House Extensions in Newham — what to expect

Newham's terraced Victorian and Edwardian housing stock is well-suited to rear extensions. Standard 6m permitted development rear extensions, side returns on end-of-terrace properties, and kitchen extensions are the most common. The flat-roofed extension with roof lantern has become a signature look in E6 and E7 over the past decade.

Newham property types

Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, post-war semis, new-build flats. The property type affects which extension approach works best — we'll advise from the first call.

How we deliver extension projects in Newham

01

Project review & site visit

We look at your Newham property and any drawings you have, explain what's possible, the likely planning and Building Regulations route, and the risks — before you commit to anything. No obligation.

02

Design & planning support

We work alongside your architect or our preferred design partners to develop drawings that are buildable, compliant, and cost-effective. We flag planning and permitted development options early.

03

Itemised scope and price

You receive a detailed, itemised scope of works and an agreed price before we start, with exclusions and provisional sums shown. Variations are agreed in writing before any additional work begins.
