Loft extensions

House Extension

A house extension adds new enclosed accommodation to an existing house, increasing its floor area and changing the relationship between the original building and its site.

Extensions may be placed to the rear or side, wrap around a corner or add another storey. The right form depends on the plot, existing rooms, neighbouring property and what the additional space needs to achieve.

An Edinburgh house extension usually brings together architectural design, structural work, drainage, insulation, services and external landscaping. The junction with the existing house deserves as much attention as the new room itself.

Permissions and technical approvals depend on the proposal and property. Establish these, along with realistic access and budget constraints, before committing to a detailed kitchen or interior layout.
