Ways to add space

From a single-room addition to a full conservatory or orangery, there's more than one way to add space to your home. Here are the main options we design and build, with a note on what each one suits best.
Orangeries

Orangeries

More substantial than a conservatory and more light-filled than a traditional extension, an orangery strikes the ideal balance between the two. With a central roof lantern, generous glazing and solid brick or rendered walls, an orangery creates a bright, warm room that feels properly part of your home all year round.
Best For
A bright, room-like space to enjoy all year round
Modern extensions

Modern extensions

Clean lines and contemporary materials for a striking addition to your home. From a single storey kitchen extension to a flat-roofed, open-plan space, our modern house extensions are designed to bring in light and suit how you live today.
Best For
Contemporary homes and open-plan, light-filled living
Traditional extensions

Traditional extensions

Built to blend seamlessly with your existing home, using matching brickwork, rendering and rooflines so the addition looks like it was always there. Ideal for single or double storey house extensions on period and classic properties where a contemporary design would feel out of place.
Best For
Period homes wanting an addition that blends right in
Garage conversions

Garage conversions

One of the most cost-effective ways to add a room, a garage conversion turns underused space into a warm, usable part of your home. Ideal for a home office, snug, playroom or extra bedroom, and often possible without planning permission.
Best For
Adding a room quickly and affordably from space you already have
Conservatories

Conservatories

Add bright, garden-facing living space with a conservatory designed around your home. Available in a range of classic and modern conservatory styles, predominantly glazed and built to be used and enjoyed throughout the year.
Best For
Light-filled extra space with a strong connection to the garden
Conservatory roof replacement

Conservatory roof replacement

If your conservatory is too hot in summer and too cold in winter, the roof is usually the cause. A new insulated warm roof turns it into a comfortable room you can use all year, without the cost of starting again.

Transforming an existing conservatory you've stopped using

Home extension roof styles

The roof shapes how an extension looks from outside and how it feels within. Whether you want a flat roof extension with a clean modern line, a pitched roof that ties into your home or a lantern roof to flood the space with light, here's how the three compare.
Flat

Flat

A clean, contemporary profile that suits modern homes and rear extensions. A flat roof extension is efficient to build and can take rooflights or a lantern to bring natural light deep into the space.
Best For
Modern homes and a streamlined, contemporary look
Pitched

Pitched

A pitched roof extension ties the addition into your existing roofline for a traditional, integrated finish. The natural choice where a flat roof would look out of place.
Best For
Blending the addition into a traditional roofline
Lantern

Lantern

A lantern roof sits at the centre of a flat roof or orangery, drawing daylight down into the heart of the room. Available in a range of sizes and finishes, a roof lantern is one of the most popular features in modern extension design.
Best For
Pulling extra daylight into the middle of a room

No pushy sales tactics...

No pushy sales tactics, and every member of the team was friendly and supportive throughout. The communication and the skilled, friendly installers are to be commended.

I would highly recommend Paramount

Paramount delivered an outstanding result on a highly specialised conservatory conversion project, requiring both advanced thermal insulation and broadband acoustic absorption, well beyond a standard extension build.

We are over the moon with it...

Everyone who worked on the project was so professional. It has given us a whole new living space and we are over the moon with it.
