Choosing a design

What to look for in these pictures

The roof

A flat roof with a lantern or rooflights is a common choice for a single storey rear extension because it keeps the height down, which matters if you want to stay within permitted development limits. A pitched roof costs more but can suit an older house better.

The doors

Bifolds open the whole wall. Sliding doors have slimmer frames and more glass when shut. On open plan extensions the choice affects where furniture can go, so decide early.

The brick

Matching the existing brick and mortar is what makes an extension look original. Where a match is not possible, as with some double storey extensions, a contrasting cladding on the upper floor often works better than a near miss.
