    What is a Side Extension?

    A side extension is a clever yet practical way to make the most of the unused space alongside your home. Instead of moving to the new place as your family grows, why not expand your current home sideways?

    There are single and double-storey side extensions, and this approach can let you transform a narrow alleyway into a bright, functional part of your living space. They are especially popular with detached or semi-detached homes.
