Googling or frantically searching to see how much a home extension would cost in 2025? Look no further, at HeatGuard, we’re here to offer outstanding products and services, with transparency on prices and their volatility. This article aims to give you a debrief into the cost breakdown of a traditional extension, and the new revolutionary hup! extension, so that you can be clued up, and ready to make the purchasing decision.
The truth is that the majority of extensions are going to have fluctuating prices. From the day you plan out exactly what you want, to the day the foundations are being laid down, to the day the extension starts to take real shape. That’s due to a multitude of factors, including: the size of the area the extension will be in, the actual shape and size of the extension, all your customisation options such as brick colour and style, doors, roofs, and windows. Just to name a few…!
hup! extensions are the latest and best home extension on the market. You might be reading this and thinking I don’t even know what a hup! is… well, you can find out all about them here. Then you’ll most likely come back to this and be thinking “I need one”. They’re lower cost than your standard brickwork extension and have less volatility in their pricing. You can expect rough ballpark figures for hup! extensions to vary based on the design you choose. hup! extensions start at £20,000 and can range all the way up to more than £50,000. This is due to the extensive customisation offers you can have with a hup! as well as the best-in-class windows and doors we offer here at HeatGuard. For example, for a more expensive hup!, you may opt for half glass and half panelled roofing, long bi-fold doors, or you may prefer one shaped hup! to another. The bottom line is that hup! extensions cost less on average than a traditional brickwork extension and don’t fluctuate in price like a brickwork extension due to the ‘one builder, one price’ aspect of a hup! construction process.
Traditional extensions could become a thing of the past with the “many headaches associated with them” as quoted by TV’s Laura Jane Clark, as well as the rise of hup!. The upfront costs of a traditional extension are higher than a hup!. A base level basic design traditional brickwork extension will start at £28,000 and can reach over £58,000. That’s before any issues with building regulations, quality of the foundation at the property, or changes in prices to building materials enter the fray. Furthermore, looking into the future at heating costs, the hup! is FIVE times more energy efficient than a traditional extension, meaning the traditional extension also has higher long-term costs, as well as higher initial costs.
To conclude, for a single-storey extension, the hup! extension is the better choice on all aspects, not just pricing, as explained here. Cheaper up-front costs, combined with more energy efficiency, which in turn keeps the future energy bills down, sounds like a no-brainer. hup! extensions are the future of home extensions, and if you would like to get a quote or find out more, then contact us on 01246 250 600 or fill in our contact form here.
