Kitchen Extensions
Kitchen extensions are among the most requested home improvements across Ashfield, and it’s easy to see why. An extended kitchen allows for open-plan living, increased natural light, and a more efficient use of ground-floor space. Whether you're after a sociable family space or a luxurious cooking area with bi-fold doors, MRJ Extensions can make it happen.
Garage Conversion
Most garages are underused, filled with old paint tins, bikes, or forgotten boxes. Converting that space into a functional room can add enormous value and practicality to your property. At MRJ Extensions, we design garage conversions and expansions that align with your lifestyle goals, be it a home office, playroom, gym, or guest accommodation.
Porch Extension
A porch extension offers much more than a visual upgrade—it adds everyday practicality, improves insulation, and strengthens home security. At MRJ Extensions, we create bespoke porch builds that complement both modern and traditional homes in Ashfield. Whether you want a stylish entrance or a functional space for coats, shoes, and storage, our tailored designs are built to match your lifestyle.
Ashfield Planning Considerations for Extensions
Understanding local regulations is essential when planning a house extension. Many smaller projects can proceed under permitted development rights, meaning formal planning permission may not be required. However, for larger or multi-storey builds, applications must be submitted to the City Council for approval.
MRJ Extensions handles all necessary planning and compliance steps on your behalf, ensuring your extension meets current building codes and environmental standards. We work closely with structural engineers and local officials to streamline the approval process, giving you peace of mind from start to finish.
From Concept to Completion – A Clear Extension Process
At MRJ Extensions, we believe that a successful extension project starts with clear communication and ends with outstanding results. Our process is designed to guide you smoothly from the initial idea through to a finished space you’ll love. We tailor each phase to your specific goals, budget, and property type, whether it's a residential home, office, or investment property.
We begin with a site visit and consultation to assess your needs and gather design inspiration. From there, we move into the design phase, handle planning approvals where needed, and prepare a schedule of works. Once construction begins, our project managers oversee every step to ensure timelines and quality standards are met. You'll always know what’s happening and when.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wrap-around extension?
A wrap-around extension combines a rear and side extension to maximise space. It’s particularly popular for creating large open-plan kitchens with dining and living areas.
Can I build an extension on a listed building?
Extensions to listed buildings require listed building consent, in addition to planning permission. Strict controls apply to protect the building’s character and historic features.
How do I choose the right builder for my extension?
Look for local builders with strong reviews, insurance cover, and experience in extensions. It’s also wise to request references and view past projects.
What hidden costs should I expect in an extension?
Common extra costs include groundworks, utility connections, and unforeseen structural issues. Always budget at least 10–15% extra for unexpected expenses.
Is it cheaper to extend or move house in the UK?
For many, extending is cheaper than moving once you account for stamp duty, legal fees, and moving costs. Plus, you can stay in the area you love while gaining extra space.
