Homes in Corby are wonderfully varied, from post-war semis and Victorian terraces to newer estates on the edge of town. But no matter how well a house is built, there comes a point when the space simply doesn’t work anymore. If your home feels cramped or your layout no longer fits the way you live, a house extension can be the smart way forward.
At Construction Interior Design Ltd, we specialise in bespoke home extensions in Corby and the surrounding areas. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, our family-run team has helped countless homeowners unlock the true potential of their homes. From light-filled kitchens to double-storey builds, we focus on creating extensions that feel seamless, practical, and tailored to your lifestyle.
Like many towns, Corby has its quirks when it comes to planning. Some estates have restrictions set by developers, while older conservation areas may require designs that blend carefully with existing character. Local councils also keep a close eye on how extensions affect light and privacy for neighbours.
Our role is to make this side of things easier. We provide guidance on planning permission, permitted development rights, and liaise with architects where needed. We’ve been through the process hundreds of times, so you won’t be left second-guessing what’s allowed.
Moving home is a major upheaval. Aside from the obvious stress of packing up and settling somewhere new, there are big financial factors to consider (stamp duty, solicitor fees, estate agent costs, removals, and often renovations once you’re in). Staying put and extending is often more cost-effective and far less disruptive. A house extension in Corby offers:
Tailored space – designed around you, not the needs of a previous owner.
Better flow – open-plan kitchens, larger dining areas, and sociable spaces.
Added value – in a competitive market like Corby, extensions often make homes more attractive to buyers.
Cost control – you decide where to prioritise budget and finishes.
For many families, the decision comes down to this: do you leave the neighbourhood you love, or do you reimagine the home you already have?
We don’t just provide our tailored home extension services in Corby, we work across the East Midlands:
Every property has its own opportunities and challenges. Over the years, we’ve delivered a wide variety of extensions across Corby, including:
Single-storey extensions – popular with growing families needing more kitchen and living space.
Double-storey extensions – ideal for adding both bedrooms and bathrooms while improving downstairs flow.
Loft conversions – often chosen in Corby’s older terraces, where attic space is just waiting to be used.
Garage conversions – perfect on newer estates where garages are rarely used for cars.
Wraparound extensions – maximise both side and rear space, transforming layouts into modern open-plan living.
Extensions vary massively in scope, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all price tag. A few of the main factors include:
Extension type – single, double, loft, garage, or wraparound.
Size and complexity – larger builds or unusual layouts increase cost.
Site conditions – groundwork, access, or demolition requirements.
Materials and finishes – from bricks and tiles to glazing and flooring.
Level of finish – whether you want a basic shell or a move-in-ready space.
It’s worth remembering that home extensions aren’t just a cost, they’re an investment. Many Corby homeowners see a strong return when selling, as well as the immediate lifestyle improvements.
We’ve spent over three decades in the construction industry, and during that time we’ve taken on everything from modest home upgrades to large commercial builds. That experience matters. It means we know how to problem-solve tricky layouts, work within conservation guidelines, and deliver projects that stand the test of time.
Our team is fully qualified, holding certifications such as CSCS, IPAF, and PASMA, so you can be confident in our professionalism. We’ve also worked with major national contractors like Simons Construction and Simpson Shopfitting, which has sharpened our eye for both detail and efficiency.
Being a family-run company, we also put personal service first. We keep you informed at every step, explain options in plain language, and make sure the process is as stress-free as possible. Extending your home should be exciting, not overwhelming.
Yes, we’re happy to work with your chosen architect or bring in our own trusted design partners. Either way, we’ll ensure everything runs smoothly from concept to construction.
Most extensions do require structural input, especially if you’re removing walls or building upwards. We’ll coordinate with experienced engineers as part of the process.
There will be some disruption, especially during structural work, but we take steps to minimise the mess and keep your home as liveable as possible. Clear communication is key throughout.
Yes — these types of homes are very commonly extended. We’ll assess the space available and talk you through the best options that meet regulations and maximise potential.
If the extension affects shared walls or is close to neighbouring boundaries, you may need to follow the Party Wall Act. We can guide you through the steps and support with any notices required.
