Home Extensions

Whether it’s opening up the kitchen, extending to the rear, or creating more room for family life, a well-planned extension can transform how you use your home.

Experienced House Extension Builders

At Rawlins Renovations, we carry out house extensions across Lyme Regis, Uplyme, East Devon and West Dorset, from single-storey and kitchen extensions to larger structural projects and property reconfigurations.

We manage the building work from groundworks and structural alterations through to roofing and the final stages of the build, keeping everything properly coordinated from start to finish.

Whether you’re creating more living space, extending a kitchen or making larger changes to your home, careful attention is given to how the new extension connects with the existing property. This is particularly important when working with older and traditional homes, where materials and detailing need to complement the original building.

Alongside extensions, we also undertake property renovations and wider building work. You can see examples of completed work in our recent projects.

Practical Home Extensions, Planned From the Start

We undertake a wide range of extension work, from kitchen and rear extensions to larger structural additions and bespoke timber frame projects. This can include groundwork, foundations, structural openings, steel installation and internal reconfiguration, depending on the scope of the build. Whether extending living space, improving layout or delivering a more substantial addition to a property, each project is planned and managed with careful attention to structure, practicality and how the new build integrates with the existing home.

A well-built extension is about more than adding space — it has to integrate properly with the existing property, both structurally and visually.

Everything is planned and managed carefully so the build runs smoothly and the finished result feels like part of the original home.
