Light, Flow and Effortless Living
The best open-plan living room extensions never feel like an extra room bolted on — they feel like the natural, elegant centre of the home. We design every project around light, proportion and flow, creating spaces that are both effortlessly chic and genuinely practical for family life. It is why our clients trust us not just to build, but to elevate the way their home lives and feels.
What Is Involved
An open-plan living room extension typically involves removing or opening up an internal wall with a structural steel beam, extending the footprint of the home, and introducing generous glazing — bi-fold doors, sliding doors or a roof lantern — to flood the new space with natural light. We manage every stage personally, from the structural opening through to the final elegant finish.
Typical Investment
An open-plan living room extension in Berkshire typically ranges from £50,000 to £120,000, depending on the size of the extension, the specification of glazing, and whether internal structural openings are required.

FAQ
Open-Plan Living Room Extensions in Berkshire — Questions Answered
Do I need planning permission for an open-plan living room extension?
Many single storey rear extensions qualify under permitted development rights, meaning no planning application is required. We assess your specific property and advise on the correct route at the initial, free site visit.
Can you remove a load-bearing wall to create an open-plan space?
Yes — this is one of the most common elements of an open-plan living room extension. A structural engineer calculates the correct steel beam for the opening, and we manage the installation and Building Regulations sign-off throughout.
How much does an open-plan living room extension cost in Berkshire?
Costs typically range from £50,000 to £120,000, depending on the size of the extension, the specification of glazing, and the extent of structural work involved. We provide a detailed, fixed-price written quote covering every element.
How long does an open-plan living room extension take to build?
A typical open-plan living room extension takes 10–16 weeks on site, depending on size and specification. Pre-build stages — planning, Building Regulations and materials ordering — add several weeks beforehand, set out clearly in your build programme.
Can I stay in my home while the extension is built?
Yes — the great majority of our clients remain in their homes throughout. We sequence the work carefully, protect the interior of the existing property, and keep the site secure at the end of every working day.
