Trusted Extension Builders Delivering High-Quality House Extensions Across Devon and Cornwall

Adding space to your home is one of the best investments you can make and doing it well makes all the difference. We manage every stage ourselves, from initial groundworks and structural steelwork through to roofing, windows, insulation and internal finishing.

We build rear extensions, side extensions, side returns, single-storey and double-storey extensions, full wrap-around builds and loft conversions — working to your architect’s drawings or helping you develop a brief from scratch. Our full in-house team means no juggling between separate contractors, no gaps in communication and no unexpected issues left for you to resolve. One team, one point of contact, one consistent standard of work.

Rear Extensions & Single-Storey Builds

Create more space for open-plan living, larger kitchens and dining areas, while improving the connection between your home and garden.

Double-Storey & Side Extensions

Add valuable space upstairs and down, from extra bedrooms and bathrooms to larger living areas and home offices.

Full Wrap-Around Extensions

Combine rear and side extensions to maximise your available space and completely transform the layout of your ground floor.

Loft Conversions

Turn unused loft space into a bedroom, bathroom or home office, with the full conversion managed from structure through to finishing.

Every extension project we take on is treated as an opportunity to genuinely improve a home.

We’re not interested in quick turnarounds at the expense of quality — we care about the details, the finish and the long-term result as much as our clients do.

We work across Devon and Cornwall — including Plymouth, Ivybridge, South Hams, Tavistock and the wider South West. Browse our recent projects to see examples of our extension and loft conversion work across the region.

Andrew and his team completed a complete renovation of our home. We asked Andrew to come in prior to the work to give us some ideas about what would look right for the home and layout we were after. He has a fantastic creative eye and his attention to detail is second to none. Andrew worked quickly on our our project and you could see notable progress as the days and weeks passed ! He always kept us updated with his progress and where he hoped to be by the end of that week's work so clearly had a plan. His carpentry skills are second to none and he had fantastic ideas to enhance the finished work. Andrew dealt and liased with fellow traders and suppliers which took alot of stress out of the project. And the end result was a fantastic house which suits all of our needs. We are delighted with the work carried out and I really can recommend this professional,creative builder. He has continued to stay in touch with us with follow up calls to ensure we are happy with the completed work which shows a commitment to great customer care.

Hobbs Homes did a fantastic job of completing our house renovation project in Totnes. Andy and his team provided a 1st class service and delivered a high end construction, fit and finish at a competitive rate. Using Hobbs Homes took the stress out of our house renovation and we can’t recommend their services enough. From the initial layout designs all the way to build completion, Andy and his team went the above and beyond to make sure the project was a great success!

How We Manage Your Extension From Start to Finish

Our process is straightforward and designed to take the stress out of extending your home. We begin with a site visit and honest conversation about your plans, then produce a clear, itemised quote — no vague estimates, no surprises once work begins on site.

From groundworks and steelwork through to the final snag, our team handles every stage. We keep you updated throughout, manage all trades and building control inspections ourselves, and don’t hand over until everything is exactly right.

The Four Stages of an Extension With Hobbs

Our process is simple, clear and designed to take the stress out of extending your home.

STAGE 1.
Initial Consultation & Detailed Quote

We  assess the site and talk through your ideas in full. You receive a detailed quote covering all stages of the build — so you know exactly what’s included and what to expect before we start.

STAGE 2.
Groundworks & Structure

We prepare the site, complete all groundworks and lay foundations before constructing the structural frame, steelwork and brickwork, then onto ensuring the extension is weather-tight.

STAGE 3.
First Fix, Insulation & Internal Build

First fix plumbing and electrics, insulation, plasterboarding and plastering. This is the stage that underpins the quality of the finish and where our experienced approach really counts.

STAGE 4.
Finishing, Snagging & Handover

Second fix electrics, plumbing, flooring, joinery, decoration and all final details are completed before a snag check. We walk you through the finished space, resolve every item on the list and hand over.
