House Extensions Across Kidderminster
Kidderminster is a former carpet-manufacturing town with a varied housing stock.

What We Build in Kidderminster
House extension projects in Kidderminster vary significantly depending on the property type and era. On victorian terraces, we commonly build single storey rear extensions with bi-fold doors to create open-plan kitchen-diners, often requiring structural steelwork to remove the original rear wall. Double storey extensions on modern estates add bedrooms and en-suites upstairs with expanded living space below. Side-return extensions are popular on terraced properties, recovering the narrow alleyway as usable kitchen or utility space. Wrap-around extensions combining rear and side builds maximise the footprint on corner plots. Each project includes full specification of insulation, glazing, heating and finishes tailored to your requirements and the character of the existing building.
