A home extension is one of the best ways to increase your living space, enhance your property’s value, and improve your quality of life. However, understanding the costs involved is crucial before you start your project. At Home Improvement & Construction Limited (HICL), we specialise in delivering bespoke home extensions across Surbiton, Kingston, Wimbledon, Teddington, and nearby areas.


This guide breaks down the key factors influencing the cost of home extensions and offers insights to help you budget effectively.

HICL insights - 5 - Cost of Home Extensions in Surbiton and Surrounding Areas: A Complete Breakdown


1.  Average Cost of Home Extensions in Surbiton


The cost of a home extension can vary widely based on the size, type, and complexity of the project. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Double-Storey Extensions: Expect to pay between £40,000 and £90,000, offering more space for less cost per square metre compared to single-storey options.
  • Kitchen Extensions: Costs start at around £25,000 but can exceed £75,000 for high-end designs.

2.  Factors Affecting Extension Costs


Several variables can influence the final cost of your home extension:

1. Size and Layout

The size of the extension is the most significant factor. Larger extensions naturally require more materials and labour, increasing the overall cost. Complex layouts or multi-functional spaces can also raise expenses.


2. Materials and Finishes

The choice of materials plays a significant role in determining costs. High-end materials like bespoke glazing, hardwood flooring, or premium kitchen fittings will increase your budget compared to standard options.


3. Type of Extension

Different types of extensions have varying cost implications. For example, a side return extension in Surbiton may be more cost-effective than a rear extension in Kingston that requires significant groundwork.


4. Planning and Permissions

Obtaining planning permission and adhering to local regulations may involve additional costs, especially in conservation areas like Richmond or Wimbledon. Learn more about the planning process in our blog: Planning Permissions for Extensions in Surbiton: What You Need to Know.


5. Labour and Professional Services

Hiring experienced extension builders and architects is essential for quality results. At HICL, we provide end-to-end construction services to ensure your project runs smoothly.

3.  Cost-Saving Tips for Your Extension


  1. Choose Cost-Effective Materials: Opt for durable but affordable materials to stay within budget.
  2. Plan for Energy Efficiency: Energy-efficient designs can reduce long-term operational costs.
  3. Work with Local Builders: Partnering with local experts like HICL ensures familiarity with suppliers and regulations in areas like Twickenham, Cobham, and Woking.



To provide a complete perspective, here are some specific cost considerations based on areas HICL serves:


  • Affordable home extensions in New Malden: This area often allows for simpler builds, making costs more manageable.
  • Luxury house extensions in Oxshott: High-end finishes and materials can raise the price but elevate the property’s appeal.
  • Garage conversions in Leatherhead: Converting unused garages into functional spaces is a cost-effective alternative to traditional extensions.
  • Kitchen expansion projects in Raynes Park: Popular for families, these projects often require customised solutions.

Loft Conversion and Refurbishment in Tolworth

Back in 2019 Sanjay first contacted HICL as he was unhappy with the lack of progress on his loft conversion. The work had begun almost three months prior but as yet, there was very little in the way of structure in place. Living locally, Sanjay had seen a number of similar projects being carried out by HICL and decided that he needed a company that was going to get the job done.
Extension in Surbiton | Porch & Rear Extension

Extension to create office space and a new, extended open plan kitchen and dining area, perfect for entertaining. Peter and Harriet were living in Surbiton with their three children for a number of years, when they eventually decided to take the plunge and move from their rental property to their own home just round the corner. As a family, they were seeking more space and a home that they could grow into. The original brief when Peter and Harriet first approached us was to create a porch extension across the front of the house to accommodate a work space/study area for Harriet. Fast forward a year and they ended up with a lot more than the original brief!
New Build in Worcester Park for a family home
by Andi Drishti 17 January 2023
A couple based in Worcester Park, contacted us to build them a new home for their growing family. Dan and Naomi, a young couple based in Worcester Park, in the borough of Epsom and Ewell, contacted us looking for a construction company that would be able to build them a new home for their growing family. Having seen our website and numerous reviews, they knew that we could offer them quality and value for money. Their priority was to create a home that could easily accommodate them for the next 5-10 years at least, but also to have the peace of mind that all their needs would be met under one roof, with a company that offers all the services they needed when building from the ground up.
