In London, space is a luxury — and not everyone wants to pack up and move just to get a little more of it.
That’s why so many homeowners are choosing house extensions instead.
It’s a smart, practical way to create the extra room you need without giving up the neighbourhood you love.
At Force Builders Ltd, we’ve designed and built extensions all across the city — from classic Victorian terraces to modern semi-detached homes.
Each project starts with a simple goal: make your home work better for the way you actually live.
Why Extend Instead of Move?
Moving house can be stressful and expensive — new mortgages, stamp duty, removals, renovations, the list goes on.
An extension gives you the best of both worlds: more space without the chaos of relocation.
Here are a few common reasons our clients choose to extend their homes:
- Growing family: A new bedroom, nursery, or family room can make life easier without leaving your roots behind.
- Modern living: Open-plan kitchens and dining spaces are perfect for entertaining and everyday life.
- Working from home: A quiet, light-filled office at the back of the house beats a cramped desk in the corner.
- Adding value: A well-designed extension can increase your property’s market worth by 15–25%.
Types of Extensions in London
Every home is different, so the right extension depends on layout, location, and lifestyle.
Here are the most popular options we work with:
- Rear Extension: Extends your home into the garden, ideal for larger kitchens or open-plan living areas.
- Side Return Extension: Perfect for narrow Victorian terraces — uses the often-wasted side passage to widen ground-floor rooms.
- Wrap-Around Extension: Combines rear and side returns for maximum space and flexibility.
- Double-Storey Extension: Expands both levels of your home, adding extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or even a master suite.
- Over-Garage Extension: Adds usable space above existing structures without losing garden area.
Design That Fits Your Life
A great extension isn’t just about adding square footage — it’s about improving how your home feels and functions.
We start with a conversation: what’s missing, what feels cramped, and what would make daily life flow better.
Our design team then translates that into a plan that fits your lifestyle and budget.
We think about:
- Natural light and ventilation
- Energy efficiency
- Storage and flow between rooms
- Materials that complement your existing home
We handle the technical details too — from planning permissions and structural calculations to insulation, glazing, and heating.
Everything is managed under one roof, so you can relax knowing it’s all in expert hands.
From Plans to Reality
Once the design is approved, we move smoothly into construction.
Our crew works efficiently, keeping disruption to a minimum.
We know what it’s like living through building work — so we plan carefully, communicate often, and keep your home tidy and safe throughout the process.
Each stage is managed by an experienced site supervisor, and you’ll always have a direct point of contact for updates.
We deliver on time, on budget, and with the quality finish that’s become our trademark.
Built for the Long Term
We don’t just build for today — we build for the years ahead.
That’s why we use strong materials, sustainable methods, and finishes designed to last.
Whether you’re creating a kitchen that hosts generations of family meals or a new living area that grows with your lifestyle,
we make sure every detail is solid, practical, and beautiful.
