Extensions and PD

  • On a listed building, consent covers internal alterations as well as external ones, so a knock-through inside needs it just as an extension does.

  • Building control looks in the open trench first, and the new foundation ties into what is already under the house.

  • Engineers size the steels and the calculations reach building control before any structural cutting begins.

  • We take it through to paint rather than to plasterboard, so the room you get back is finished and usable.

Roof and garage

  • The volume allowance is measured off the original roof: forty cubic metres terraced, fifty on a semi or detached.

  • Rooflights, dormers and hip to gable, the floor structure designed rather than sat on the existing rafters.

  • Interlinked mains alarms, fire doors, and a stairway protected all the way down.

  • A converted garage needs the floor up, the opening closed and the walls lined.

Inside the home

  • A structural opening needs a steel and the calculation behind it, so the engineer comes in first rather than being called afterwards.

  • Rewires, heating, kitchens and bathrooms sequenced so that no two trades need the same room at once.

  • Party structure work takes two months' notice, and excavation near a neighbour's foundations takes one.

  • The plastering, joinery and decorating are specialists' work, and we clean the house before leaving.
