Rear, Side and Wrap Around Extensions in Finsbury Park

NStar Builds, a family and friends run North London building company, covers house extensions in Finsbury Park and the surrounding North London area. A rear extension goes into the garden, a side return fills the passage beside a terrace outrigger, and a wrap around joins the two. Plot, daylight and use decide which suits.

Rear, side return or wrap around: what is the difference?

Rear extensions take space from the garden to widen the back of the house. A side return fills the narrow passage beside the back addition of a terrace. Put both together and you have a wrap around, one large L shaped space.

NStar Builds takes on rear, side return, wrap around and double storey extensions, as well as kitchen extensions, conservatories and annexes. Plot size, daylight and purpose decide between them.

The London cost guide on the NStar Builds website puts a full property refurbishment at £120,000 and upwards. The final figure depends on the size of the house and its condition. Treat that as a guide rather than a quote; a site visit and itemised breakdown give the real number.

What do people weigh up before extending?

A move spends heavily on stamp duty, fees and removals, none of which adds space. An extension puts the spend into your own property. The question is whether the finished house is one you want to stay in.

Some houses simply cannot grow in the right direction. Garden depth, the neighbours and any conservation area all limit what is possible. NStar Builds offers a free site visit and quote, a solid figure to set against moving costs.
