House Extensions in Greenwich

Choose a home extension specialist – one with real local knowledge

If you need more space at home – perhaps for a new kitchen or home office – an extension could easily be the solution. For many, it is far better than moving house. A home extension saves the upheaval of moving and at the same time you are rejuvenating your much loved home. On top of that, a house extension adds value to your property and will make it easier to sell when the time comes. 

At Divi Design we are Architectural Designers and Planning Specialists. And we know Greenwich inside out. We have considerable experience of designing and project managing home extensions in this delightful corner of Greater London. We can help you get the best out of a house extension with a practical and thoughtful approach to design and construction. We’re also experts in understanding how the local Planning policy is applied, so we have an excellent success rate with the Planning applications made for our clients.

What is the cost of a house extension in Greenwich?

Quite naturally, costs for Greenwich home extensions vary. The space you need and the materials you use, the type of roof, windows and doors you choose – all these influence the eventual cost. We’ll help by suggesting the most suitable options for the project you have in mind. Ground floor extensions and rear extensions are amongst the most popular, but a side return extension, a two-storey extension, a side extension, or a wrap-around extension might also be worth considering. 

For most home extension projects, you can expect costs to come out between £3500-£5000 per square metre. So, for an extension measuring 4m x 2.5m (approximately 13ft x 8ft), this means a cost from about £35,000 to £40,000. 

House extensions and their budgets do have similarities.  Budgets include more than the price of construction, so you should also account for  

• architectural designs & specifications
• advice from a structural engineer and/or a party wall surveyor, as appropriate
• the application for Planning Permission or for a Certificate of Lawful Development
• Building Regulations inspection and approval.

Getting the best from a house extension in Greenwich

To ensure the very best results, we will listen carefully to what you require. We’ll work with you from the project’s start to its finish. We’ll submit a Planning Application on your behalf, or secure confirmation of your Permitted Development Rights. 

Our designs are practical, with clean lines which are sensitive to the property and your own personal style. We favour an emphasis on simplicity,  even if it hides some complex problem solving underneath. After your initial contact call, we can explain what’s required for successful home extensions in Greenwich and how we can help. This covers,

• a site visit  to learn about your requirements – this first meeting is always free.

• a feasibility study to encompass
  • suggestions for the house extension to best complement your home
  • advice on Planning Permission and Permitted Development Rights
  • First drawings to capture your ideas
  • Design ideas
• plans, drawings & specifications, with 3D virtual modelling
• help finding a building contractor, if needed

When Planning Permission is necessary we’ll prepare and make the application for you. And because our local knowledge goes straight to the essentials, you’ll have maximum chance of success. We can also provide a project management service, taking away the need for you to check on progress – we’ll do that for you and provide regular feedback.
