A side return extension converts the narrow strip beside many London terraces and semis into usable living space. It enlarges kitchens or living areas, increases daylight, and improves flow.
We design and build spaces that feel uniquely tailored to your property, with a focus on proportion, detailing, and long-term value. Our Architectural Design service starts every project with a clear brief and a thoughtful plan. The best part of the whole process is that one team takes care of each step, from idea to handover. This provides a uniform level of craftsmanship and finish. The result is a balanced, unified space that feels original to your property.
Book a consultation or call us on 07961 817 505 or 0208 226 5511. It’s time to discuss your goals and explore what a side return extension could achieve for your home.
Do you want to extend the ground floor, improve layout and flow, and introduce daylight through roof glazing and slim-frame doors? A side return extension is perfect for period homes that prioritise character. It harmonises the brickwork, roofline, and interior details into a unified design.
Architects and builders work under one roof with a dedicated project manager to ensure a smooth process. It’s essential to set expectations early. That’s why our team handles planning permission, structural design, and site logistics. Our process helps keep the programme on track and ensures clear communication.
Each extension is bespoke to your home’s proportions. We choose materials for their quality and durability. Each stage is carefully reviewed to ensure the new space integrates seamlessly with the existing architecture and adds genuine value.

Every project follows a defined sequence that ensures precision and continuity. From the first consultation to the final handover, one team manages the entire build with accountability and care. A dedicated project manager guides design and construction. This helps the programme stay on track and keeps communication clear.
Our in-house architects create plans, obtain permissions, and resolve party wall and right-to-light issues. All technical elements are reviewed before work begins to guarantee compliance and safety. The build is scheduled efficiently to reduce disruption, with clear updates at each stage. We inspect every surface and fitting before completing the work. Then, we do a formal handover and provide a 10-year structural warranty.
