One team

House extensions, designed and built by one team

The house is right, the location is right, but the way it works no longer suits how you live. Moving means stamp duty, fees, upheaval and compromise. Extending means getting exactly the house you want, provided it is designed and delivered properly.

We handle design, permitted development or planning, structural engineering and construction as one accountable team, with a fixed programme and weekly reporting throughout.

The decision

Why extend rather than move?

An extension project by Mosaic Bespoke in Harpenden, Hertfordshire

You already love where you live

Schools, neighbours, the walk to the station. Extending keeps everything that made you buy the house in the first place.

Moving costs more than people think

Stamp duty, agents, legals and removals rarely leave much change from the cost of reshaping the ground floor properly.

You get exactly what you want

A layout designed around how your family actually lives, rather than compromising on someone else's floor plan.

Our process

The same four stages, at extension scale

Whether it is a rear extension or a whole-house remodel, the discipline is identical: understand the risk before spending money on design.

Every kind of extension

Under one roof

Five specialisms, delivered by our trusted trade team with coordinated design, engineering and cost reporting.

Single Storey & Rear Extensions

Kitchen and living space that changes how the whole house works, detailed to sit properly against the original building.

Double Storey Extensions

Added bedrooms and living space in one structural move, with the planning and engineering handled together.

Wrap-Around Extensions

Side and rear combined to reshape the ground floor entirely, usually the most transformative option available.

Whole-House Remodels

Reconfiguring an entire house alongside the extension, so the original rooms work as well as the new ones.

Replacement Dwellings

Where an extension has reached its limit, a new house on the same plot, designed and built by the same team.

FAQs

Extension questions, answered

An extension project by Mosaic Bespoke in Harpenden, Hertfordshire

As a working range, £2,200 to £3,200 per square metre depending on structural complexity, glazing, site access and finish level. Complex structural work and high specification sit above that range. A written cost plan follows the feasibility stage.
