Home Refurbishments in Chelsea, Fulham and the Surrounding Areas | Conversions and Extensions – What is the Difference?

This question is asked quite a lot, and we’re happy to explain. Each comes with several positives, the most important being the additional functionality it offers your household. So, whether it’s a loft conversion in Wimbledon or a rear-facing house extension in Chelsea or Fulham, the extra floor space will make your home life considerably more comfortable. This is especially relevant for large or growing families. ABC Builders carries out a range of home refurbishments, renovations, alterations and upgrades to improve living conditions for our growing number of clients. This includes:

Conversions

To convert means to change. In this case, it’s changing one area of your home into another, more functional space. The main distinction between a conversion and an extension is that conversions are relevant to existing rooms or buildings. In other words, converting the attic or loft into a master bedroom suite, the garage into a larger kitchen, the basement into a home gym, or any agricultural outbuildings into granny flats or even a swimming pool. 

As the bones of the structure are already in place, conversions are efficient projects, making them excellent additions to wider home refurbishments. Our work ethic and exceptional results are highly regarded by clients in Chelsea, Fulham and the surrounding areas, and our loft conversions are among our most popular building services. We can discuss incorporating conversions into our full renovations and house refurbishments.

Extensions

To extend, however, means increasing your property’s overall size by building on additional areas. This construction method is only available to clients with sufficient room surrounding their existing property, provided they are happy to lose some of it to gain more internal floor space. Boundary walls play a part in whether or not an extension will work, so we advise seeking a professional opinion in advance.

As experts in home refurbishments and renovations, we build a selection of house extensions to suit personal tastes, property layouts, and budgets. Whether it’s a single-storey side-return extension in Chelsea or a double-storey wraparound in Fulham, ABC Builders is the company you need, as we guarantee outstanding craftsmanship. We recommend pairing extensions with domestic refurbishments to fully optimise your entire property. Our company also offer commercial refurbishments to enhance clients’ buildings.
