House Extensions Kettering: Improve Your Home

Is your home starting to feel a little cramped?

Damax building Solutions Helps You from start to finish

Whether you’re working from home, have a growing family, or simply want to enjoy more space, a house extension could be the answer. In Kettering, more and more homeowners are choosing to extend rather than move, creating tailored spaces that work better for their needs. At Damax Building Solutions, we’re here to help guide you through every step—from ideas and planning to design and construction.

House extensions are a smart way to add space, improve functionality, and increase property value without the stress of moving. Instead of compromising with a new property, you can improve your current Kettering home with a well-planned extension that suits your lifestyle. From open-plan kitchens to extra bedrooms or home offices, the possibilities are wide.
Plus, with the right advice and planning, an extension can often be more affordable than you think.

Popular Types of House Extensions

Choosing the right type of extension depends on your space, budget, and goals. Some of the most common options for homes in Kettering include:

Rear Extensions
Ideal for creating larger kitchens, dining rooms, or open living spaces. Rear extensions often lead into the garden and help bring more natural light into your home.

Side Return Extensions
Perfect for Victorian or terraced properties, side return extensions use narrow outdoor areas to expand the internal layout without taking up too much garden space.

Wraparound Extensions
Combining rear and side extensions, wraparound builds create large open spaces—ideal for open-plan living and multi-functional family areas.

Double Storey Extensions
Need more than just ground floor space? A two-storey extension gives you additional living and bedroom space, often with excellent return on investment.

Loft Conversions
While technically not an “extension” at ground level, converting your loft is a great way to maximise unused space and is popular in many Kettering homes.

Do You Need Planning Permission?

One of the most common questions we get is about planning permission. The good news is that many house extensions fall under “permitted development” rights, which means they don’t always require full planning approval.
However, every property is different. The size, location, and type of extension can all affect the rules. For example:

• Rear extensions usually have size limits under permitted development.
• Extensions on listed buildings or in conservation areas will require full planning.
• Two-storey extensions almost always need planning permission.

At Damax Building Solutions, we’ll handle all aspects of the process and advise you clearly on whether your extension needs planning approval.
