Quality House Extensions in Solihull
Solihull's housing stretches from the late Victorian and Edwardian red-brick semis and villas near the town centre and railway station, through to the post-war estates further out towards Shirley and Olton. HK Builders has over 20 years of experience extending houses across Solihull of all these types, so we design around the age and construction of your specific property rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Properties closer to the High Street and Poplar Road conservation area often need extensions designed with more sensitivity to the original brickwork and roofline, while homes on the borough's wider estates generally allow more scope for a larger single or double-storey addition. We assess which applies to your home at the first visit.
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is the local planning authority across the whole borough, and we manage the planning application, building regulations and construction directly, so you have one accountable team from the first drawing to the final finish.
Types of House Extensions to Consider
There are several ways to extend a home, depending on the layout of the property and the additional space you need. Rear extensions are one of the most popular options, often used to expand kitchens or create open-plan living areas. These extensions can introduce large windows or glass doors that allow more natural light into the home and create a connection to the garden.
Side return extensions are another effective option, particularly for properties with unused space along the side of the house. By incorporating this area into the home, it’s possible to widen existing rooms and improve the overall layout.
For homeowners who require more significant space, double-storey extensions can provide additional rooms both upstairs and downstairs. This type of extension is often chosen by growing families who need more bedrooms while also expanding the ground floor living areas.
Why choose an extension?
Solihull's town centre and surrounding suburbs are consistently in demand, which pushes up the cost of moving to a bigger property and makes extending a more attractive option for many homeowners. Staying put also means keeping the commute into Birmingham, the schools catchment and the Touchwood shopping and leisure facilities you already rely on.
A thoughtfully designed extension tends to add more resale value in Solihull than a poorly integrated one, particularly where it respects the scale and style of neighbouring properties on the same street. We factor this in at design stage rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Because every household's brief is different, we don't start from a standard layout. We talk through how you actually live day to day, then design the extension around that, with our team staying involved from the first sketch through to the final sign-off.
Making your vision a reality
Every Solihull project starts with a visit to your property so we can see the existing construction and plot for ourselves, followed by a conversation about budget, timescale and what the finished space needs to achieve for your household.
Our design team then produces plans tailored to your specific house and street, and we prepare and submit the planning application to Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council directly, handling building control inspections throughout the build rather than leaving that to you.
Construction is carried out by our own tradespeople, with a single site contact managing the job from groundworks to final finishes. We set out a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated if site conditions mean anything needs to change.

Some house extensions fall under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may not be required. However, larger extensions or those that significantly change the appearance of the property may require approval from the local council. It’s always best to confirm requirements before starting a project.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the extension. Smaller extensions may take around eight to ten weeks, while larger projects can take several months. Careful planning and experienced builders help ensure the project runs smoothly.
In many cases, yes. A well-designed extension can add significant value to a property, particularly when it creates desirable features such as larger kitchens, additional bedrooms, or open-plan living spaces.
