Rear extensions
Rear extensions that open your home to the garden
A rear extension is often the smartest way to create light-filled family living. Napwood builds refined rear additions across Medway and Kent with meticulous detailing and reliable programme control.
Why rear extensions work so well
Most Medway and Kent homes have untapped potential at the back. A rear extension can replace a dated lean-to, unify kitchen and dining, and flood the ground floor with natural light through bi-folds or a roof lantern.
We focus on flow: how you enter from the hallway, where the island sits, and how the garden becomes part of everyday life.
- Full-width rear additions
- Partial width / stepped designs
- Roof lanterns and flat roofs
- Indoor–outdoor living
Design details that feel premium
Premium does not mean flashy. It means crisp junctions, level thresholds, thoughtful lighting zones, and finishes that still look sharp years later. We specify durable materials suitable for Kent weather and family use.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How far can I extend to the rear?
Permitted development depth limits depend on property type and previous extensions. We help you check constraints before design is locked.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
Usually yes for rear extensions, with temporary kitchen arrangements. We plan phasing to keep the home usable where possible.
Do you install bi-fold doors?
Yes. We regularly install high-performance bi-fold and sliding door systems as part of rear extension projects.
