House extensions in Leicester, planned and built as one project
More space for family life, without losing the feel of the house you chose in the first place. A kitchen big enough to cook and eat in, a hallway that actually works, a spare room instead of a box room you can't use. That is usually where people across Leicester start when they look into house extensions, and it is where we start the conversation too.
What you can expect from the build
We take on the whole project for your Leicester extension, from the first conversation through to the finishing details, so you are dealing with one team rather than juggling several trades and chasing updates yourself.
How the different trades are brought together
Hills Development Group is a family-run business, started by Sheldon Hill, who developed his carpentry skills working alongside his father on tiling and joinery jobs before training his own brother as the company grew. That hands-on background is why the in-house team can handle both the main structure of your extension and the finishing details, such as skirting, internal doors and fitted joinery, rather than passing those jobs on to someone else.
Where a project needs trades we don't carry in-house, specialist subcontractors are brought in to cover them, coordinated as part of the same build. For certain extras, such as solar panels, security systems or air conditioning, we work with specialist partners, so those additions are planned in alongside the main construction rather than arranged separately after the fact.
What changes the price
Every extension is costed on what it actually involves: the size of the space you're adding, whether it's single storey or two storey, the layout and any structural changes needed, and the finish you choose for flooring, kitchen units or bathroom fittings. We go through each of these when we visit, so the quote you get reflects your home and your plans, not a generic job size.
Call to talk through what you want from your Leicester extension and we'll explain how it would work for your home, with no obligation either way. You can see more detail on our main house extensions page.
