What an extension is
Most London extensions are about gaining a room that works: a kitchen-diner at the back of a terrace, a side-return that makes the ground floor usable, or a wraparound that joins those two ideas. The construction typically includes foundations, drainage, structure, roofing, waterproofing, windows and doors, insulation, first and second fix, and finishes.
What UrbanRise can undertake
We build rear, side and wraparound extensions from agreed drawings — architect’s or designer’s plans where you have them, or a clearly specified scope on more straightforward work. Many extensions include a new kitchen or a rearranged ground floor; we treat that as one sequence.
Planning drawings, structural calculations and designer appointments sit with the relevant professionals. UrbanRise’s work is the construction: turning a consented or agreed design into a weathertight, well-finished room.
Why people ask for this
Families outgrow a galley kitchen, or want daylight and a table in the same place as the cooker. An extension is the usual way to gain that space on a London plot without moving. Building Regulations apply; some schemes need planning permission. We talk through whether you already have drawings and approvals, and what still needs to be in place before a start date makes sense.
How to enquire
Include the postcode, a short description, and any drawings you have. London sites are tight — access, skips and working hours are part of a real price. Where a visit is needed, we come to the house, then quote against an agreed scope.
