A rear extension built from the ground up, proper foundations, steel where it counts, and a new structure tied seamlessly into the home.
Every dependable extension begins with what you can't see. We excavated deep, square foundations down to firm bearing strata, working carefully around existing drainage and services and protecting the runs we kept.
Done right at this stage, everything above sits solid for the life of the building.
Up came the new footings in dense engineering brick, levelled and tied in ready for the floor slab. Long structural steel beams were craned in to carry the openings and the new floor above, the backbone that lets the inside open right up.
Openings were toothed neatly into the existing brickwork so old and new knit together.
With the walls up, a new timber roof structure was cut and fixed over the extension, lapped into the existing roofline and weatherproofed. Lead detailing and matched brickwork make the join all but invisible from the garden.
Excavated to firm ground, with existing drainage protected and rerouted.
Engineering-brick footings and structural steel to carry the openings.
New masonry toothed into the existing wall and the roof tied in watertight.
