Home Extensions
The extra space you’ve dreamed of…
If you need to add extra living space but don’t want to move home, then extending your home is the perfect choice. Adding a single-story extension to your existing property is becoming an increasingly popular and cost-effective solution, and it’s not hard to see why.
We can help you design your dream extension from scratch, whether it be extra dining space, an open plan family room or even a downstairs bedroom or study, and we’ll bring it to life for you step by step.
With infinite possibilities for integrating windows, feature doors, walls and pillars that express your sense of style, we’ll help you create a practical and versatile family space that will stand the test of time.
Stylish, affordable, simple.
Choosing your new home extension...
Building an extension is one of the most popular home improvements homeowners undertake. It is a great way to add much-needed extra space (and value) without having to move house. But there is a lot to be considered to ensure your new extension meets your needs. Our beginner’s guide will cover everything you need to know, including:
- How much does an extension cost?
- Will I need planning permission for my extension?
- Building Regulations
- How to design an extension
- Building your extension
- Heating and electrics
Our single-storey home extensions are built to blend perfectly with your existing home.
Plus, each extension is completely customisable down to the size, shape, windows and doors so your added living space is tailored exclusively to you.

Before your extension begins...
Your Clearview builder will contact their local brick merchants to obtain the closest brick or stone match available, and will check this with you to ensure you’re 100% happy. Where possible we will ensure we obtain the best possible match but please do bear in mind that there will be weathering differences between existing bricks and new bricks. If the closest match isn’t what you want, you do have the option to have your new brickwork tinted, but please bear in mind this option does carry an additional cost.

Choosing your windows for your new extension...
With such a vast range of windows on the market today, it can be daunting thinking about where to start. A little thought upfront about your key motivations, and how you want your windows to look & perform, will help us to ensure your final extension is exactly as you imagined. To help you get started, we’ve put together this handy list of the windows we have available:
Casement Windows - Simple and stylish, the casement window blends well with virtually any style of property. Affordable, secure and energy efficient, you can tailor your windows with colour and a range of accessories. Tilt and Turn Windows offer yet more versatility for easy cleaning.
Bay Windows - We’re specialists at installing bay windows with bags of character so you can make the most of the valuable extra space and charm that your bay window deserves.
Vertical Sliding Windows - Enjoy the best of both worlds, the appeal of traditional-feel vertical sliding windows combined with the low-maintenance benefits of UPVC or aluminium frames.
Envisage Flush Windows - Our signature ‘Envisage’ windows are modelled on the traditional timber windows of centuries past, but with a modern twist . The adaptable ‘flush’ design suits a variety of homes, from heritage properties to rustic new-builds.
Once you’ve decided on the style of your new windows, we have a huge variety of frame, colour and hardware options for you to choose from that will help you really personalise your look. From a traditional cottage feel to a sleek and contemporary design, we’ll have the perfect combination of materials that will work for you.
