House Extensions in Sittingbourne & Across Kent
Thinking About Extending Your Home? Increasing its value?
Moving house isn’t always the right solution when you need more space. A well-designed house extension allows you to stay in the location you love while adapting your home to suit your lifestyle.
Fosbraey Builders deliver professionally managed house extensions across Sittingbourne and the wider Kent area. Whether you are expanding your kitchen, creating open-plan living space, adding a bedroom or building a multi-storey addition, we approach every project with careful planning and practical expertise.
With over 25 years in the building industry, we understand that extending your home is not just about adding square footage - it’s about improving how your property functions day by day.
Designed Around Your Property
Every extension begins with understanding the existing structure. The age of the property, foundation type, drainage layout and neighbouring boundaries all influence how the project should be approached.
We take time to assess:
- Structural feasibility
- Access and groundwork requirements
- Planning considerations
- Integration with the existing roofline and brickwork
- Natural light and internal flow
The aim is always to ensure the new addition blends seamlessly with your current home rather than appearing like an afterthought.
Single-Storey Extensions
Single-storey extensions are the most effective way to modernise older properties, seamlessly blending traditional character with contemporary living. They are perfectly suited for creating expansive kitchen enlargements, bright dining areas, or fluid open-plan family spaces. By removing restrictive internal walls, these extensions flood your home with natural light and enhance overall functionality.
Double-Storey Extensions
Double-storey extensions are the ultimate solution for growing families, offering a cost-effective alternative to moving. By building upwards, you gain vital living space upstairs for extra bedrooms or a master ensuite, while simultaneously creating expansive, open-plan areas below. This approach maximises your property’s footprint and significantly increases overall market value.
Rear & Side Return Extensions
Rear and side return extensions are designed to make better use of unused external space without drastically altering the property footprint. By infilling the narrow "side return" common in period homes, you create a significantly wider, light-filled interior. It is the perfect strategic upgrade for modernising layouts and increasing functionality.
Garage Conversions
Garage conversions are an efficient way to repurpose underutilised space into high-value living areas. By transforming a cold, cluttered garage into a functional home office, playroom, or guest suite, you gain internal square footage without the need for external construction. This streamlined process modernises your home while maintaining garden space.
Basement Conversions
Basement conversions are a sophisticated way to unlock hidden potential, creating substantial living space beneath your existing home. Ideal for urban properties with limited garden room, they provide a private sanctuary for cinema rooms, gyms, or self-contained suites. This structural transformation adds significant square footage and premium value to your property.

Managing the Process from Start to Finish
A successful extension requires coordination at every stage. From groundwork and structural alterations to roofing, brickwork and internal finishes, each element must be completed correctly and in sequence.
Fosbraey Builders oversee the project on site to ensure quality standards are maintained throughout. We also work alongside trusted subcontract electricians and plumbers when specialist trades are required.
Clear communication is maintained throughout the build so you always understand the next stage and expected timelines.
Adding Value the Right Way
While many house extensions increase property value, design and execution are critical. Poorly proportioned extensions or mismatched materials can reduce appeal.
Our experience allows us to advise on layout, scale and practical improvements that make sense both structurally and financially. We focus on creating extensions that enhance everyday living while supporting long-term property value.
