Home Extensions
Get more out of your home by extending it…
If you’re content with where you currently live, but wish you had a little more space, a home extension from Crystal Clear could plug the gap. One of our single-storey extensions will accommodate what’s present lacking at home, and the great thing is that it won’t cost a fortune to get one built.
Literally starting from scratch, and doing it step by step, Crystal Clear has the design and installation skills to construct you a home extension that acts as anything from a study area to a luxurious dining space.
You really do have a world of choice. We have the windows, doors, walls and pillars to help you create a home extension for the ages. The people you know will also use every excuse in the book to come and enjoy it with you.
Stylish, affordable, simple.
Appointing Crystal Clear will come with so many different rewards...
Crystal Clear can do it all when it comes to home extensions. This avoids you needing to find a builder, architect, plumber, plasterer and fitter you can trust. We’re also great at complying with schedules and budgets.
We’re not the type of company to let our customers down, and we certainly don’t intend on letting you down either.
- Dream Big - You simply have to visit one of our showrooms if you want a home extension as Crystal Clear can construct it digitally before the real work starts. We have a piece of sophisticated 3D software available to help you fashion a stunning design.
- Hassle Free - As well as providing completely project management, Crystal Clear will also organise any planning applications and help seal building regulations approval.
- Huge Choice - We can’t be accused of selling customers short due to the amount of choice there is at Crystal Clear. You have so many options in terms of roofing systems (including traditional tile or slate to modern composite), ceilings, and windows and doors.
- Feel Involved - You will be kept informed of how the extension is progressing and we’ll also encourage you to have a strong involvement in things.
- Surprisingly Affordable - Some smart money management can help you secure that dream home extension. We have finance packages that let you pay over 5 to 15 years.

We have all the tools needed to make a spectacular extension...
Our design service is comprehensive. Whether you’re after a large or small extension, Crystal Clear can go into immense detail to help you get everything you want out of the investment.
Without being domineering, our friendly design experts will provide invaluable nuggets of advice to ensure that the extension encompasses all of the design considerations, technical details and finishing touches you want.
Only once you’re completely content with the extension developed on our 3D software will work commence on building the real thing. This way, you know it will meet your expectations.

There is a formula to buying an extension...
Extensions have become a really popular home improvement in recent years. Householders have identified the value of adding one to their homes and not just because it will provide them with more space to do the things they love. For your own extension to tick every possible box, we recommend that you ask yourself the following questions first:
- How much does an extension cost?
- Will I need planning permission for my extension?
- Building Regulations
- How to design an extension
- Building your extension
- Heating and electrics
If everything is carefully thought through, there’s no doubt that your single-storey extension will be a triumph.
You’re free to tailor the design as much as you like. The shape, size and the windows and doors chosen, are decisions that entirely rest in your hands.

Your extension may enjoy ‘Permitted Development Rights’, which means that you won’t have to apply for planning permission. It must comply with the following conditions:
- The ground area covered by the extension and any other buildings within the boundary of the property, excluding the original house, is not more than half the total area of the property.
- Any part of the extension is not higher than the highest part of the roof of the existing house.
- The eaves of the extension are not higher than the eaves of the existing house.
- Any part of the extension does not extend beyond any wall facing a road if it forms the principal or side elevation of the original house.
- The eaves are no more than 3 metres in height if any part of the extension is within 2 metres of the property boundary.
- The materials used in exterior work, except in the case of a conservatory, are of similar appearance to the existing house.
- An upper floor window on a side elevation within 15 metres of a boundary with another house is obscure glazed; and is non – opening unless the parts which can be opened are more than 1.7 metres above the floor of the room in which the window is installed.
- A side extension does not exceed 4 metres in height or be wider than half the width of the original house.
- In a single storey extension
- the extension does not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house by more than 4 metres for a detached house or 3 metres for any other type of house;
- the height of the extension does not exceed 4 metres;
- no part of the extension is within 3.5 metres of any property boundary with a road opposite the rear wall of the house.
- In an extension with more than one storey
- the extension does not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house by more than 3 metres;
- no part of the extension is within 7 metres of the property boundary opposite the rear wall of the house;
- the roof pitch of the enlargement is as far as practicable the same as that of the original house.

We will find a closely matched brick...
We know the vast majority of local brick merchants as we approach a lot of them before going out and building our extensions. The brickwork in the building needs to resemble any existing brickwork you have and we’ll do everything we can to source a brick or stone that best matches it. It’s pretty rare, but occasionally we may find it difficult to get the perfect match. When this happens, we can tint the brickwork accordingly, but we should make you aware that this will incur an additional charge. Please note too that there will be weathering differences between existing bricks and new bricks.

There is great depth to our window range...
You will be blown away by the number of window styles we have at Crystal Clear; you probably didn’t expect it. We would tell any customer to choose their window style based on how they want the window to look and perform. If you do that, you extension will do anything but disappoint! Here is a round-up of the window styles on offer:
Casement Windows - The casement window is arguably the most classic window style, despite having such a simple aesthetic. It’s also one of the most popular, which we can only put down to how secure and energy efficient a casement window is. Convert it into a tilt & turn if you like.
Bay Windows - Inject a heap of character to the extension with a beautiful bay window. It will also add depth to the design and give it unmistakable charm.
Vertical Sliding Windows - We have tried not to tamper too much with the traditional vertical sliding window too much, only crafting it from UPVC instead of timber.
Envisage Flush Windows - The inspiration for our ‘Envisage’ range were the traditional timber flush casement windows of the past. Made from UPVC, they have an adaptable ‘flush’ and can suit heritage properties and rustic new-builds.
Picking a window style isn’t your only task. You also need to decide on a frame, colour and the hardware you want affixed to the design. It’s a combination of all these things that result in you either ending up with an extension that has a traditional cottage feel or up-to-the-minute look.

We offer superb cover – your extension will be guaranteed for 10 years...
Crystal Clear is thankful for customers trusting us with their home extensions, and rewards them with a 10 year guarantee. This guarantee has you covered for everything. While it isn’t likely that you will ever experience any problems with your extension, it is so reassuring to have peace of mind over such a prolonged period. The confidence we have in our extensions will hopefully rub off on you when the guarantee is handed over.
An additional guarantee also comes with our extensions and it’s a 20 year guarantee against any windows and doors incorporated into the design. It is almost unheard of for a home improvement company to offer a window and door guarantee of this length, but Crystal Clear isn’t like any other home improvement specialist. We are a big believer that anything less than a 20 year guarantee doesn’t go far enough.
