Kitchen Extensions
In Tong, a rear kitchen extension is one of the most effective ways to add both style and functionality to your home. Expanding this space creates the opportunity for a flowing open-plan kitchen design, more natural light, and a practical layout that suits modern living. From a cosy family hub to a modern kitchen upgrade with sleek bi-fold doors, MRJ Extensions can deliver results that perfectly match your vision.
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 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 Tong. Whether you're aiming to create a defined entryway or need a practical space for storage and seating, we can deliver.
Why Homeowners and Developers Choose to Extend
Extensions are more than just a construction project; they're a smart property investment. For homeowners, they provide the space needed for growing families, lifestyle upgrades, or work-from-home setups. For property developers, extensions can significantly increase the rental yield and resale value of a building.
Instead of relocating to find more space, many local residents are discovering the advantages of extending in place. It allows for complete control over design, location, and budget, while preserving community ties and school catchments.
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.

Choosing a builder with local expertise matters. MRJ Extensions understands the nuances of Tong architecture, neighbourhood planning policies, and housing stock. This local knowledge allows us to work quickly and accurately, cutting down on unnecessary delays or miscommunication with local authorities.
We’ve completed projects in areas like Headingley, Morley, and Roundhay, where homes often have unique structural or design challenges. Our local experience means fewer surprises and better long-term results for you. When you work with MRJ, you’re partnering with a team that knows the area, and the best way to build in it.
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.
