This project in Cookridge consisted of demolishing the existing front porch and install a new single storey extension to the front to provide a new kitchen area and entrance hall way.

We have also had to remove the existing flat roof over the garage  and dining room to the rear of the property so that we can install steel beams as required to construct a new first floor extension to the side to create two new bedroom areas.

We have also removed an internal wall from the old kitchen area and installed a new RSJ beam which has been fitted between the existing first floor joists so that there is no bulk head and the ceiling  runs through level underneath the RSJ beam.

The first floor also requires a new en-suite and new bathroom area to an old rear bedroom, with all plumbing work being installed including a new boiler, unvented tank and radiators throughout to replace and old warm air system.The property is also undergoing a full electrical re-wire.

We also installed a new boiler along with a new unvented tank system for the client to service the extra demands of the three bathroom areas  for constant hot water and the extra demand of the extra radiators.

Two Storey Side Extension - Shell Only.
Guiseley, Leeds

We have just completed this two storey extension for a client in Guiseley, after previously completing a six bedroom house renovation for the client’s parents early last year.

The client only wanted the external shell completing, which included external walls, ground and first floors, roofed in and rendered. He was having a lot of internal work completed at the same time and decided he would take care of the internal work.

The project involved demolition of existing extensions to the side of the house, excavation and pouring of the foundations and concrete floor slab, construction of double skin block walls with two steel beams inserted for the first floor joists and the ridge beam for the roof timbers. The rear roof of the property was stripped and the rafters extended to the new ridge beam along with a new ridge beam and rafters over the new side extension to the rear.

The roof was covered with new Forticrete Hardrow tiles with the installation of three Velux windows to the roof space and one valley to the front of the property where the new roof joined the existing. The render was completed with a sponge finish to match the existing property and was to be painted with a latex grit sand paint by the client after we had completed the project.

We also installed a new drain run to the side of the property to take the rain water from the new extension and connected to the existing drain run to the front of the property.

Two Storey Side, Single Storey Rear Extension.
Colton, Leeds

This two storey side extension and single storey rear extension required the demolition and removal of a conservatory to the rear, removal of the existing foundations and new foundations excavating to a depth of 1.5m as the foundations on the conservatory had failed and was coming away from the main structure due to the foundations not being sufficient.

The two storey extension to the side required the installation of steel RSJ beams to the first and ground floor ceilings to provide support to enable the gable end of the existing house to be removed to open up the extension providing a much larger living room on the ground floor and a new bedroom and en-suite bathroom on the first floor.

There were also some internal alterations to the first floor of the property with the removal of an en-suite and blocking up of doors and re-design of the upstairs layout.

The client also decided to upgrade all the existing windows to the property and added an internal bi-fold door to the entrance to the rear single storey extension to the rear of the property.

The main roof of the property was a trussed roof just extending on from the original roof and the lean to roof on the single storey rear extension had two Velux windows added to the roof space to create more light into the room as the extension was south facing. The drainage for the whole property had to be routed round the externals of the extension and connect into the existing drain runs.

First Floor Rear Extensions.
Coal Hill Lane, Pudsey

This project involved building two first floor rear extensions to two neighbouring properties, removing the current dormer extensions and adding a trussed roof to both properties with a box valley to separate the properties at the top of the party wall between the properties.

One of the properties just had the extension of two bedroom and the addition of an extra store room to the internals, whilst one of the properties had a complete re-design of the first floor layout which included removal of existing block walls and creation of a new bathroom along with three new bedrooms and the addition of a toilet, blocking up and moving of doorway to the bedroom to create an en-suite for the previous shower room.

Both properties also had the complete replacement of the fascia and soffit to the front and sides of the original property along with the insulating and new brown Upvc cladding to the front dormers

Part Two Storey, Part Single Storey Extension. Middlestown, Wakefield

This project involved demolishing the current garage attached to the side of the property and removing the decking area to the rear of the property before we could excavate the footings for this split level part two storey, part single storey extension to the side of the property.

The two storey extension was to the front of the property with the garage and bedroom above the garage with a new structural opening to the extension formed at the top of the original staircase into the new bedroom of the extension.

Behind the garage there was a single storey extension that included a utility room, a toilet and an office to the rear of the extension which was on a lower level to the centre part of the extension and had three steps down to the office area. We also created a structural opening to the ground floor to the rear, creating an entrance into the rear of the kitchen of the main house.

We had to use a different roof tile on the single storey extension due to the low pitch of the roof and gave the client a number of options to choose from so they were happy with the finished product. All the drainage for the house was re-routed to the side of the property.
