Extending an existing property brings different challenges from starting with a clear site. New construction needs to work with the original building, both structurally and visually, while the work itself needs to be carefully managed around the property and its surroundings.
Our hands-on approach and extensive construction experience allow us to manage these demands throughout the build. Around 90% of our work is kept in house, giving us greater control over workmanship, timescales and activity on site.
From large open-plan additions to multi-storey extensions and substantial structural alterations, we focus on building spaces that feel like a natural part of the home and are made to last.
Who We Work With
Every extension is shaped by the existing property and what its owners want to achieve. We work with homeowners and professional teams on substantial residential projects where the standard of construction and attention to detail are important.
Homeowners Planning Substantial Extensions
For homeowners who need considerably more space but do not want to move, an extension can transform both the size and layout of an existing property.
We can undertake major additions including expanded kitchen and dining areas, additional living space and new bedrooms across multiple storeys. Our team manages the construction work with close attention to the existing home and the quality of the finished addition.
Owners of Period and Character Properties
Extending an older property calls for particular care when introducing new construction alongside original features.
Materials, proportions and finishes can all influence how successfully the old and new parts of the property work together. Where appropriate, this can include sourcing complementary brickwork, roofing materials and finishes to create an addition that respects the character of the existing building.
Architects and Designers
We can work alongside architects, designers and other professionals to deliver approved designs on site.
Detailed residential schemes can involve significant structural alterations, steelwork, large areas of glazing and demanding architectural details. Our practical construction knowledge helps translate these plans into a finished extension while maintaining the design principles behind the project.
What We Build
Our extension work ranges from substantial additions to existing homes through to projects involving major changes to the layout and structure of a property. Our work can include:
Each project is built around the existing property, with close attention paid to how the new space connects with the original home.
Quality From the Ground Up
Mac & Burg was founded on a commitment to high-quality construction using skilled tradespeople, quality materials and modern building methods.
That same approach applies when working with an existing home. An extension should not feel like an afterthought. The structure, materials and finishes all need to work with the property while meeting the demands of modern living.
We also understand the importance of managing work responsibly when construction is taking place at someone’s home. Protecting existing areas, maintaining an organised site and reducing unnecessary disruption all form part of good project management.
Energy efficiency is another important part of our approach. We use modern construction methods and appropriate materials to help new spaces perform efficiently and remain comfortable throughout the year.
Above all, we build with longevity in mind. Our aim is to create an extension that works for the property now and continues to add useful, well-built space for years to come.
Our Approach to House Extensions
We follow a clear route through each stage of construction, adapting the work to the property, plans and scope of the extension.

Experience Across Residential Construction
Our background in building homes from the ground up gives us a strong understanding of the structural and practical demands involved in substantial extension projects.
That experience is particularly useful where an extension involves significant alterations to the existing property. Rather than viewing the new addition in isolation, we look at how it connects with the structure, layout and character of the home as a whole.
Our practical knowledge also helps us work effectively alongside architects and other professionals, turning detailed plans into well-executed construction on site.
