Extension incorporated front of roof with ease (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

increase

'extension' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'incorporated front of roof with ease' is the wordplay.
'incorporated' becomes 'inc'.
'front of' says to take the initial letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
The initial letter of 'roof' is 'r'.
'inc'+'r'+'ease'='INCREASE'

(Other definitions for increase that I've seen before include "Make larger in a sincere way" , "Make (amount) greater" , "Become greater in number" , "Grow, expand" , "step up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
