House Extensions
Extending Your London Home with Tatla Developments
At Tatla Developments, we understand that as your family grows or your needs evolve, your house needs to adapt. We are leading London builders specialising in expertly designed and constructed house extensions that seamlessly blend with your existing property, adding significant functional space and lasting value. Whether you need a modest single-storey extension or a comprehensive double-height build, our team delivers superior craftsmanship.
Key Types of House Extensions We Deliver
Rear Extensions:
The most popular choice, creating expansive, open-plan kitchen-diners and living areas perfect for modern family life. We focus on integrating large bi-fold doors and skylights for maximum light.
Side Return Extensions:
An excellent solution for narrow or deep London properties, transforming often-unused side alleys into valuable square footage without disrupting the rear garden significantly.
Double-Storey Extensions:
For maximum impact, we build upwards, often combining the creation of a new ground-floor living space with additional bedrooms or a new master suite above.
Wraparound Extensions:
Combining both rear and side elements to create the largest possible footprint while maintaining the home's overall aesthetic integrity.
Our Seamless Extension Build Process
We break down the journey to ensure you feel informed and confident from the initial planning application right through to the final coat of paint.
Design & Feasibility:
Working with your chosen architect or recommending one of our trusted partners to finalise plans that adhere to London planning policies and your budget.
Structural Integrity & Foundation Work:
Meticulous preparation, including excavation, pouring concrete foundations, and installing necessary support steelwork (RSJs).
Weatherproofing & Glazing:
Expert installation of roofing, windows, and doors to ensure your new space is fully watertight and energy-efficient, often incorporating high-performance double-glazing.
Internal Finishing & Electrics:
Full fitting of services plumbing, gas (if applicable), and Part P compliant electrics followed by high-quality plastering, flooring, and bespoke joinery.
Final Sign-Off:
We manage the final inspections with Building Control to ensure your new extension is certified and ready for you to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on House Extensions
Here are tailored FAQs for your House Extensions service page, written in clear UK English and optimised for common homeowner questions.
Is a side or rear extension always covered by Permitted Development (PD)?
Not always. While many single-storey rear extensions fall under PD, larger builds, or those in designated areas like Conservation Areas or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), will require a formal Planning Permission application. We guide you through the necessary Local Authority submissions.
What is a Party Wall Agreement, and do I need one?
If your proposed extension is adjacent to, or very near, a neighbour’s property boundary, you will likely need to serve a Party Wall Notice. This legal process protects both properties. Tatla Developments can advise on appointing a Party Wall Surveyor if necessary.
How long will my house extension project take from start to finish?
A standard single-storey rear extension usually takes between 8 and 12 weeks once groundwork begins. More complex wraparound or double-storey extensions can take 14 to 20 weeks, depending on structural complexity and weather.
Will my new extension look obviously 'added on' to the main house?
Our goal is seamless integration. We work closely with designers to match brickwork, roofing profiles, and window styles, ensuring the new space complements your existing home’s character perfectly.
Can I convert my garage into a habitable room?
Yes, a garage conversion is often simpler than a full extension as the structure is already there. We ensure the concrete floor is suitable, and handle necessary insulation and structural alterations to meet current Building Regulations.
