Extensions

The #No.1 Loft Conversion Specialists in East London, UK

Extensions are regularly citied as the best way to add value to your home – and no wonder, most homes end up doubling in space after their Extension. But other than the obviously large amount of space it gives, what are some other notable benefits – why should you consider getting an Extension for your property?

First of all, an Extension can more than double not only the interior space of your property, but also the overall value of the property too – meaning that if at any time in the future you consider selling your property (or if you’re a property developer), then you’d get near to double the amount of money in comparison to if you would decide not to go for an Extension. This is why Extensions are known as the largest “Investment” you can make for your home.

Unless decided otherwise, Extensions are open plan – meaning that there are almost no partitions involved in the project at all. This, coupled with skylight installation and screened windows, results in an increase natural light into the property, improved Air Quality and Ventilation and reduced noise levels.

And let’s not forget the extreme level of interior customisation offered with Extensions by Ibex – we’ve even worked with interior designs to ensure that the level of aesthetic of your property is unmatched by any other construction company.

Types of Extensions

Now unlike other value adding construction services, it is very difficult to give an accurate list of Extensions, due to their extreme levels of customisation and dependancy on the type of property. However, we’ve tried our best to include a list of the primary extension types that we offer here.

Crown Roof

A unique roofing solution that blends the flat roof’s sleek look with the durability of a pitched design. This roof style adds height and character to your home while providing excellent drainage. Ideal for creating an airy, spacious interior.

Pitched Roof

Known for its classic design, the pitched roof offers superior insulation and efficient water drainage. Its sloping sides enhance both the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of your home. Perfect for those seeking a timeless architectural style.

Gabled Roof

With two sloping sides forming a distinctive triangular shape, gabled roofs provide excellent ventilation and increased interior space. This design is favored for its strong visual impact and suitability for various architectural styles. Ideal for homes needing extra attic space.

Flat Roof

Modern and minimalist, flat roofs offer a sleek profile and easy maintenance. They’re perfect for contemporary extensions, allowing for rooftop gardens or outdoor living spaces. A practical choice for those looking to maximize usable space.

Wrap Around

A wrap-around extension seamlessly connects the rear and side of your home, creating a large, cohesive living area. This type of extension is ideal for expanding kitchens or creating open-plan spaces. It’s perfect for homeowners looking to enhance both function and flow.

Side-return

Transform the often-unused side space of your property with a side-return extension, perfect for enlarging your kitchen or dining area. This smart solution brings in more natural light and improves the overall layout. Ideal for urban homes with limited space.

Side-return & Rear

Combine a side-return extension with a rear addition to significantly expand your living space. This approach creates a bright, open-plan area that’s perfect for modern living. Ideal for those looking to completely transform their home’s interior.

Rear Single-Storey

A rear single-storey extension is an excellent way to increase your home’s footprint without altering its overall height. Perfect for creating a spacious new kitchen, dining room, or family area. Ideal for homes needing more living space without a major overhaul.

If you’re extension type isn’t here, then contact our team anyways, as this is a list of some of our most popular Extension, and is not a full list of our Extension services – there simply isn’t enough space on this page for that.

Testimonials

I would like to recommend Alfred and Ibex builders for any construction ideas that you may have in mind. I just had a full house renovation and a large single storey rear extension done by Alfred and his team. Alfred is honest, trustworthy and a man of his word. From the first meeting till now, he delivered the project to the highest specification and timescale that he promised. His team has always been very considerate with the neighbours and no concerns have been raised. I was unable to oversee the project on a daily basis but I entrusted Alfred with the project and he has exceeded my expectations on the quality of finish delivered in a timely manner at all times. Alfred is just doing the final bits and pieces and we are hoping to move in soon. I can share more pictures of the finished project on request. Please quote my name, Shahed if you are thinking of instructing Alfred for a project. Please visit his website for gallery of his completed projects and more testimonials.

Alfred and Ibex Builders recently completed our ground floor extension and loft conversion. We could not be happier. Alfred was easy to communicate with and the quality of work was excellent. Most importantly the end product was in keeping with what we imagined before it all started. The team worked incredibly hard to achieve this, they were lovely guys to have around the house and we would recommend them highly.

Ibex did an extension and complete renovation top to bottom of our house. Alfred’s attention to detail is unparalleled, and he took every care in ensuring all parts of our house were renovated to exceptional quality. The house was in very poor condition, and Ibex helped us navigate this and transform it into a beautiful home which we are very grateful for. Two years later, the workmanship has stood the test of time despite the extensive changes the property underwent. We recommend Ibex for the good value, professional and quality approach Alfred and his staff take. We’ve done our house extension with Ibex Builders and are very satisfied with the result. It was a tiny project with a small budget but we wanted very specific details and Alfred was really supportive.and flexible.
