House Extensions Stratford
Create a versatile, modern home in Stratford with a custom house extension designed for family living and long-term value.
Stratford properties are perfectly positioned for home expansion, allowing families to gain vital square footage without leaving a prime, connected location.
With excellent transport links and a vibrant community, Stratford is a sought-after area to raise a family. As your lifestyle needs evolve, your home should too. MBT Group helps Stratford homeowners design and build bespoke extensions that scale your living area, improve natural light, and provide a lasting return on your investment.
Optimising Stratford Property Footprints
Whether you have a detached family property or a solid brick semi, Stratford homes are built to handle expansion. We focus on modernizing your internal floorplans by removing outdated load-bearing walls and establishing new, open architectural volumes. Our extensions provide the space for feature kitchens, organized utility zones, and light-filled family rooms that feel perfectly in sync with your garden.
Types Of House Extensions We Build In Stratford
Rear Extensions
A rear extension extends the back of the property, usually into the garden. This is one of the most popular options for London homeowners who want a larger kitchen, dining area or family living space. A rear extension can transform a dark or cramped ground floor into a bright open plan area with garden views, rooflights and modern glazing.
Side Return Extensions
A side return extension makes use of the narrow side space often found beside Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes. This type of extension can dramatically improve the width and feel of the ground floor, especially when combined with a new kitchen layout and roof glazing
Wraparound Extensions
A wraparound extension combines a rear extension and a side return extension. It is a larger project, but it can completely reshape the ground floor of a property. This is ideal for homeowners who want a more significant transformation, including open plan living, dining and kitchen space
Double Storey Extensions
A double storey extension can add valuable space on both the ground floor and first floor. This may be suitable for homeowners who need extra bedrooms, bathrooms or larger living areas. These projects often require more detailed planning and structural consideration
Kitchen Extensions
Kitchen extensions are one of the strongest ways to improve family living. A well designed kitchen extension can create a central space for cooking, dining, relaxing and entertaining. MBT Group focuses on layout, light, practicality and finish
