How much does a home extension cost in Islington?

A typical Islington home extension works out at about £25,500–£89,500 in 2025. London is the most expensive part of the UK for building work, well above the national average — Greater London labour and materials are a real factor. Expect single vs double storey and floor area and planning, glazing and finish quality to move the price most, along with foundations and structural work. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.
