Why Choose a House Extension with C6 Energy?
With an experienced team committed to providing exceptional extension design and seamless project management, C6 Energy ensures your house extension experience is both smooth and fulfilling.
Our expertise includes everything from single storey rear extensions to ambitious two storey extensions that transform the layout and functionality of your existing property.
Our House Extension Services
Single Storey Extensions: Perfect for those seeking to expand the ground floor without extensive structural changes, single storey extensions are ideal for creating new dining rooms, utility rooms, or kitchen extensions. This type of extension can add a spacious feel to semi-detached, terraced houses, or detached properties by enhancing natural light and improving accessibility.
Two Storey Extensions: Two storey extensions add a substantial amount of living space to your existing building. Often designed to complement the style of your original house, they’re a fantastic way to accommodate growing family needs, create a master bedroom, or add a utility room upstairs. Our team ensures these extensions are fully compliant with planning permissions and building regulations.
Wraparound Extensions: A wraparound extension combines both rear and side extensions to provide even more new space and flexibility. This option is particularly popular for semi-detached properties and Victorian terraced houses where additional garden space or extra space is desired.
Garden Rooms and Infill Extensions: Garden rooms are popular for homeowners looking to merge indoor and outdoor spaces, while infill extensions optimize smaller areas, such as the side of a terraced house or the backyard of a semi-detached property. These designs create intimate areas perfect for relaxation, hobbies, or social gatherings.

Key Considerations for Your House Extension
Planning Permission and Building Regulations
When adding a new house extension, it’s essential to understand planning permissions and building regulations. While some extensions fall under permitted development rights, larger projects or those near boundaries may require a planning application. Our project managers handle the entire process from submitting applications to ensuring compliance with regulations, including listed building consent when necessary.
House Extension Costs
The cost of a house extension depends on various factors, including the size, location, and type of materials used. We provide transparent cost estimates to help you understand the financial commitment, and we work within your budget to ensure high-quality results without surprises.
Party Wall Agreements
If your extension project involves building near a neighbour’s property, you may need a party wall agreement. This legal document protects both parties’ interests and ensures the extension won’t disrupt adjoining properties. C6 Energy helps you obtain and negotiate these agreements smoothly.
Maximising Natural Light
Natural light can make all the difference in transforming your extension design. Options such as aluminium behold doors and sliding doors create a seamless connection between your extension and garden space, bringing in ample sunlight and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

FAQ
The duration of an extension project depends on the size and complexity of the work. Generally, a single storey extension takes around 3 to 6 months to complete, from initial planning to finishing touches. More extensive projects, such as two storey extensions, could take 6 to 12 months. This timeline includes obtaining necessary planning permissions and adhering to building regulations.
Yes, a well-designed house extension can significantly increase your property’s value, often adding up to 15-20% more than the initial cost of the extension. Popular options like kitchen extensions, garden rooms, or two storey extensions can appeal to potential buyers by enhancing living space and functionality, making them excellent investments.
Common types of house extensions include:
- Single Storey Extensions: Ideal for expanding living areas like the kitchen or dining room.
- Two Storey Extensions: Suitable for adding bedrooms or bathrooms, increasing space on both floors.
- Wraparound Extensions: Combines side and rear extensions to maximize space.
- Garden Rooms and Infill Extensions: Designed for properties with limited outdoor space, providing cosy areas for relaxation or work.
Each type has unique benefits, so choosing the best one depends on your needs, budget, and property layout.
Incorporating natural light can transform your house extension, making it feel brighter and more spacious. Options include adding aluminium bifold doors, sliding doors, and skylights to bring in more sunlight.
Large windows and strategic use of glass panels can also enhance light flow and connect your new space with your garden space for a more open feel.
A project manager oversees the entire process of your home extension project. This includes coordinating with architects, obtaining necessary planning permissions, handling budgets, and ensuring that construction adheres to building regulations.
Having a project manager reduces stress, as they handle all details, keep the project on schedule, and address issues as they arise, ensuring a smooth and successful extension experience.
In many cases, you can remain in your existing home during the construction process, particularly if the extension is on the ground floor and does not disrupt the main living areas. However, some projects may involve noise, dust, and temporary disconnections, which can impact daily life.
Discussing options with your contractor beforehand can help you decide if staying home is practical, or if temporary accommodation might be necessary for part of the project.
A house extension is a permanent addition designed to blend seamlessly with the existing structure, with options for insulated walls, floors, and roofing, making it usable year-round.
A conservatory, on the other hand, is usually a more lightweight, glass-dominant structure designed to maximise sunlight and garden views. Conservatories are often less insulated and may not be as suitable for year-round use unless built with thermal-efficient materials.
House extension ideas vary widely but popular designs include open-plan kitchen extensions, living room expansions with bi-fold doors for indoor-outdoor flow, and garden rooms as serene work or relaxation spaces.
Homeowners are increasingly interested in contemporary architecture features like minimalist lines, large glass panels, and eco-friendly materials. Working with a designer or architect can help you choose a style that complements your home and meets your lifestyle needs.
Several factors can raise house extension costs, including high-end materials, complex foundation work, custom fixtures, and specialized labour.
Additionally, design features like underfloor heating, skylights, and glass walls increase costs. Listed building consent or building in areas with strict planning permissions can also add to the overall budget due to additional requirements and permits.
Matching an extension to the original house involves using similar materials, colours, and design elements. This is especially important for period properties or homes in areas with strict building guidelines.
An architect or designer can help you source materials that align with your existing layout and create a harmonious look. Additionally, certain listed building consents may require approval on materials and style to maintain architectural consistency.
