Expand with Confidence – House Extensions Designed for Thorner Living
Thorner is a place full of opportunity, and your property should match its pace. Whether you're a homeowner planning for extra space or a developer preparing for future demand, MRJ Extensions delivers practical, high-quality extension services across the region. Our work spans kitchen expansions, garage conversions, and stylish porch builds, each tailored to the unique character of your property.
With years of experience navigating local planning requirements and client expectations, we offer more than just construction—we offer a better way to live and work in your space. Our team is ready to bring your vision to life with precision, transparency, and lasting results.
Kitchen Extensions
Kitchen extensions are among the most requested home improvements across Thorner, 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
Many garages across Thorner sit unused, often acting as a dumping ground for clutter, tools, or bicycles. A garage conversion is the perfect way to turn that wasted area into a functional living space that adds both comfort and property value. At MRJ Extensions, we specialise in garage remodels and extensions that suit your needs—whether that means creating a modern home office, a children’s playroom, a private gym, or even 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 Thorner. Whether you want a stylish entrance or a functional space for coats, shoes, and storage, our tailored designs are built to match your lifestyle.
Types of Extensions and Their Benefits
Extensions come in many forms, each designed to meet specific needs and layouts. At MRJ Extensions, we commonly work on:
- Kitchen Extensions: Ideal for creating open-plan spaces that combine cooking, dining, and family areas.
- Garage Conversions: A smart way to convert unused garages into home offices, gyms, or guest rooms.
- Porch Extensions: Improve kerb appeal while adding a buffer space for coats, shoes, or security upgrades.
Each extension type can be designed to fit within permitted development guidelines or customised to meet planning approval where needed. The result is a space that’s both functional and future-ready.
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.
A Commitment to Craftsmanship and Client Satisfaction
Every extension we build is a reflection of our reputation. That’s why MRJ Extensions never cuts corners or rushes through stages. From the foundations to the finishes, our tradespeople apply the highest standards of workmanship and care. We utilise high-quality materials, adhere to best practices, and conduct rigorous inspections at every stage.
We measure success not only by the build quality but by the satisfaction of our clients. That’s why many of our new projects come through referrals or returning customers.
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.
