Kitchen-Led Rear Extension
Layout type: straight rear run with island-friendly circulation
Ideal when you want to open up a dated kitchen and create one connected cooking, dining and social zone with strong garden views.
hup! Home Extensions in Kent
hup! Extensions Built for Faster, Better Everyday Living
Homebrite designs and installs hup! extensions that combine flexible layouts, practical roof options and coordinated delivery, so your new space works from the first week you move in.
- Fast extension pathways with predictable on-site sequencing
- Layout-first design to suit kitchens, lounges and multi-use family space
- Roof and glazing options planned together for all-season comfort
- One Homebrite team from measured survey to final handover
Extension Use-Cases and Layout Types
Every hup extension starts with how you want to use the room. These are common layout routes we tailor for homeowners across Kent.
Multi-Zone Family Extension
Layout type: wide rear footprint with lounge and dining zones
Works well for households that need everyday flexibility, letting you zone seating, dining and homework areas within one practical extension.
Home Office and Utility Corner
Layout type: corner or side-return infill with focused task space
A smart route where you need dedicated work or utility space without sacrificing the main lounge. Openings and wall positions are tailored around routine use.
Garden-Facing Lounge Extension
Layout type: open-plan rear elevation with indoor-outdoor connection
Best for homeowners who want a brighter lounge footprint with improved door placement and clearer flow from interior space to the patio.
Five Core Value Points of hup! Extensions
These five value areas help homeowners compare hup against other extension routes before final specification decisions are made.
Speed
Fast Route to a Usable Extension
Off-site preparation and coordinated installation reduce prolonged wet-trade disruption and keep the build path easier to manage.
Flexibility
Design Freedom Around How You Live
Room shape, openings, ceiling style and finish direction are planned around day-to-day use, not forced into a one-size template.
Efficiency
Year-Round Thermal Performance
Roof, wall and glazing choices are combined as one system to support comfort through colder months and better control in summer.
Quality
Consistent, High-Quality Finish
Measured specification and controlled component prep help deliver cleaner lines, tighter detailing and a room that feels part of the home.
Single-Team Delivery
One Team, One Programme, One Handover
You work with a single Homebrite project route for design, technical checks, installation and aftercare with clear accountability throughout.
Roof Options and Specification Guidance
Roof choice should be made alongside glazing, ventilation and layout planning. Reviewing these together early leads to stronger long-term outcomes.
Flat Roof Option
A flat roof route suits contemporary extensions where crisp external lines and controlled internal ceiling height are priorities.
Compare solid roof routes
Tiled Roof Option
A tiled roof pathway helps extensions blend with existing rooflines while strengthening thermal performance for full-time room use.

Glazed Integration
Targeted glazed areas can be integrated with solid roof design to balance daylight, views and heat control in the same extension.

Specification Checklist Before Sign-Off
- Set target room use first: kitchen-dining, lounge, office or mixed family zoning.
- Align roof style with insulation expectations, rooflight positions and visual continuity.
- Confirm window and door placement early to protect furniture flow and circulation routes.
- Review U-values, solar control and acoustic priorities before final material sign-off.
- Check planning constraints and boundary context before ordering to avoid redesign delays.
Project Outcomes From Recent Extension Briefs
These case-style snapshots show how layout choices, roof strategy and specification decisions translate into practical day-to-day outcomes.
Open-Plan Kitchen Outcome
Outcome: Clear circulation between cooking, dining and garden doors for daily family use.
This project focused on replacing a cramped rear layout with one open extension zone that could handle weekday routines and weekend hosting equally well.
Tiled Roof Family Room Outcome
Outcome: Better temperature stability and a more lounge-focused finish through winter.
A tiled roof and updated glazing specification helped convert an underused rear room into a dependable all-season family extension.
Compact Footprint Improvement
Outcome: Added practical floor function without extending beyond the existing patio line.
By refining opening positions and internal zoning, this smaller-footprint project delivered a stronger day-to-day room flow with minimal wasted area.
How a hup! Extension Project Moves Forward
We keep each stage clear so design choices, cost visibility and installation timing stay aligned from first visit to final handover.
Step 1
Measured Survey and Design Brief
We assess the existing rear elevation, capture dimensions and agree the room function, layout priorities and extension style direction.
Step 2
Layout Concept, Roof Path and Budget Scope
You receive a clear design route covering roof choice, glazing level, openings and finish options with transparent cost drivers.
Step 3
Technical Preparation and Programme Lock
Technical checks and off-site preparation are completed before site work so installation stages remain predictable and coordinated.
Step 4
On-Site Installation and Finishing
Installers complete the build sequence, weatherproofing and finishing details so the extension is handed over ready for regular use.
Step 5
Completion, Checks and Aftercare
We complete final checks and provide care and guarantee guidance so maintenance and long-term expectations are clear from day one.
hup! Extensions FAQs
How quickly can a hup extension be built?
Timings depend on design scope and site conditions, but hup projects are typically structured to shorten the on-site construction phase compared with many traditional extension routes.
Can I choose between flat, tiled and glazed roof designs?
Yes. Roof design is selected around planning context, daylight preference and all-season comfort goals. Many projects combine solid and glazed elements in one coordinated specification.
Is hup suitable for kitchen extensions and family rooms?
Yes. hup is often used for kitchen-led extensions, lounge expansions and multi-zone family spaces where layout flexibility and predictable delivery are priorities.
Will I need planning permission?
Some extensions fall within permitted development, while others require formal permission. We review planning context and property constraints before finalising your build route.
How do I get an accurate price for a hup extension?
Start with an Instant Quote and then move to a measured survey. Final pricing is based on confirmed dimensions, roof strategy, glazing package and finishing choices.
Who manages the project from start to finish?
Homebrite manages the full delivery path, including design coordination, technical preparation, installation scheduling and final handover support.
