Completed Ciampa & Sons projectDesigned around your home
Add the space you need without losing the character of your property.
A well-planned single storey extension can give you a larger kitchen, a brighter family room and a much better connection to the garden. We consider the structure, natural light and internal finish together so the new space feels like part of the original home.
Extensions shaped around you
Every property and family is different. We help you choose the right footprint, roof style, glazing and internal layout for the way you want to live.
Rear extensions
Extend into the garden to create a generous kitchen, dining or family space with wide doors and a stronger connection outdoors.
Side extensions
Make productive use of side space to improve the ground-floor layout, add practical floor area and connect existing rooms.
