Expanding Homes Across the Vale of Glamorgan
House extensions are more than just extra square footage; they’re an investment in your lifestyle and property. From open-plan kitchen diners to new bedrooms, home offices or sunlit garden rooms, extensions can dramatically improve how you use your home. Serving Barry, Penarth, Cardiff and neighbouring communities, Elite Construction creates spaces that blend seamlessly with your existing property, enhancing both its appearance and market value.

With a reputation built on quality, reliability and traditional craftsmanship, we’re the builder of choice for discerning homeowners across the region.
Types of House Extensions We Offer
We provide a comprehensive range of extension options, each tailored to your property and lifestyle:
- Kitchen Extensions – Create the open-plan, sociable kitchen you’ve always wanted, with more space for cooking, dining and entertaining.
- Garden Rooms – A versatile standalone space for a home office, gym, studio or guest retreat, separate from the main house.
- Garage Extensions – Convert or extend your garage into a functional living space, or add a new garage for extra storage and practicality.
- Loft Rooms – Make use of unused roof space to add a bedroom, home office or bathroom without extending your home’s footprint.
- Rear Extensions – Perfect for expanding kitchens, living rooms or dining areas with direct access to the garden. A rear extension can open up your home, bringing in natural light and creating a more social space.
- Side Extensions – Make smart use of side returns or driveways by adding valuable new rooms, from utility spaces to studies or guest bedrooms.
- Wrap-around Extensions – Combine a rear and side extension for maximum impact. This option dramatically increases floor space and allows for innovative layouts.
- Double-Storey Extensions – Add a second storey to create additional bedrooms, bathrooms or home offices without compromising your garden.
- Porches & Entrance Extensions – Enhance kerb appeal while improving storage and practicality at the front of your home.
Every project is carefully planned to respect the character of your property, no matter if it’s a modern build or a period home. We source materials to match existing brickwork and finishes, ensuring your new extension feels like it has always been part of the house.
