Modular Home Extensions

The modular approach provides a swift and easy fix for single-storey extensions, with most of the build completed off-site, guaranteeing a clean and seamless solution. Reduced building time on site and minimal disruption are just two of the key advantages of choosing a modular build.

We can create the perfect modular house extension architecturally designed to complement your home, created to match your requirements and preferences, with a choice of cladding and brick slip finishes for an elegant aesthetic effect.

Planning permission

Planning permission is usually not required for a new extension, but building regulations are a consideration, and we always recommend you consult your local planning office to ensure the building comes under the auspices of permitted development.

Benefits of modular extensions

Modular construction provides the perfect solution to create additional single-storey space. The result is as durable and attractive as a traditional build, but the additional benefits are significant.

The individual elements of your extension are manufactured off-site and then delivered ready for the build. There’s no need for cranes or heavy lifting equipment.
Modular extensions are considerably cheaper than traditional building materials and can incorporate all the design features you may want to include such as bifold doors and roof windows for natural light.
Because the sections are delivered ready for construction, the build time is far quicker and there is much less mess and disturbance in your garden – your garden will not become a building site.
A modular extension is as advanced as any other build, insulated and finished to the highest standards, with excellent levels of thermal efficiency to help save money on energy bills.
Modular house extensions are incredibly versatile and can be designed and specified to meet your needs, from the roof down. Decide exactly where you want your windows and doors to be to enhance your garden.

At Make Room Outside, we can manage the whole project from concept to completion.

Styles & finishes available

There are no limitations to what can be achieved to enhance your existing dwelling.

Make Room Outside offers a full range of vertical and horizontal cladding styles, timber and composite options, as well as brick and stone slips for external walls if you want to match your existing house exterior.

The construction can also be rendered in a wide range of colours, using top-quality silicon products where the colour is carried right through the full thickness of the render. This means that any accidental chips or weathering won’t expose different coloured layers.

Thermal efficiency

Our highly efficient and well-insulated roof options include every design imaginable, from sloping roofs, flat roofs, roof tiles, options for roof windows to flood the new space with natural light, and even living roofs to improve your outlook from upper storey windows over the roof and blend with your garden – we can design the entire process on your behalf.

Windows and doors are a vital consideration too, with styles and options to match the age and appearance of your property, as well as security and energy efficiency benefits.

We install A-rated double and triple-glazed windows and doors, from patio to sliding and bifold options, providing the perfect transition from indoors to outdoors.

How long does a modular home extension take to build?

We can usually quote a completion time of six weeks from signed-off plans to installation and completion, dependent upon permitted development, building regulations and the complexity of the build, which compares very favourably with traditional building methods.

It’s an easy five-stage process.

Visit our show site, touch and feel the quality of the finished buildings and talk through your extension requirements with our professional team.
Once we have an idea of exactly what you’re looking for, we’ll visit your home to complete a detailed site survey.
We will then provide you with a design to match your aspirations and an accurate quotation for the build.
The modular extension is then produced in our factory to each customer’s specifications.
It is delivered and installed on-site at an agreed date. We can even manage interior finishes for you, such as kitchens and purpose-designed office spaces.

Many people ask about the ‘breaking through’ process to integrate the modular extension with the existing building. Although there is always some level of disruption when this is carried out, it is a far quicker solution than conventional methods and traditional builds with bricks and mortar, and the disruption is kept to a minimum in both the home and garden.

What can I use my home extension for?

Many people extend their homes to create the dream living kitchen experience, with more space to enjoy company and family time in an ideal environment. However, a modular extension is versatile and can be used for many applications to match your lifestyle and increase your living space.

Add an extension dining room for entertaining, a playroom for the kids, dedicated office space if you’re working from home, or even a games room to house a full-sized snooker table! The extra space in your dream extension is always welcome.

You have a vast range of choices with all the benefits of a dream space with elegant architectural design, which is both cost-effective and energy efficient.

What does the final cost include?

At Make Room Outside, we are both the manufacturer and the builder of our modular extensions, fielding an expert team with over 30 years of experience in design, manufacture and building processes.

We can provide the total package. Your quotation will include design, manufacture of the modular extension, delivery to site, construction and even interior fit-out where specified, dependent upon customer requirements.

Every project is bespoke to each customer. Our involvement will be quoted accurately depending upon the level of involvement you prefer, from the provision of the built shell of the extension and installation to additional services or fully finished with a comprehensive internal fit-out with a fully managed service for complete peace of mind.
