Extending a home is a popular way to increase space and add value to the property, thus negating the hassle and costs of moving house. Homeowners are seeking information about house extensions at a far higher rate than ever before.

Google data shows that the search term ‘house extension’ has reached an all-time high in 2020, as homeowners look for ways to get the most value out of their homes.

Perhaps it is not surprising that as the UK went into lockdown for the first time, homeowners were searching terms related to expanding their living spaces, with working from home becoming more prevalent. Homeowners are craving more space and flexibility within their homes.

With the rise in house extensions and improvements, the requirement for services such as ours have grown too.
