Single storey extensions are a great way to add space and value to your home. A single storey extension can be very cost effective and they are suited to a wide variety of properties.

Sizeable single storey extensions will still need planning permission. Single storey home extensions can also often be situated to either the side or back of your property. Single storey home extensions are often used to extend kitchen areas or even to add a downstairs study or utility room.

 

Also, they are often used to make a larger open plan area in the downstairs of the property that may be used as a kitchen diner or living area. Adding roof lamps and bifold doors to your home extension will create a big airy space that creates a seamless transition into the garden. While single storey home extensions may appear simpler than other kinds of extension, careful planning is still needed to make sure that the new space is practical and attractive. Professional architects and contractors can advise you on the most effective design for your home extension, considering the requirements of the new space as well as the best way to complement the present building. Your single storey home extension could be made to accentuate your pre-existing property and make use of similar materials for its construction or be designed to contrast, giving an impressive effect by using different materials.

 

Elements that effect Single Storey Extension Costs

There are a couple of elements to remember when you are setting your budget plan. The primary factors that affect the price of a single storey extension are the size and the finish. Yet there are other factors that it is worth bearing in mind while you are making your plans.

Pricy Groundworks Needed

If it is hard to dig the foundations and lay the ground for your extension, after that this can enhance the price of your extensions. This might be the case if the ground is tough to collaborate with. Particles in the ground can likewise elevate the costs.

  • Grade of Fixtures as well as Fitting
    After the dimension of the extension, the next greatest aspect is the grade of the surface. Selecting premium choices can lead to the final rate being more than double what it would be when picking the standard alternatives.
  • Dimension of Extension
    When you are getting an extension on your residence, the single largest factor that will influence the cost of your extension is the size of it. The bigger the extension is, the extra you will certainly end up paying. If the area inside the extension is easy, without internal walls, then this will reduce the price per m2 slightly. However, even with this in mind. The larger the area of your extension, the extra you pay.
  • Type of Extension
    The type of extension you select will go a long way towards determining exactly how large your extension will certainly be. Side return extensions produce the tiniest additional room so are commonly the cheapest alternative, while a wraparound cooking area extension will create one of the most room and have the most expensive fittings and fixtures.
  • Building Regulations
    In many cases, constructing regulations don't add a great deal of price to a structure task. Nonetheless, if you are building an extension onto an older home, there may be some unanticipated prices. This is specifically true if the home has actually not recently been upgraded. Structure policies will relate to your entire house, not simply the extension. This can cause the requirement for electrics to be taken a look at or door changed.

 

Kitchen Extensions:

Kitchen extensions mainly fall under the realms of single storey extensions, although all kinds of home extensions could be utilized to incorporate added area for a kitchen.

As an approximate guide, a single floor extension will certainly set you back from ₤ 1,000 - ₤ 2,000/ m2, with a fundamental develop at the lower end of the scale as well as an exceptional build top quality at the higher end at an array, with costs of ₤ 2,500/ m2 plus.

FAQs

how much is a ground floor extension?

Generally, extensions can be a very tricky undertaking - where it can be quite difficult to have a clear comprehension of the rules, regulations as well as costs. Therefore before you rush in to kick start your ground floor extension project, it’ll be wise to get a good grip on the cost. In this article, we’re going to give you a rough estimate of the cost of a ground floor extension. Let’s take a look!

Just like several other home improvement projects, the cost of constructing a ground floor extension is based on a number of things which includes the size, materials used, your location, the quality of the tradesmen or company hired and lots more. For instance, if you happen to reside in London, the cost of your ground floor extension is going to be a lot higher than the other regions.

The single cost of a ground floor extension should fall within the range of £1,500 per square metre to about £2,000 per square metre. However, if you happen to live in London or the South East, this price can reach up to £1,900 per square metre to about £2,400 per square metre. These prices are for good quality ground floor extensions only. Basic or low quality extensions would naturally cost less while superior quality extension will cost more.

Now looking at the size of the ground floor extension, if you’re looking for a size of about 5m x 5m, you can expect to pay a price within the range of £32,000 to about £36,000. And as usual, in London or the South East, this price can reach up to £50,000 or even more. And that’s just for constructing the extension. If the other relevant costs like the 10 percent to 15 percent professional fees for the architect, planning application (if needed), building regulations and more, the price goes up.

how much does a single storey house extension cost?

If you’re planning to build a single story house extension, this is one of the first questions that usually comes to mind to help you set a budget and start to make plans. But as simple as it seems, a single accurate answer can not be provided due to the fact that there are several variables that can play a key role in influencing the price of a single story house extension. These variables includes the size, location, design or specification as well as the build route. In this guide, we’ll provide you with a rough estimate that you can work with to put you on the right path.

The main determinant of the cost of a single storey extension is the size of the build, while the next most relevant factor is the quality of the finish you opt for. For a small extension, you can expect to spend a sum within the range of £14,000 to £17,000. Meanwhile for a larger single storey extension, if you opt for a large wrap around the extension with a great amount of glass to be incorporated in both the walls and roof, you can expect to pay a sum within the range of £80,000 to £120,000.

Overall, the average cost of a single story house extension is usually within the range of £34,000 to £37,000. For this price, you should get a standard sized rear or side extension which also includes the cost of a kitchen - it’s the most commonly use for a single story extension especially in the UK.

There are some additional costs you may also need to factor in to your extension budget. These includes surveys, architect fees, planning application fee (if needed), insurance and Party Wall Agreement (if needed).

How long does a small extension take?

If you’re planning to build a small extension on your property, you’ll most likely want to know the length of time it’ll take to complete the home extension. Just like many other home improvement projects, it’s impossible to provide a specific number of day in which your project will be completed as the duration is based on a number of influencing factors. This includes the size of the development work as well as whether or not you plan to live in the house when the work is being done. In this article, we’re going to give you a breakdown of the processes that’s involved in building a small single storey extension alongside the duration for each so you can have an idea of how long your small extension project will take. Let’s take a look!

✓ A small single storey extension will normally take about 3 months to be completed.

✓ Site preparation is the first step in the process and it’ll take up to 2 weeks the dig out the footings and prepare foundations. Followed by a further 2 weeks to fit the damp course as well as any drains required around the extension.

✓ The 5th week is spent on working on the external walls and putting in place blockwork to deliver cavity wall insulation.

✓ The next 2 weeks will be spent on installing the roof structure as well as internal walls.

✓ Once done. The builders will make the structure weather proof and electricians or gas fitters will be on site to add power to the extension. This will be followed by internal walls’ plastering as well as breaking into your main house.

✓ After this, when the plaster is dry and decoration completed, units or furniture will then be installed.
