“In the UK, a well-planned extension can increase a home’s value by up to 20% according to property experts – and the benefits go far beyond just financial gain.”
At GL Glazing & Window Services, we see this first-hand. An extension is not just about adding space, it’s about transforming how you live in your home. More light. More comfort. More flexibility.
This project is one of our biggest yet, and the progress is exciting! From laying solid brickwork to installing timber framing and Aquapanel partitions, every stage is carefully planned and delivered with precision. Our goal is simple: create an extension that feels seamless, secure, and future-proof.
Project Progress So Far
