VIP Renovations specializes in a variety of home extensions, each tailored to meet specific needs and preferences. Here, we break down the most popular types of extensions to help you envision the possibilities:

Single-Storey Rear Extension

Extending the ground floor of a property to the rear is a popular choice for adding more living space, often creating open-plan kitchen and dining areas.

Two-Storey Rear Extension

This type of extension involves adding two additional storeys to the rear of the property, offering the opportunity to expand both living and bedroom spaces.

Wrap-Around Extension

A wrap-around extension combines a single-storey rear extension with a side extension, maximizing the available space and allowing for versatile room layouts.

Sunroom or Conservatory

These extensions are perfect for enjoying natural light and the outdoors while remaining protected from the elements.

Orangery

Combining elements of both a traditional extension and a conservatory, an orangery offers a stylish and versatile living space.

Side Return Extension

Often seen in terraced houses, this type of extension utilizes the narrow space to the side of the property to expand the kitchen or create a dining area.

Porch Extension

Adding a porch at the front of the house not only enhances the property’s appearance but also provides a practical entrance area.

Utility Room Extension

A utility room extension can help keep laundry and household chores separate from the main living areas, improving functionality.
