How Our Builders Can Create More Space in Your Home

Many Hull families find themselves needing more space as their lives evolve. Whether your family is growing, your needs are changing, or you're simply ready for more comfortable living, the good news is that you probably have more space potential than you realise.

At DB Construction, we specialise in transforming homes across Hull and East Yorkshire, creating additional space that families love without the expense and upheaval of moving house. Here's how our experienced team can unlock the hidden potential in your home.

Single-Storey Extensions: Expanding Your Ground Floor

Single-storey extensions are one of the most popular ways to add valuable living space to your home. They're perfect for creating open-plan kitchen-dining areas, additional reception rooms, or extending existing rooms.

Kitchen Extensions

Transform a cramped galley kitchen into a spacious family hub. We can create open-plan kitchen-dining areas that become the heart of your home, with bi-fold doors opening onto your garden for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Living Space Extensions

Whether you need a larger lounge, a separate dining room, or a quiet study area, a well-designed extension can provide the additional reception space your family needs.

Utility and Storage Solutions

Add a utility room to free up kitchen space, or create dedicated storage areas that help keep your home organised and clutter-free.

Double-Storey Extensions: Maximum Space Gain

When you need significant additional space, a double-storey extension in Hull delivers excellent value. You gain space on both floors while maintaining your garden area.

Ground Floor Benefits

Expanded kitchens, additional reception rooms, or practical spaces like utility rooms and downstairs toilets.

First Floor Advantages

Extra bedrooms, larger bathrooms, or dedicated home office space. Perfect for growing families or those needing flexible living arrangements.

Loft Conversions: Unlocking Your Roof Space

Your loft represents one of the biggest opportunities to add space without losing any garden area. Most Hull properties have excellent loft conversion potential.

Bedroom Solutions

Create additional bedrooms with en-suite facilities, perfect for growing families or guest accommodation.

Home Office Conversions

Transform your loft into a quiet, productive workspace away from family activities. Include built-in storage and ensure plenty of natural light with skylights or dormer windows.

Multi-Purpose Spaces

Design flexible areas that can serve as playrooms, hobby spaces, or teenage retreats as your family's needs change.

Side Return Extensions: Maximising Victorian and Edwardian Properties

Many Victorian and Edwardian homes in Hull have narrow side passages that can be incorporated into the main house, creating significantly more ground floor space.

Kitchen Transformations

Extend into the side return to create spacious kitchen-dining areas that transform how your family lives and entertains.

Natural Light Benefits

Side return extensions often include large windows or roof lights, flooding previously dark areas with natural light.

Internal Reconfigurations: Reimagining Existing Space

Sometimes the best solution isn't adding space, but using what you have more effectively. Our team can reconfigure internal layouts to create better flow and functionality.

Relocating Kitchens

Moving your kitchen to a different part of the house can unlock better layouts and create more functional living spaces.

Bathroom Relocations

Repositioning bathrooms can free up valuable space for additional bedrooms or living areas.

Removing Walls

Opening up rooms by removing non-structural walls creates a sense of space and improves natural light flow throughout your home.

Basement Conversions: Going Underground

For properties with suitable basements, conversion can provide substantial additional living space while maintaining your ground floor layout.

Entertainment Spaces

Create cinema rooms, games rooms, or teen hangouts in converted basement areas.

Home Gyms and Studies

Basements make excellent home gyms, workshops, or quiet study areas away from household noise.

Garage Conversions: Utilising Underused Space

Many Hull families use their garages primarily for storage when they could be providing valuable living space.

Additional Reception Rooms

Convert garages into family rooms, home offices, or playrooms while maintaining easy access from the main house.

Self-Contained Spaces

Garage conversions help to create independent spaces perfect for teenage children, elderly relatives, or home-based businesses.

Garden Room Extensions: Outdoor Living Spaces

Purpose-built garden rooms provide additional space while creating a strong connection with your outdoor areas.

Year-Round Use

Fully insulated and heated garden rooms can be used throughout the year as home offices, studios, or additional reception space.

Planning Advantages

Many garden room projects fall under Permitted Development Rights, making the planning process simpler and faster.
