High return on investment
When it comes to building a house extension in Sheffield, determining the ROI can be influenced by several factors, including the cost of the extension, the type of property, and its location. However, a well-designed and expertly constructed house extension can add significant value to a property, with an increase of up to 20% in some cases. According to a report from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the median return on investment for a house extension in Sheffield is approximately 71%. This means that for every £1 spent on the extension, the property value could rise by £0.71. As a professional, it's essential to consider all these factors before undertaking a house extension project in Sheffield. Simply give us a call to discuss how we can be of help.
It is important to note that the rate of return mentioned earlier is merely an average. The actual ROI for a house extension in Sheffield and its surrounding areas is contingent upon the specific details of the project. Several factors, such as the extension's magnitude and quality, location, and the current property market state, can affect the ROI. Apart from the potential appreciation in property value, a house extension can also provide additional living space and better functionality. It is imperative to base the decision to construct a house extension on various factors, including budget, lifestyle requirements, and long-term objectives. As a professional, I suggest evaluating all the factors thoroughly before making any decision.
By extending your home, you can avoid the unpredictable property market and bidding wars for mortgages. Plus, you can customize your living space to fit your exact needs and taste. Homeowners have the flexibility to choose a rear or side extension, expand upwards or downwards, or even transform their basement into a new room. The result is a bigger and better home without the stress of moving! And let's not forget about the kitchen extension. This is a fantastic way to revamp your home and create more space for cooking and entertaining. Imagine having a brand-new kitchen island, extra counter space, or more cabinets - all without breaking the bank. You can even opt for a rear kitchen extension with a flat or pitched roof. In Sheffield, extending your home means you have complete control over the design process. No need to worry about buying someone else's vision and making costly changes later. With an extension, you get to choose the floor area and dimensions of each room, as well as the finishes and accessories. For instance, you can finally enlarge that small bedroom by incorporating the new space. Best of all, extending your home is often more cost-effective than buying a new one. You don't have to worry about moving expenses and can channel that money into your new extension.
There are so many amazing options for adding more space to your home! If you have a large lawn or garden, a single-storey extension would be perfect for you, especially if you're looking for additional coverage but don't have a huge budget. And if you need an extra bedroom upstairs, a two-storey extension is definitely the way to go. Just imagine the possibilities – maybe you're expecting a new baby or your kids are growing up and need their own space. Plus, think about the value factor – this could be a major selling point for your home in the future. But wait, there's more! Have you considered a side extension for a bigger living room? Or combining a side and rear extension for even more space, especially if you have a bungalow? And if you have a garage, why not get rid of it and turn that area into an extra room? All these options are so exciting, but before you start your home extension project, it's important to do your own little cost analysis and make sure it's a logical choice for you.
This is an amazing opportunity to upgrade your living space and add value to your home! First, evaluate your personal finance and consider your family's needs and plans for the future. Take into account mortgage costs, interest rates, and government regulations on home improvement and property taxes. Don't forget to plan for any necessary rear extensions! To increase the value of your home, it's important to determine its current market value before making any structural changes. Once you have a clear idea of the potential value after the extension, you can begin your exciting renovation project! Get ready to start your home extension project by securing the necessary planning permit from the Local Planning Authority in Sheffield. Don't worry, we'll take care of submitting all the necessary paperwork, including the plan, building application, design scheme, project schedule, and required documents. While it can take up to two months to obtain the decision from the planning office, this is an exciting time to start looking for qualified contractors who will provide quality work at reasonable rates or discounts.

Build Phase
Concreting
In the world of concrete, our team is experienced in laying hardcore, sand, DPM and concrete slab finishing well below the finished floor level. We take pride in our work and ensure that floor insulation and a screed layer of around 75mm (with UFH pipes if required) is installed above the concrete slab once the house or extension is built. Structural plywood can also be used as a sub-floor with insulation for an alternative option. If specified in a quote, we can lay tiles or any other floor finish of choice on the structural sub-floor.
Drainage
When it comes to drainage, we take great care in digging trenches to the appropriate depth and gradient to avoid excessive bedding being necessary to support the pipes. Our team lays pipes at an even gradient and in straight lines, avoiding bends when possible. We use gravel to a depth of 100mm to 200mm thick for both bedding and surround material to support and protect the pipes at the correct fall. Inspection chambers are also provided for ongoing maintenance, and we invite building inspections to ensure compliance at this important stage of the build. Additionally, we can support in running other services such as gas and electric as requested, which will form part of an additional quote. Finally, we conduct a full drains test before final groundworks and drainage is complete.
Walls, Ceilings, Insulation
Our team of experts will ensure that all exterior walls and ceilings are lined with adequate insulation, followed by plasterboarding and a plaster skim coat, ready for decoration. Our insulation panels have the ability to retain room heat during the winter months while reflecting the sun during summer to maintain a cool environment. Additionally, they enable the creation of a 50mm air gap, which is essential to ensure proper ventilation of the roof timbers in accordance with building regulations. Exterior walls will be treated or covered as per your design.
Plumbing and Heating Installation
For projects that include the installation of a bath or shower room, or bedrooms with hand basins, our professionally qualified plumbers will carry out all required work. Our Gas Safe registered heating engineers will extend your central heating installation to the new areas, and we will install high-output convector radiators in each room. Gas Safe is the official register of engineers authorized to work safely and legally on your boiler and other gas appliances. You can trust us to get the job done professionally and with the highest quality standards in mind.
Roof Construction
Roof Construction Our team of skilled carpenters and roofers will arrive at your site to construct your customized style of roof, be it mono pitch, half hipped, parapet or gable end. We will also ensure that the roof is finished with your preferred style. This process will mark the completion of exterior works, and we will proceed to work on the interior and final fittings.
