Extension in Hedge End

Current Project

On this build we are extending the rear of the property and removing walls to create an open plan kitchen diner. We are also putting a small extension on the front of the property, which will provide an additional toilet as well as improving the curb appeal of the property.

There will be extensive internal works, including the new kitchen and full redecoration though the ground floor of the house.

The plastering is almost complete, bar the extension cieling which might have to wait as we are planning something a bit special in the skylights.

We’re focusing more on the far end of the room at the moment, as it’s almost ready for the kitchen to be fitted, which is always a big milestone in any project.

Quite a bit of progress since my last post, it’s amazing the difference a few weeks can make!

The roof is on, skylights aned doors fitted, electrical and plumbing first fixes all done and plasterboarding underway.

The temporary wall we built to keep the client as comfortable as possible during earlier stages of the build has been removed and you finally get to see what a lovely open space they’re going to be left with, open plan living at its best!

That’s the roof built, one step closer to being in and dry. You can see the holes made ready to take the velux windows and really stat to get a feel for the space when you stand inside it with something overhead, rather than just open sky. The remaining brickwork can now be built up into the roof structure and then we will be ready to start weatherproofing the site.

The brickwork is coming up, soon the plates will be on and the roof can be built. Sorry the site is a bit of a state, I dropped in on the alds when they were hard at work, we leave the site much tider than this when we go home!

The block and beam is in giving us a floor area to work from and abetter impression of where levels will be when we are finished. The back wall has been removed and a steel has been put it its place with solid engineering brick piers to support it.

The weather has been giving us a really hard time on this one but the lads have soldiered on and got the brickwork up to damp course level. This is also the levelthe block and beam floor will sit at, so pockets have been removed ready to take the beams.
