London has over 9 million residents crammed into some of the most expensive property in the world. The average house price is £554,000 - and in outer boroughs like Bexley, Havering, and Barking, families are choosing to extend rather than face the ruinous cost of moving. For extension companies, this city is the biggest market in the country.

If you build rear extensions, side returns, loft conversions, or wraparounds anywhere in London, Facebook ads can fill your diary faster than word of mouth ever will.

Why Facebook ads work for home extension companies in London

London homeowners face a brutal equation. Moving to a four-bedroom house costs £200,000 more than their current three-bed. A rear extension and loft conversion costs £80,000-120,000 and adds £150,000+ to the property value. The maths sells itself.

The outer boroughs are where the opportunity is greatest. Zones 3-6 are packed with 1930s semis, Victorian terraces, and post-war housing that is crying out for more space. Areas like Waltham Forest, Lewisham, Enfield, Bromley, and Croydon have seen huge growth in planning applications for extensions.

Starter houses in areas like Barking Riverside and Enfield sit between £350,000-450,000. These homeowners have enough equity to fund an extension but not enough to upsize. That makes them ideal customers - and Facebook puts you in front of them while they are still thinking about it, before they start searching Google.

What Facebook ad targeting looks like in London

London is too large to target as a single area. We break it into zones based on where your team operates. A typical setup might target a 15-mile radius from your base, covering 8-12 boroughs where you can realistically quote and deliver.

We target homeowners aged 30-55 with interests in home renovation, architecture, interior design, and property investment. We exclude central London postcodes where most residents are in flats, and focus on the suburban boroughs where extensions are most common.

Even targeting a slice of London, you are looking at a reachable audience of 500,000-800,000 people. London's density means your ads get seen by more qualified homeowners per pound spent than almost anywhere else in the country.

What results to expect from extension ads in London

London has higher competition but also higher project values. Here is what we typically see for extension companies.

MetricTypical range
Cost per lead£30-45
Leads per month (£2,000 spend)45-65
Leads per month (£4,000 spend)90-130
Lead to quote rate25-35%
Quote to sale rate20-30%

The average London extension is worth £60,000-120,000. One sale from Facebook can pay for six months of ad spend. Even at the higher end of lead costs, the return on investment is extraordinary.

Every lead is exclusive to you. No other extension company sees it. Check our results page for real examples of what this looks like in practice.

We only work with one extension company per London zone

London is big enough that we split it into zones. But within your zone, you are the only extension company we work with. Your leads are yours alone.

This matters because most agencies will happily take money from three builders in the same borough. You end up bidding against yourself in the same auction, driving your costs up and your results down.

We cap it at one partner per zone. Once you have locked in South East London, or North London, or wherever your team operates - that territory is yours. No competitor gets access to the same audience through us.

London zones fill quickly. If you want to secure your area, book your free ad audit and we will map out exactly what is available.

Frequently asked questions

How much do extension leads cost in London?

Typically £30-45 per lead. London CPMs are higher than the rest of the UK, but project values are also 2-3x higher, so the return on investment is excellent.

Can you target specific boroughs within London?

Absolutely. We build campaigns around your operating area. If you only work in South East London, we target Bromley, Lewisham, Greenwich, and Bexley - not the whole city. This keeps your leads local and your costs down.

Do you already work with an extension company in London?

We split London into zones and take one extension company per zone. Contact us to check which zones are still available. Popular areas fill fast.
