House extensions in Bristol

U Create Builders

House extensions designed around how you live

Ucreate Bristol designs and builds house extensions across Bristol and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a bigger kitchen, an extra bedroom or a home office, we plan every house extension around your property, your budget and the way you use your home.

With over 7 years' experience building in Bristol, we manage your project from start to finish, so you deal with one team rather than juggling separate trades.

Types of house extension we build

• Single-storey rear extensions. The most popular way to add space at ground level. Ideal for an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens onto the garden.
• Side return extensions. Make use of the narrow passage beside many Bristol terraced and Victorian homes to widen a cramped kitchen or living space.
• Wrap-around extensions. A rear and side return extension combined in an L-shape, for the biggest gain in ground-floor space.
• Two-storey extensions. Add space upstairs and downstairs in one build, such as a new bedroom or en-suite above a larger kitchen. Often better value than two separate projects.
• Kitchen extensions. A new kitchen with room for an island, a dining table and bi-fold or sliding doors to the garden.

If you can't build outwards, a loft conversion can add a bedroom or office without using any garden space.

Planning your extension

Every house extension we build starts with a consultation at your home. We look at the size and position of the extension, how it will connect to your existing rooms and where you want natural light. Then we talk through the layout, flooring, windows, doors and fittings with you.

Most of our extension customers are after one of three things: a kitchen the whole family can use together, a flexible ground-floor room for a playroom, snug or home office, or an extra bedroom without the cost and upheaval of moving house. Whatever your goal, we design the space around it and make sure the new extension suits the style of your existing home.

Safe, compliant and built to last

We keep fully up to date with building regulations and health and safety requirements. Your extension is built safely and to the required standards, and your home stays secure for you and your family throughout the work.

A well-built house extension can also add value to your property. As well as the extra space now, you could benefit if you decide to sell later.

House extension FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a house extension?

Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development rights, so they don't need a full planning application. Limits on size and height still apply, and the rules are stricter in conservation areas and for listed buildings. We'll talk you through what's likely to apply to your home. For full details, see the Planning Portal.

Do I need building regulations approval?

Yes. Almost all house extensions need building regulations approval, even when planning permission isn't required. It covers the structure, insulation, fire safety, drainage and ventilation.
