If you love your home in Leicester but it no longer quite fits the way you live, a house extension could be the answer. Families grow, hobbies take over spare rooms, and more people are working from home than ever before. Rather than facing the stress and costs of moving, extending gives you the chance to adapt your current home into something that feels fresh, spacious, and tailored to your needs.
At Construction Interior Design Ltd, we’ve been delivering home extensions in Leicester and across the East Midlands for more than 30 years. Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design, creating bespoke extensions that improve how homes feel day to day. From kitchens that finally have room for family meals to light-filled studies that make working from home easier, every project is shaped around the people living in it.
Homeowners in Leicester often face the same dilemma: move or improve? For many, a house extension makes far more sense:
Stay rooted – you keep your neighbourhood, schools, and routines.
Better value – moving means stamp duty, agents, legal fees, removals… it adds up fast.
Space that works – design the layout you need rather than squeezing into one that doesn’t.
Add value – a well-built extension can lift your home’s market appeal by 15–20%.
Comfort all year round – with modern insulation and glazing, new spaces are energy-efficient and quiet.
We’ve seen families in Knighton add open-plan living areas that transformed the way they cook and eat together, while others in Oadby gained the home office they’d been juggling without for years. These real changes show that extending isn’t just about space, it’s about lifestyle.
We know construction can feel daunting, so we’ve shaped our process to be clear from the very start:
Free consultation – we visit your Leicester home, talk through ideas, and measure up.
Design and planning – our team creates drawings that balance practicality, style, and budget.
Permissions – not all home extensions in Leicester need planning permission, but we’ll handle checks and paperwork if they do.
Build phase – from foundations to roofing, plumbing, electrics, and finishes, everything is project managed in-house.
Final touches – flooring, lighting, plastering, and paint so the space is ready to move straight into.
Most projects run between 6 and 12 weeks, depending on scale. We’re proud of keeping disruption as minimal as possible.
Different homes suit different approaches, and our 30 years of experience mean we can guide you through the best option for yours:
Single-storey extension – ideal for bigger kitchens or open-plan living areas.
Double-storey extension – add bedrooms upstairs while enlarging living space below.
Side return extension – often used on Victorian terraces to open up narrow kitchens.
Wraparound extension – a combination of side and rear extensions for maximum impact.
Loft and garage conversions – a smart way to unlock underused spaces.
Each design is bespoke, ensuring your extension blends seamlessly with the look and feel of your property.

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.
