Single Storey Extension

Need More Space? Extend Your Home Without the Hassle of Moving

If your home is starting to feel a little tight but you’d rather not go through the stress and cost of relocating, a well-designed extension could be the perfect solution. Extending your property is often more affordable and far less disruptive than moving house.

Whether you’re considering a single storey, double storey, or wrap-around extension, Melrose Designs is here to guide you through every step. One of the most popular choices is a single storey kitchen extension, offering a modern, open-plan space that transforms how you live and entertain.

We’ll help you explore your options and create a design that fits your lifestyle, budget, and planning requirements—making the process smooth from start to finish.

Double Storey Extension

If your property layout allows, a two-storey extension is a smart way to significantly increase your living space without the need to move. By building upwards as well as outwards, you can create multiple new rooms—ideal for adding an extra bedroom, a second bathroom, or even a dedicated home office.

It’s a cost-effective way to future-proof your home and enhance both its functionality and value.

Project Types Build your extension

Wrap-Around Extension

A wrap-around extension combines both side and rear extensions to dramatically increase your ground floor space—perfect for open-plan kitchens, dining areas, or multifunctional family rooms. This type of extension is ideal for corner plots or properties with unused side return space. At Melrose Designs, we’ll help you unlock the full potential of your home with a design that flows naturally and enhances both function and style.

Open-Plan Kitchen Extension

An open-plan kitchen extension is one of the most transformative upgrades you can make to your home. It creates a bright, spacious environment perfect for cooking, dining, and entertaining—all in one seamless space. Whether you’re dreaming of a kitchen island, bi-fold doors, or a sociable family hub, Melrose Designs will craft a layout that enhances your lifestyle and adds lasting value to your property.

We have used Kieran at Melrose designs for the design of a double storey side extension and single storey rear extension on an end plot in Winstanley, Wigan. Kieran has vast experience in this field and has been extremely competent, attentive and supportive throughout the design, planning permission process, and subsequent building control process. Melrose Designs have been a very reasonable price for the services they offer and I would highly recommend Kieran to anybody looking to extend their existing property.

Outstanding service. Amazing price, reliable, top communication skills and from our extension drawings that Kieran did we were told from a builder who had been doing the trade for over 20 years , that they were the best drawings he had ever seen. Definitely recommend!

Excellent service from start to finish I couldn’t recommend Keiran from Melrose Designs highly enough. From the initial plans right through to dealing with the planning process, he was professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted to achieve with our renovation and was able to turn our ideas into clear, practical plans. Whenever we had questions or came across issues, he was always quick to respond and explain things clearly. The whole process was made much easier knowing we had someone experienced on our side, particularly when dealing with planning requirements and making changes along the way. We’re extremely happy with the service and the end result. If you’re looking for an architect who is reliable, approachable and genuinely cares about getting the job right, I’d definitely recommend Keiran and Melrose Designs.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Kieran at Melrose Designs highly enough. He has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish. His communication throughout the whole process has been fantastic, and he’s been incredibly patient and accommodating with all the changes and ideas we’ve wanted to implement along the way. Nothing has ever felt like too much trouble, and he’s always been quick to respond, helpful with suggestions and really clear with the plans and next steps. Kieran has made the whole process so easy and stress free, and it’s been lovely working with someone who genuinely listens to what you want and makes sure everything is exactly right. We’re absolutely made up with everything he’s done for us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kieran and Melrose Designs to anyone.

FAQ's

How does it all work?

We kick things off with a friendly consultation. This is your chance to share your ideas, goals, and preferences. Drawing from our extensive experience, we’ll suggest creative directions tailored to your vision. Next, we develop an initial concept and present draft plans for your feedback. You’ll have the opportunity to refine and adjust the design until it’s exactly how you imagined.

What’s the usual timeframe ?

Project timelines vary depending on complexity, but we aim to visit your property within a few days of your inquiry. You can expect to receive your first draft plans within approximately two weeks.

Construction can sometimes begin within a few weeks, though more detailed projects may take up to four months to reach the build stage.

Are you familiar with local council procedures?

Definitely. With over 15 years of working closely with councils across the North West, we’ve developed strong relationships and a deep understanding of local planning policies — helping your application move smoothly through the approval process.

Can you help with planning applications?

Yes, we take care of the entire planning application process for you. From preparing the paperwork to liaising with the council, we act as your agent to ensure everything is submitted correctly and efficiently.

Do you offer 3D visualisations of designs?

We do! Using advanced design software, we create realistic 3D renderings that give you a clear picture of your future space — helping you make confident decisions before construction begins.

Can you recommend reliable builders?

Yes, we have a network of trusted contractors we’ve worked with across various areas. We’re happy to connect you with reputable builders and assist in gathering quotes to suit your project.