Electrical installation
Electrical Installation All electrical installations, including modifications to existing installations, will be carried out by our NICEIC registered electricians in accordance with the Institute of Electrical Engineers Wiring Regulations BS 7671. NICEIC is the UK's top regulatory body for electricians and has been assessing their competence for over fifty years. We will install central ceiling lights or recessed down-lighters in your new extension or loft, along with any additional requests you have, which we will provide a quote for.
Architraves, Door Handles, Flooring
Architraves, Door Handles, Flooring We will finish your project using high-quality door architraves and door furniture, such as handles and locks, as per your specifications. We will discuss your preferences with you. Your extension or loft will be constructed with a floor laid over a solid concrete base or structural plywood, making it extremely sturdy and capable of carrying heavy loads without any vibrations.
Extras
Our dedicated project manager will assist you in optimizing any challenging areas and accommodating any extra requests throughout the project, whenever feasible. They will collaborate with our affiliated companies that specialize in kitchen and bathroom installations for your new extension, ensuring that all stages are executed according to our high standards.
Commonly asked questions about House Extensions?
How much does it cost?
To obtain a pricing estimate for your project, we will conduct a thorough site survey and review the plans. The cost of a house extension typically ranges from £25,000 to £60,000, depending on the size and any additional features. Our shell structures begin at £1,150 per square meter.
What documentation do I need?
We are experienced in dealing with a variety of paperwork, including Planning Permission, Building Notice, Architectural Plans, Structural Drawings, and Build Over Agreement, and can assist you with these documents as needed.
Do I have to move out?
As a rule, it is uncommon for you to have to vacate the premises. We typically segregate the work zone from the living space and take care to limit any inconvenience. However, in the case of a complete home renovation, you may need to move out for a certain duration.
Can I just commit to the Design or Build Phase only?
Certainly. We provide a two-stage approach, giving you the option to commit to the Design phase and delegate the Build phase to another company, or complete the Design phase with another company and opt for the Build phase with us.
How long does the process take?
The duration of the process is subject to various factors, primarily based on your preferences. However, usually, the Design stage spans over 10 weeks, with 8 weeks reserved for awaiting planning permission. In case your extension falls under permitted development (below 3 meters), the Design phase may take approximately 3 weeks. The Build phase, on the other hand, takes around 12 weeks for a ground-floor extension. Do you require a more precise timeline for your project? Our team is always available to assist you.
What is Party Wall? A party wall agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of two neighbouring property owners who share a common wall or boundary. This agreement is typically necessary when one property owner intends to undertake work that may affect the party wall, such as building an extension or making structural changes. To ensure compliance, the other property owner must be notified of the proposed work, and a party wall agreement must be drafted by a qualified surveyor or architect. This document may include provisions for access, cost-sharing, and dispute-resolution procedures. Once both parties have signed the agreement, it becomes legally binding and can be enforced through the courts if necessary. If you require a party wall agreement for your home extension, we can provide advice and recommend third-party surveyors who can prepare the necessary documentation on your behalf.
What does the Build quote include? The quote encompasses all the necessary elements for constructing the extension's shell and core. This includes the installation of windows, external doors, plumbing, and lighting to reach the final sign-off from Building Control. Additionally, we offer assistance with final decoration, kitchen fitting, bathroom fitting, and floor fitting upon request.
Are you properly insured? Rest assured, we have fully comprehensive insurance to cover you, your family, and your property in the unlikely event of an accident or damage. For further information, please refer to our insurance details. As professionals, we strive to meet your needs and exceed expectations with high-quality, unique, and engaging content.

Commonly asked questions about House Extensions?
How much does it cost?
To obtain a pricing estimate for your project, we will conduct a thorough site survey and review the plans. The cost of a house extension typically ranges from £25,000 to £60,000, depending on the size and any additional features. Our shell structures begin at £1,150 per square meter.
What documentation do I need?
We are experienced in dealing with a variety of paperwork, including Planning Permission, Building Notice, Architectural Plans, Structural Drawings, and Build Over Agreement, and can assist you with these documents as needed.
Do I have to move out?
As a rule, it is uncommon for you to have to vacate the premises. We typically segregate the work zone from the living space and take care to limit any inconvenience. However, in the case of a complete home renovation, you may need to move out for a certain duration.
Can I just commit to the Design or Build Phase only?
Certainly. We provide a two-stage approach, giving you the option to commit to the Design phase and delegate the Build phase to another company, or complete the Design phase with another company and opt for the Build phase with us.
How long does the process take?
The duration of the process is subject to various factors, primarily based on your preferences. However, usually, the Design stage spans over 10 weeks, with 8 weeks reserved for awaiting planning permission. In case your extension falls under permitted development (below 3 meters), the Design phase may take approximately 3 weeks. The Build phase, on the other hand, takes around 12 weeks for a ground-floor extension. Do you require a more precise timeline for your project? Our team is always available to assist you.
What is Party Wall? A party wall agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of two neighbouring property owners who share a common wall or boundary. This agreement is typically necessary when one property owner intends to undertake work that may affect the party wall, such as building an extension or making structural changes. To ensure compliance, the other property owner must be notified of the proposed work, and a party wall agreement must be drafted by a qualified surveyor or architect. This document may include provisions for access, cost-sharing, and dispute-resolution procedures. Once both parties have signed the agreement, it becomes legally binding and can be enforced through the courts if necessary. If you require a party wall agreement for your home extension, we can provide advice and recommend third-party surveyors who can prepare the necessary documentation on your behalf.
What does the Build quote include? The quote encompasses all the necessary elements for constructing the extension's shell and core. This includes the installation of windows, external doors, plumbing, and lighting to reach the final sign-off from Building Control. Additionally, we offer assistance with final decoration, kitchen fitting, bathroom fitting, and floor fitting upon request.
