Whether you want a larger kitchen, a playroom, or a new lounge area, we deliver stylish, solid builds that feel like they’ve always been part of your home.
With decades of experience and a background in carpentry and structural works, we handle everything from the groundworks to the finishing touches. We carefully assess your needs, work closely with architects, and tailor each extension to complement your property’s layout and style.
Every project begins with a detailed conversation and site visit, where we offer honest advice and outline your options. From design and structural planning to the final paintwork, we manage every stage with precision, care, and clean workmanship.
Our aim is to create a seamless new space that improves how you live day to day — without the stress. We focus on delivering lasting quality and a smooth process from start to finish.

Choosing Bear & Fox Construction for your home extension means working with a highly experienced builder who’s committed to quality, communication, and customer satisfaction. With over 30 years in the trade, we’ve completed a wide range of extensions, from modest side builds to large open-plan living spaces.
We bring the same care and attention to every project, no matter the size. You’ll always deal directly with the company owner, so your vision is heard and respected at every stage. We don’t just build to spec — we build with purpose, tailoring every step to your needs and property.
Every extension we complete includes expert coordination with architects, quantity surveyors, and building inspectors. Our contracts are transparent, our schedules are clear, and our pricing is honest.
With Bear & Fox, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the work is being carried out properly, professionally, and with real pride in the result.
How Much Do Home Extensions Cost In
East Sussex?
The cost of a home extension depends on the size, design, and complexity of the work involved. A smaller side return extension will naturally cost less than a full-width open-plan kitchen build with structural steelwork and bespoke fittings.
Factors that affect pricing include drainage requirements, kitchen or bathroom installations, heating upgrades, luxury features (like underfloor heating or bi-fold doors), and specialist joinery. The type of roof, glazing options, and internal finishes also impact the final figure.
To keep things simple, we follow a clear process: you receive a full, written quotation after we’ve assessed your plans and received input from the architect and QS (Quantity Surveyor). This includes all labour, materials, and timescales — with no hidden extras.
Once you’ve signed the contract and paid the deposit, your build is booked in. We keep you updated throughout and are always on hand to discuss any changes or ideas along the way.
