If you want to extend your home, you’ll need to choose a type of extension. This could be single- or double-storey and extend from the rear, side or front of your property. Below, we explain the main types of house extensions our team builds for clients in Coventry and the surrounding areas. For professional advice based on your home and needs, please contact My Safe Build on 02475 120385.

Rear home extensions are built onto the back of the house, typically into the back garden. These extensions range from small to large, depending on available space, budget and requirements. The drawback to rear extensions is that they reduce the size of the garden.
Protruding from the side of the house, this type of extension helps maximise often narrow, impractical space. Side extensions are generally smaller than other styles and are often used to make existing rooms bigger. However, they can also provide brand-new rooms, especially if you have a detached or semi-detached house with lots of space to the side.
House extensions to the front are excellent for creating porches, entryways and additional rooms. Front gardens in Coventry and the surrounding areas often go unused, so a front extension could be ideal for maximising this space. However, this type of extension is likely to need planning permission and may not be allowed.
A wraparound extension combines a rear and side extension. This results in an L-shaped addition that wraps around the corner of the house. These extensions are the most versatile and can add a significant amount of space.
Single-storey property extensions add space to the ground floor only. My Safe Build can construct all of the above extension styles as single-storey.
A double-storey extension adds space to both the ground floor and first floor. Side, rear and wraparound extensions can be two storeys, but you are unlikely to get planning permission for a double-storey front extension.
