Property Extensions in Guildford | Covering Ascot, Esher and all Locations in the South East

A property extension is one of the most appealing ways for a homeowner to add welcome habitable space to a build while increasing the overall size of its footprint. MK General Building, located in Guildford, is an established company of builders and tradespeople with the ability to design a stunning room addition that will add space, comfort, style and value to your home.

We build extensions in styles to suit a property’s aesthetics and architecture.

Covering Ascot, Esher and the surrounding Berkshire, North Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and South East areas, we take the time to learn about your personal expectations from a project, and to understand your vision so that a property extension meets the objective specified and fulfils your key requirements.

If extending isn’t an option, or if you have a small budget but still need extra habitable space, we undertake loft conversions and garage conversions too.

Choose an extension in any of the following styles:

  • Single-Storey
  • Two-Storey
  • Rear-Facing
  • Side-Return
  • Wraparound
  • Over-Structure

Please contact us to arrange a survey, consultation and quotation.

If you have design aspirations for a home renovation or refurbishment, it can be a good idea to factor in an extension at the same time.

The Benefits of a Property Extension

When families grow and a home starts to feel cramped, relocation might be considered but, if you have built fond memories in a property or love being a part of your community, having to sell up and move won’t appeal to some. Add in the cost of a bigger mortgage, removal company rates, estate agent fees, stamp duty and the many other associated costs, and relocating might not be a viable option – at least from the financial perspective of a client.

And, if the children are in good schools, moving home could mean having to unsettle them which is a particular concern for those at exam age.

Instead of relocating, consider a property extension instead.

An extension is a one or two-storey addition where our builders optimise the available garden space to increase the property’s footprint. With a double-storey extension, you can gain habitable space downstairs and an extra bedroom on the upper floor. Other uses for property extensions can include dream kitchens, utility rooms, home offices, home gyms and home studios.

How you choose to enjoy an extension is entirely up to you.

A property extension in Ascot, Esher or any location near Guildford will make a home more functional and add to its market resale value. Because we are attentive to the needs of our customers and clients, MK General Building ensures that all additions match the existing décor and style of the property.

Our builders can extend in the following ways:

Rear-Facing Extension

A rear-facing property extension expands a home outward into the garden. It adds significant room space across one or two storeys and there are various design options available. A single-storey rear-facing extension is one of the best ways to add more space and resale value to your home quickly.

This is one of the most common styles for a property extension.


Side-Return Extension

Ideal for older Georgian and Victorian properties, side-return extensions take advantage of the underused space to the side of a property. Perfectly suited to semi-detached and end-of-terrace homes, options such as glass roofing panels and sliding glass doors create the impression of even more space.

Open-plan designs can lend a more spacious feel to a side-return.


Wraparound Extension

The wraparound extension combines the rear-facing and side-return property extension styles, creating an L-shaped addition that wraps around the rear and the side of the home. This type of extension adds both width and height to your home across a single storey, and it is perfect for detached properties.

This design affords more flexibility to do what you want with the extra space.


Over-Structure Extension

These property extensions sit on top of an existing structure within a property’s design, most often a garage, so that the client doesn’t need to sacrifice any garden space. Ideal for extending on the first floor of a home, over-structure extensions often need an engineer to perform the load-bearing calculations.

This style is one that is often used to create space for an ensuite.
