What is a Side Return Extension?
A side return extension is located around the rear and side of a property, often between two neighbouring houses. Many period properties include an alleyway, and this narrow strip often goes under-utilised or is used to store refuse materials. A side return extension makes the most of this space by expanding the ground floor of a home. This means they do not have to be too large to offer additional space and functionality, so they are a popular choice for homeowners with a smaller garden.
Design & Build Services
We pride ourselves on a client-centric approach. This means that the entire building project will be structured around your needs and requirements. You can choose from a range of design options or opt for a bespoke design to create something truly original.
So what are you looking for? We offer kitchen extensions that can meet any need, whether that involves updating period properties with a contemporary extension, or creating warm and inviting open-plan kitchen and dining spaces for nights in with the family. If your aim is to have an additional space that makes the most of natural light, we can incorporate bi-fold doors, a glass roof or floor to ceiling windows for panoramic views of your garden space.
How Much Does a Side Return Extension Cost?
Building costs for side return extension costs can depend on numerous factors, from size and roof design to property type (costs can sometimes vary for terraced and semi-detached houses). For example, a medium-sized side return extension with a flat roof has an estimated average cost of £68,000.
All of our estimated costs include construction costs, plumbing and electricity, glazing and internal doors and applicable VAT. We will remain as transparent as possible regarding additional costs.
We have developed an easy-to-use extension cost calculator. This makes it as easy as possible for customers to see what extensions are available for them, as well as what cost factors are included in their final quote.
