Here in the photo gallery you will see a small but varied selection of typical domestic construction projects.

Bedrooms above an existing garage
The existing property had a full length garage at the side which the client wished to retain but needed two additional bedrooms. It was decided to build another floor above the existing garage roof; this would allow the existing garage and utility to remain functional whilst the construction work went on.

Competion

Garden room extension

The client had an old conservatory that had become a little tired over the years and found it too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter; therefore it was no longer being used to its full potential and was also taking up valuable space that could be put to better purposes. They decided that it was best to remove the conservatory and construct a garden room extension in its place so it could be used all year round.

Extension of garden wall

Porch under existing canopy

The home owner was fed up of the drafty front door but didn’t want to change it for a new one as they liked the old hardwood style; it was decided to turn the open spaced covered entrance into a modern porch with a secure locking system leaving his original door in place.

Working from home due to Coronavirus?

Perhaps you need a Garage conversion!

Has your home become a works environment during this pandemic and you need a little more room?

Are you using one or more rooms as temporary offices and work is getting in the way of home life?

Do you have a garage that you are not really using to its full potential? Then perhaps a garage conversion maybe the answer as it can provide a warm habitable living or working room at an affordable cost without having to build an extension!

Formed opening from existing dining room into new conservatory

In this instance the client’s had an old conservatory that was a little tired and a bit cold during the winter months and so it wasn’t being used to its full potential. It was decided to replace the existing conservatory with a new modern conservatory, this would have a pitched tiled thermally insulated roof and the latest A+ gas filled double glazing. By forming an opening between the existing dining room and new conservatory it has created a lovely warm usable are for both summer and the winter months.

Big porch under existing extension

The house owners felt that the open area carport wasn’t being used to its best potential so they decided to enclose it and create a big porch area that would double up as an extra room if required. It was designed in such a way that with a few minor internal alterations to the existing entrance, the living room could be extended an additional 1.5 metres in the future should the need arise!

Two storey extension comprising of a master bedroom with and Ensuite. A large extended kitchen/dining room, utility, cloaks and garage store room

We extended a typical three bedroom detached house to provide additional room, convenience and value to the property. The customer required an additional master bedroom with an Ensuite, a large dining room and kitchen with a utility and cloaks; they also required some safe storage area within the property. To achieve this we demolished the existing garage so as to utilise the land available, we then constructed an extension entire length of the existing house. To create the large dining/kitchen area we removed the existing kitchen gable wall; by doing this it allowed the new build to become part of the existing room thus creating one very large room. A utility cloaks and lockable store room was accessible off the large kitchen area.

Bedrooms and ensuite above the existing garage/utility

We extended a typical three bedroom detached house to provide additional room, convenience and value to the property. The customer required an additional master bedroom with an Ensuite and the existing small front bedroom enlarging. To achieve this we built over the entire length of the existing garage and utility. We removed the outer skin of brickwork to the existing gable wall which has provided an extra 160mm of extra width within the new master bedroom. We removed the existing upper gable wall to the front small bedroom; by doing this it allowed the new build to become part of the existing room thus creating one large bedroom. As you can see the extension looks as though it has always been there.

Large extension above an existing garage
We extended a typical four bedroom detached house to provide additional room, convenience and value to the property. In this instance the client required a utility and a study room to the ground floor. To the upper floor they required an extra large master bedroom with a walk through wardrobe which would lead to an Enuite bathroom. To achieve this we built around and over the entire length of the existing garage. We removed the existing upper gable wall to the front bedroom which formed part of the new master bedroom, Ensuite and walk through wardrobes. As you can see the extension looks as though it has always been there.

Two storey side extension to a tapered boundary

The client's requirements were for a two storey side extension with a garage at the front and an enlarged kitchen/dining room to the rear. The first floor was to incorporate a bedroom to the front and an Ensuite at the rear. The problem was that the available land had a boundary line set at an angle. This was overcome by stepping the building back along its length which gave the extension a pleasing look which satisfied the local planning department and also the client.

Bedrooms extended over the existing garage

We extended a typical four bedroom detached house to provide additional room, convenience and value to the property.

To achieve this we built over the entire length of the existing garage/utility and removed the existing upper gable wall to the front and rear bedrooms, by doing this it allowed the new build to become part of the existing room thus creating larger bedrooms. The additional bedroom was constructed between the front and rear bedrooms which is accessed off the landing.

Single story extension

The client had an old conservatory that had become a little tired over the years and was no longer being used to its full potential, it was also taking up valuable space that could be put to better purposes. They decided that it was best to remove the conservatory and construct an extension in its place. This would open up and extend the existing lounge/dining room into the new summer room which would feature the latest bi-fold patio doors to give them the additional light they required on the one side whilst giving them a spacious ground floor shower room in the other side.

Kitchen extension to rear of existing garage


In this instance the client had an old conservatory that was no longer in use and was taking up valuable space that could be put to better purposes, therefore it was decided that we would remove the conservatory and extend the existing kitchen outward by building on the rear of the existing garage. By removing part of the existing kitchen gable wall it opened up the entire area to form one large kitchen.


Brick Porch

We constructed a brick porch under the existing canopy foot print to give the client some extra space and provide more security to the existing front entrance.

Garage conversion

Need a little more room but don't want a large extension? Then perhaps a simple garage conversion maybe the answer! The client required more habitable living space without having to build an extension, to overcome this we converted their existing garage into a habitable room which has provided the client with that extra living space at an affordable cost.
