Kitchen Extensions
More and more homeowners in Moorside are choosing a kitchen expansion as their preferred home improvement project. By extending your kitchen, you can enjoy a brighter, more connected ground floor that works for both day-to-day family life and entertaining. Whether it’s a spacious kitchen remodel with feature lighting or a rear kitchen extension opening onto your garden, MRJ Extensions has the expertise to transform your space.
Garage Conversion
Garages are often overlooked, left to collect boxes, paint tins, or seasonal storage. A converted garage room not only maximises space but also increases your home’s long-term value. MRJ Extensions offers tailored garage extension and conversion services, turning underused areas into versatile living spaces. Whether you want a dedicated workspace, a family playroom, a fitness studio, or extra guest accommodation, we create designs that fit seamlessly with your property.
Porch Extension
A well-built porch isn’t just about looks; it adds functionality, improves energy efficiency, and enhances home security. MRJ Extensions offers bespoke porch designs that suit both traditional and modern properties in Moorside. Whether you're aiming to create a defined entryway or need a practical space for storage and seating, we can deliver.
Moorside 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.
The 4 Key Stages of Your Extension Project
- 1. Consultation & Feasibility: We start by understanding your vision and inspecting the property to confirm what’s possible based on layout, structure, and planning rules.
- 2. Design & Planning: Our architects create detailed designs and, if required, we manage the planning permission or permitted development paperwork with the local Council.
- 3. Construction Phase: All groundwork, structural work, roofing, and internal finishes are carried out by our experienced team, on time and on budget.
- 4. Final Sign-Off & Handover: Once the work is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough, ensure building control sign-off, and hand over a finished space that’s clean, safe, and ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in the UK?
Most small extensions fall under permitted development rights, meaning you may not need full planning permission. Larger projects or those in conservation areas will usually require approval from your local council.
What are permitted development rights for extensions?
Permitted development rights allow you to extend your home without applying for planning permission, provided certain size and height limits are met. Always check with your local planning authority to confirm before starting work.
How much does a house extension cost in the UK?
On average, a single-storey extension costs between £1,500–£2,500 per square metre. Prices vary depending on location, design, and the complexity of the build.
How long does a house extension take to build?
A straightforward single-storey extension may take 10–12 weeks to complete. More complex or multi-storey builds could take 4–6 months.
Can I live in my house while the extension is being built?
Yes, most people stay in their homes during the build, although there may be some disruption. Builders will often section off areas to keep the rest of the house habitable.
