Create that open-plan feel you’ve always wanted.
  • Add a Utility Room: Keep laundry and clutter out of sight.
  • Create a Dining Nook: Perfect for family meals and weekend brunches.
  • Build a Home Office: Make working from home more comfortable.

Planning a Small Extension? Ask These Questions First:

  • Do I need planning permission? Some small extensions fall under permitted development.
  • How will the extension affect light in other rooms?
  • What’s the best way to blend it with the existing house?
  • How much garden space am I willing to lose , and is it worth it?
