Types of Building Extensions
At Fix in London, we offer a variety of building extension services to suit different needs and property types:
Single-Storey Extensions
Ideal for expanding kitchens, living rooms, or dining areas, single-storey extensions provide additional ground-level space while maintaining a cohesive design with your existing structure.
Double-Storey Extensions
These extensions maximize vertical space and are perfect for adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or even an entire new floor.
Loft Conversions
Utilize unused attic space to create an additional bedroom, study, or playroom without altering the footprint of your home.

Perfect for properties with garden space, rear extensions enhance your living area and allow for creative indoor-outdoor designs.
Wrap-Around Extensions
Combining side and rear extensions, wrap-around designs maximize space and transform your property’s layout.

Some extensions may fall under Permitted Development Rights (PDR), allowing you to bypass the need for planning permission.

At Fix in London, we handle all aspects of the planning process, including:
- Submitting planning applications.
