What a house extension costs in North London

Guide ranges for 2026, based on the way we price work across Barnet, Haringey, Camden and Islington. Every job is priced properly after a free site survey, and the figure we write down is the figure you pay.

Single storey rear extension

£2,600 to £3,400 per m²

A 20 m² rear extension with bi-folds and a plastered shell typically lands between £52,000 and £68,000 before kitchen units.

Side-return extension

£3,000 to £3,800 per m²

Narrow access, more steelwork and more roof per square metre, so the rate sits above a simple rear box.

Wrap-around extension

£95,000 to £150,000

Rear and side combined on a typical Victorian terrace, including structural openings into the existing house.

Double storey extension

£2,900 to £3,600 per m²

Adding a bedroom above the ground floor spreads the foundation and roof cost across two floors.

Design, planning and engineering

£3,500 to £7,000

Measured survey, drawings, planning or lawful development application, structural calculations and building control.

Party wall award

£1,200 to £2,400 per neighbour

Only needed where a neighbour does not consent in writing after notice is served.

What moves the price

  • Ground conditions and any underpinning needed next to old foundations
  • Access for materials and skips on narrow terraced streets
  • Glazing specification, roof lanterns and bi-fold or slim-frame doors
  • Kitchen, bathroom and flooring specification, which we price as a separate line
  • Drain diversions and Thames Water build-over agreements

questions.

Call 07969 378509
How much does a house extension cost in North London?+

Most single storey rear extensions work out between £2,600 and £3,400 per square metre, so a 20 square metre extension usually sits between £52,000 and £68,000 before kitchen units. Side-return and wrap-around builds cost more per square metre because of the extra steelwork and roof area. We give a fixed written price after a free site survey.

Do I need planning permission for an extension?+

Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, though we usually recommend a lawful development certificate for a future sale. Larger, side and double storey extensions, and anything in a conservation area, normally need full planning permission from Barnet, Haringey, Camden or Islington. We check this before any design work starts.

How long does an extension take to build?+

A single storey rear extension is typically 10 to 14 weeks on site. Wrap-around and double storey builds usually run 16 to 22 weeks. Design and planning before that takes a further 8 to 12 weeks if a full application is needed.

Can I stay in the house while you build?+

In most cases yes. We phase the work so you keep a working kitchen and bathroom for as long as possible, dust-seal the opening into the existing house, and agree access and working hours with you before we start.

What is included in your fixed price?+

Drawings, structural calculations, building control, groundworks, structure, roofing, glazing, electrics, plumbing, plastering and decoration. Kitchens, bathrooms and flooring are priced as separate itemised lines so you can see exactly what you are choosing.
