Any house renovations or home refurbishments allow our clients to upgrade and customise their homes to suit various circumstances, such as working from home, a growing family, and a lifestyle change. At Gatehouse Construction, we strive to ensure the additional constructs we design and build tick every box, from larger kitchens to bespoke interiors. Available in a range of styles, our property extensions are usually at the top of the list when it comes to improving homes in Chelmsford.

The types of house extensions offered to our growing number of clients include the following:
These are popular home improvement choices in urban areas as they utilise the mostly unused space at the side of a property. They are often constructed to accommodate new kitchens or home offices and playrooms. For smaller properties, they improve interior functionality and design.
By expanding a property's living space towards the back, these additions often create open-plan living spaces with greater access to outdoor areas. Our new home builders help to create a more contemporary look with these property extensions, offering a wealth of internal layout options and designs.
Combining rear and side extensions presents our clients with endless space-creating possibilities. These structures help to improve the flow of natural light and the overall feeling of spaciousness. Whilst they do require planning approval, our team at Gatehouse Construction will help with the process.
Why have one floor when you can have two? If your property’s current structure allows for a second storey, then we suggest having one installed. After all, half the work will be done already, so why not take advantage of that and go that extra mile to create additional bedrooms or enlarge your master suite at your Chelmsford home?
These are built over existing structures, such as garages and single-storey property extensions. Before renovations begin, our new home builders at Gatehouse Construction will ensure the foundations and supporting walls are strong enough to withstand the additional weight. If they’re not, we’ll reinforce both in preparation for your new space.
Where natural light is high on your list of priorities, our team suggests opting for either a sunroom or orangery. Our sunrooms consist of up to 90% glazing, with either flat or pitched roof installations. Orangeries are built with solid pillars and low-level walls, along with large windows and roof lanterns, creating a structure which is more in keeping with an extension.
