Releasing money from house

Good evening, just wondered if anyone could offer some advice
We own our property outright, valued at £100,000
We are wanting to extend our property, make some other improvements and mop up a few debts using the value in the house to do so.
Is this as simple as remortgaging the house or is it called something else. Looking to borrow approx £65,000

    It's not as simple as just remortgaging.

    Not all lenders would consider it a remortgage.
    All lenders would want to know where the money is to be spent and will have limits on how much and what purpose they will lend for
