Design your Chester home extension with hup!

Plan your perfect Chester extension with our guided design process

Great extensions begin with great design. hup! by Fortress works with homeowners across Chester and Cheshire to develop extension designs that balance aesthetic ambition with practical reality and planning compliance.

Our guided design process takes you from initial idea to a clearly specified project brief, ensuring you have a complete picture of your extension before committing to a build programme.


How our design process works

The hup! by Fortress design process begins with a free initial consultation at your Chester or Cheshire property. We assess your site, discuss your brief and explain the planning options relevant to your home, giving you a solid foundation on which to develop your design.

From there, we develop outline proposals that explore the layout, dimensions and structural configuration of your proposed extension, working iteratively until the design reflects precisely what you are looking for.

We serve homeowners across Saltney, Ellesmere Port, Northwich and Neston through this process, as well as those further afield in Wrexham, Mold and across North Wales.

Choosing your finishes and glazing

One of the most enjoyable parts of the hup! design process is selecting the external finishes and glazing configurations that will define the look of your extension. Fortress guides you through the full range of options available within the hup! system.

From render and brick slip wall finishes to frameless aluminium glazing and bifold door configurations, each choice is considered in the context of your existing property, your neighbourhood and any planning constraints that apply in your area.

For homeowners in Tarporley, Tattenhall, Frodsham and the historic villages of Cheshire, we understand how to balance contemporary extension design with the character of the local built environment.
