Having a home extension or conversion can be a rather daunting process … we take all of the jargon and the difficult processes of obtaining Planning Permission and Building Regulations approval and translate them for you.

We will achieve the results that you want within the stringent rules and regulations that exist. These rules are governed by your Local Authority.


The most important thing we do at r+a design is listening to you. After all it is your home, and when the project is finished it will be you who has to live there. Finding out what you want and need for you and your family is where we begin.

There are some questions you might ask

  • How big will it be?
  • How much will it cost?
  • Will the council allow it?
  • Can I have a utility room, en-suite, more storage, ground floor WC?
  • What will it look like?
  • Is there a better way?
  • What other ways exist to extend our home?

We have always found the way forward is talking to you about the possibilities and what ideas will leads to the best design for you and your family, for resale or for the many other reasons that exist to make changes to your home.

Remember it is your home – we can advise and make suggestions, but it’s your home. It’s your choice.

Feel free to contact us today to discuss your ideas. Usually a short, no obligation visit to your home will enable you to explain your thoughts to us.

Together, we will come up with some great ideas.

There will be no obligation to progress any further; the choice to proceed will, of course, be yours.
