How much does a home extension cost in Romford?

Plan for roughly £25,500–£89,500 for a home extension in Romford, before any premium finishes. 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. What you pay depends mainly on single vs double storey and floor area and foundations and structural work, plus planning, glazing and finish quality. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.

Figures are a 2025 guide only — your matched installer will give you an accurate, no-obligation quote.

How long does it take?

In Romford, expect a typical home extension to take about 3–6 months once work begins.

  • Check planning permission. Most larger projects need planning and building-regs approval — check early.
  • Hire a structural engineer. Essential where load-bearing walls are removed, for safety and compliance.
  • Set a clear budget. Allow a 10–15% contingency for unforeseen costs during the build.

Why a home extension makes sense in Romford

For many Romford homeowners, a home extension is the practical alternative to moving. A well-built extension typically adds both significant living space and long-term property value.
