Showcasing Our Recent Double Story Extension Project

Embarking on a house extension project is not just about adding extra space—it's about transforming your existing home into the place of your dreams. More room means more memories, and with today’s lifestyle demands, extending your house can provide that much-needed space for a home office, an extra bedroom, or a sun-drenched reading nook. Not only does it enhance your living experience, but it also significantly boosts the value of your property.

Our recent double-story extension project is a testament to our commitment to turning visions into reality. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we brought this dream project to life.

Stage 1 – Laying the Groundwork

Our journey began with an in-depth site assessment, meticulously planning every detail to ensure the extension blends seamlessly with the existing structure. We marked the area, then moved on to excavation, uncovering the soil that would support the new addition to the home. Our team conducted a thorough soil inspection before laying down the footings, essential for a sturdy foundation. Concrete pouring followed, along with the construction of the walls. To protect the new structure from moisture, we implemented damp proofing and backfilling, culminating in the establishment of the final grade to ensure proper landscape integration and drainage.

Stage 2 – Building Up

With a solid foundation in place, we moved on to the bricklaying stage. Preparing the foundation and installing damp proof courses set the stage for the meticulous bricklaying process that would shape the extension. Installation of window and door frames soon followed, along with the construction of the gable end. We didn’t overlook the importance of reinforcement and insulation, ensuring the extension would be warm and energy-efficient. The installation of bifold doors was the finishing touch, blending indoor and outdoor spaces perfectly.

Stage 3 – Reaching New Heights

The third stage brought our extension skyward with the installation of an apex truss roof, complemented by gable end construction and fascia installation for aesthetic and structural integrity. Roof sheathing was applied, providing a waterproof barrier to protect the home. We then installed the first-floor joists, ceiling joists, and laid down insulation and subflooring, setting the stage for the rooms above.

Stage 4 – The Finishing Touches

In the final stage, we focused on the interior, starting with second-fix electrics and plumbing installations to ensure functionality and comfort. The decorating process gave personality to the space, with floor finishing adding the final aesthetic touch. A thorough final inspection and clean-up ensured the project met our high standards and was ready for the homeowners to enjoy.

This project is a proud example of our dedication to excellence in house extensions. If you’re dreaming of more space, let’s make it a reality together. Reach out to us to begin your home transformation journey.
