One of the biggest worries for anyone extending their home is the idea that their outside space might be gobbled up by an extension. For a growing family, outside space is just as important as the interior living space, so it’s a shame to lose any of it. Of course, home extensions can be done in a sympathetic fashion, but wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to lose any garden? That’s where loft conversions come into their own!
The idea of improving rather than moving has been around for a while. Most homeowners will, at some point and if space allows, think about adding an extension to their home. But have you thought about just how much potential home extensions can unlock?
After a long winter it’s only natural that with the first few warm weekends of the year, our thoughts turn to our gardens. Our outside space should be an area to enjoy, somewhere to spend time in. So it’s good to treat it as an extension of the home.
One of the most sought-after results of homeowners looking to extend is the dream of open plan living. Every building expert will sing the praises of open plan living, and if you’re looking to extend your home, going open plan could have big benefits for you and your family.
If you have been dreaming of the perfect home office or study, we can tell you that success is all in the design, but before that a full understanding of the uses of the room must be discovered. To get this information the designers at Aspire Building spend a great deal of time getting to know their clients.
Janet Zelenczuk had wished for a large kitchen for her Surbiton home for some time. She made the decision to have an extension built to make the most of her plans and then she proceeded to have her kitchen designed. All she needed was someone who shared her love of attention to detail to install it. She chose Aspire, and this is what we did.
Having been through numerous property renovations, Fiona Bailey from Rowtown had a good idea of what to look for when engaging a builder to design and install her classic kitchen plus a contemporary bathroom and shower room. She chose Aspire, and here's how we went about the project.

With house prices on the increase again we’re finding lots of people are choosing to extend their home, rather than move, to get the additional space they need. Rear extensions can eat into gardens but side return extensions can give a lot of additional living space by cleverly utilising the often unused or even neglected area at the side.
