Extensions
There are a number of ways in which you can increase the size of your property, but none offer quite the level of scope that you get with an extension in London.
Extending your property is one of the easiest ways to create the additional space that you seek. Far easier, for instance, than sourcing a new home and going through the notoriously stressful process of moving – far easier than buying a plot of land and building a house from scratch. An extension is the most cost-effective way to increase the size of your home without sacrificing flexibility.
Of course, having a house extension in London isn’t just about increasing its size. It is also about injecting originality into your home, and giving it your own personal signature. There is no denying that the home acts as a direct representation of who you are as a person. And so, an extension acts as your opportunity to take your home’s existing structure and transform it into something that is entirely conceived from your own personal vision.
What we have done as a company
RCL have been in business since 1986. Since then we have worked to build ourselves an excellent reputation that is based upon high standards and impeccable attention to detail, sourcing the best materials and presenting our clients with outstanding value. Our notoriety has seen us work on some of the most prestigious real estate in London’s most affluent areas. We see this as a testament to both our standards and our approach – the respect and sensitivity with which we treat our clients and their ambitions.
Whether or not your home is suitable for an extension is entirely dependent on the amount of land that you own, on which to extend. Even if you don’t have any land surrounding your home, it is often possible to extend out onto any single floor sections of your house.
The biggest suitability issues when it comes to building an extension is planning permission. At RCL we can give you impartial advice into any inhibitions you might face when it comes to dealing with planning issues. We have vast experience in dealing with local councils and planning issues, and can put forward an application that gives you the strongest chance of acceptance.
The reputation we have developed is due in no small part to the individuals who we work alongside. It is the talent of London’s top architects and designers that allows us to continually produce work to the highest of standards. We work with top professionals who are as enthusiastic, as dedicated, as passionate as we are.
About this Process
At RCL, we always begin the same way. We arrange a meeting with you and one of our directors. If our most senior team members understand your specific requirements, then it allows us to ensure that every member of the RCL team has an implicit understanding of the project’s goals. It’s a big part of our success.
Planning
We then arrange a number of subsequent meetings and consultations with the architects and designers who are going to turn your vision into a reality, making sure that there is a precise understanding at every level. Once this is achieved, the plans are drawn up and an application for planning is made.
Start of construction
With everything approved, we are ready to commence work on your extension. This is something we approach with a unique sensitivity. At all times, we strive to avoid the unsettlement that can cause unnecessary stress. We work efficiently and tidily, and each member of our team conducts themselves with the utmost respect for you and your neighborhood. At RCL our satisfaction is driven by yours, which is why project completion is dictated by your total satisfaction.

Can you source all required materials and project manage our required works?
Yes. The vast majority of our jobs include us sourcing all materials, handling all personnel and ensuring the project is completed to the highest standard. This is inclusive in our service.
