An extension from Divi Design can release the potential you’ve always known is there, and sometimes discover aspects of the house you’d never really noticed before.

What is the cost of a house extension in Wandsworth?

The type of extension you’d prefer, and the complexity or simplicity of individual details all contribute to cost. This means it’s all the more important to work with professionals who can deliver outstanding value for money.  We help you decide on the most suitable type of house extension for your home: Ground floor extensions and rear extensions are some of the most common, but you might also go for a side extension, an L-shaped extension (sometimes called a wrap-around extension), a side return extension or a two-storey extension. 

Price will depend a lot on your accommodation needs and how much garden space you are prepared to use. The size of extension and your choice of windows and doors,  the type of roofing – all these influence costs; likewise interior decorations and fittings. However, home extensions don’t need to be big; even a modest extension will transform the character and appeal of your home.

For  house extensions in Wandsworth you can expect costs to be in the range of £3500-£5000 per square metre. For an extension measuring 2.5m x 4m (approximately 8ft x 13ft), this will mean a price of £35,000 to £40,000. 

While each house extension is unique, there are still factors common to all.  Costs include more than the price of construction, and you should also consider 

• architectural designs and specifications
• advice from a structural engineer and/or a party wall surveyor
• an application for Planning Permission or for a Certificate of Lawful Development
• Building Regulations / Building Control approval.
