Home Extensions

Home Extensions in Brighton, Hassocks, Lewes and the Surrounding East Sussex Area

When families grow, living space starts to feel more restricted. The most obvious choice for many homeowners is to sell and find a larger property, but this can prove expensive once an increase in mortgage costs, fees, stamp duties and use of removal companies is factored in. Home extensions increase the footprint of a property, keep you in the same community, and provide a possible return on investment.

Foxtail Carpentry & Construction builds home extensions in a choice of styles, anywhere in Brighton or the surrounding Hassocks, Lewes or East Sussex areas. We can combine the skillsets of our builders, carpenters and tradespeople to offer an in-house service with just the one main contractor overseeing the project in its entirety.

We can also operate as subcontractors if required to.

Home extensions are additional rooms attached to main properties and can be used as kitchens or living areas to include bedrooms, and our company can build over one or more storeys. Your new extension will match the current style of the home, with the materials reflecting the rest of the exterior. Some extensions will need approval from your local authority but many fall within permitted development.

Should any approvals be needed, we make recommendations so that your local authority will be more likely to provide planning permission.

We build home extensions in the following styles:

Rear-Facing

Constructed to a property’s rear, using available space in your back garden, to generate room for cooking, for dining or for habitation.


Side-Return

These are single-storey home extensions which utilise space, such as an alleyway, to build out from the side to square up the floor plan.


Wraparound

Combining rear-facing and side-return styles, this extension adds in habitable space to the side, and to the rear, of residential builds.


Over-Structure

Built onto existing single-storey structures, this style adds to the home without changing the footprint or losing part of the garden.


In addition to adding more living space to properties in Brighton or the surrounding Hassocks, Lewes and East Sussex areas, having home extensions built can provide a valuable return on investment if the owner decides to sell in the future. In addition to saving money on relocation costs, you can also recoup much of your initial outlay.

Choose Foxtail Carpentry & Construction to build home extensions and benefit from a one-stop solution with all manual trades factored in. Instead of having to coordinate contractors from different companies and spending more money, we use our builders, carpenters and a local network of tradespeople to offer inclusive services at a fair price.

For many families from Brighton, Lewes, Hassocks and the surrounding areas, moving might not be an option. If your home has a sentimental value as well as a monetary value, or if you are attached to a local community or live in an area with good school catchment spaces, it makes sense that you wouldn’t want to move to a different location.

Home extensions keep you in the same property, reduce outgoing costs and offer a practical alternative to moving to a new location.
