At Pro Build Leicester, our experienced builders design and construct a wide range of home extensions for clients in Leicester and the nearby areas. Whether you’re planning a side-return, rear, or wraparound extension, we have the knowledge and expertise to ensure your project is completed successfully from start to finish.
Adding Small Rear-Facing Extensions
A small rear extension can breathe new life into your Leicester home. It’s a practical way to expand existing rooms — for example, extending your kitchen or dining area to create a more functional and enjoyable living space. If your kitchen sits at the back of the property, extending it by around two metres into the garden could allow you to add a partition wall and create a compact new room. This additional space could serve as a utility area, cloakroom, downstairs WC, or extra storage. Even modest extensions like these can make a big difference to your day-to-day living without taking up too much of your garden.
Building Front Porch Extensions
If your front door leads straight into your living area or you only have a narrow hallway, the space can sometimes feel exposed whenever someone comes or goes. Adding a front porch extension provides a welcoming transition between indoors and outdoors — offering extra comfort, warmth, and protection during cold or wet weather.
Creating Multiple Rooms with Wraparound Extensions
Wraparound extensions offer exceptional versatility when it comes to redesigning your home’s layout. By extending both the rear and side of the property, you can enlarge existing rooms, create entirely new ones, or even combine spaces for an open-plan feel. For instance, you might add a bright, spacious living area at the back of your home while expanding your kitchen along the side to improve flow and functionality.
Using Side-Return Extensions to Fill Space
As the name implies, side-return extensions are ideal for terraced and semi-detached homes with a narrow strip of land running alongside the property, such as an alleyway. This often-overlooked space can be transformed into valuable interior room without encroaching on your garden. By extending into this area, you could create a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zone that becomes the central hub of your home.
