Home Extensions in Wexford
Outgrowing your home but not ready to move? A home extension is the perfect way to get more space without the stress of buying elsewhere. At KC Build, we help homeowners across Wexford create the extra room they need with solid, well-built extensions that blend in naturally with the original home.
Whether you’re adding a kitchen, extra bedroom, utility, or rear living space, we take care of the full job from start to finish. No hassle, no delays, and no chasing trades.
Add Space Without Moving
For many families, moving house isn’t ideal. The costs are high, the market is limited, and sometimes you’re already in the perfect location. Extending your current home is a smart way to stay where you are while making the space work better for your lifestyle.
We build:
Single-storey rear extensions
Side and wraparound extensions
Kitchen and open-plan living areas
Utility rooms and downstairs bathrooms
Bedroom and bathroom additions
Flat roof and pitched roof extensions
Each one is built with care, fully compliant, and made to feel like part of your home, not an afterthought.

Seamless Blending with Existing Homes
The best extensions look like they’ve always been there. We take the time to match materials, brickwork, and finishes so your extension flows with your existing home. Whether it’s matching roof pitch, aligning windows, or continuing internal flooring and lighting, we make sure everything feels natural and well put together.
If you’re going modern on an older house, we’ll help you design something that contrasts cleanly while still fitting in.
Common Reasons People Extend
We’ve helped all kinds of homeowners across Wexford create the space they need without moving. Some of the most common reasons people come to us for house extensions include:
A growing family needing an extra bedroom
Making room for a larger kitchen or dining area
Creating a home office or work-from-home space
Adding a utility or downstairs bathroom
Making the living area more open and connected
Preparing a home for long-term family living
Increasing resale value with added square footage
Whatever your reason, we’re here to help make it happen.
Rear Extensions
The rear of the house is the most popular location for home extensions. We’ve built everything from compact kitchen upgrades to large open-plan living spaces with bi-fold doors, rooflights, and underfloor heating.
If you’ve got the garden space, we’ll help you put it to better use, without sacrificing privacy or light.
Wraparound & Side Extensions
If your property has room to the side or rear, a wraparound extension can completely change the layout and feel of your home. We’ve done plenty of side and L-shaped builds that turned dark kitchens and tight hallways into bright, open family spaces.
These extensions often give you the chance to redesign the full ground floor, and we’ll guide you through the best layout options.
Garage Conversions & Add-Ons
Already have a garage but don’t use it? We can convert it into a fully insulated, liveable space with its own heating, lighting, and layout. Or we can build over it to create an extra bedroom or ensuite above.

FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a home extension in Wexford?
In many cases, you can build a single-storey extension without planning permission under the exempted development rules. However, if your extension is large or near a boundary, planning may be required. We’ll guide you through this based on your specific plans and location.
How much does a house extension cost?
It depends on the size, design, finishes, and access to the site. As a general guide, most home extensions in Wexford start from around €1,800 to €2,500 per square metre. We’ll give you a clear, detailed quote after the site visit.
How long does a typical home extension take?
Most standard rear or side extensions take between 8 to 12 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the build and weather conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before the job starts and keep you updated as it moves along.
Can I stay in my home during the build?
In many cases, yes. For single-storey rear extensions or side builds, it’s usually possible to stay at home while the work is done. We’ll plan the job in a way that causes as little disruption as possible.
Will the new extension match the existing house?
Yes. We take great care to blend the new structure with the original home. From matching brickwork to rooflines and finishes, the goal is to make your extension look like it has always been part of the house.
Do you provide the drawings or do I need to get them done first?
If you already have plans, we’re happy to work from them. If not, we can recommend trusted local architects and engineers to help with the design and planning. We’ll also assist with building control and planning applications if needed.
