Extensions

A well-built extension can completely change how you live in your home. A larger kitchen that opens onto the garden. A ground-floor bedroom for a family member who can't manage stairs. A proper dining room instead of a table wedged into a corner. For homeowners across Worthing and West Sussex, a thoughtfully designed extension often beats the upheaval and cost of moving. Extensions come in several forms. A single-storey rear extension is the most common — often under permitted development rights, meaning no full planning application needed. Double-storey rear extensions maximise the return, adding space on both floors. A side return extension fills in the narrow gap beside a terraced or semi-detached property to create a wider, open-plan ground floor. Wraparound extensions combine rear and side to transform the whole back of the house. We'll advise which approach suits your plot, your budget, and your planning situation. We manage every stage in-house. That starts with a consultation and site survey, then moves to architectural drawings and any required planning applications or permitted development certificates. Our own team then handles foundations, drainage diversions, steelwork, brickwork, roofing, windows, internal fit-out, and all services — plumbing by our Gas Safe registered plumbers, electrics by our NICEIC-certified team. Materials are sourced through D.J. Redman in Worthing, keeping quality high and costs sensible. With over 70 years of experience building in Worthing and the surrounding villages and towns of West Sussex, we understand local building styles, soil conditions and planning requirements. You get one point of contact throughout, a clear timeline, and a team that treats your home with the respect it deserves.
