You make your house a home by personalising the available space, and truly claiming it as your own. When you bought your home, you probably chose it because it suited your requirements. You loved the location and pretty much everything else about it.

Inevitably, over time, the needs of home dwellers change. If you have recently started a family, you may find that you have insufficient space. This could also apply, if you have elderly parents or grandparents who come to live with you. In a cramped living environment, tensions can run high and relationships often become strained.

However, looking for a new house is not necessarily an option you want to pursue. This might be due to several reasons. Perhaps you adore your home and spent considerable time finding the right neighborhood to create your own little haven. Maybe you have invested lots of money and emotion into your property, so moving is not something you can contemplate. In this situation, the ideal solution is to add an extra room. This could be a bedroom, bathroom, a study, a home office or even a nursery.

When you are ready to add an extra room to your house, you first need to clarify what you want. You should determine the purpose of the additional room, and consider the different ways it can be incorporated into the design of your property. You may like to extend part of your house to add a bedroom, or you could use the available space to add an extra bathroom, walk-in-robe or en-suite.

All other aspects of the project are as they would be for a normal home renovation project.


Rooflight: This type conforms to the shape of the roof itself, saving on roof restructuring costs. The window installation will flood the loft area with plentiful light.
