Site Preparation. Necessary hoarding is erected, and the site is cleared for groundworks to commence. If we have access only through the house, we will make sure floors are protected.
Groundworks. Foundation trenches are excavated, and soil is removed. We have the trenches inspected by the building inspector.
Concreting foundations. With the inspector’s approval, we proceed on to concreting the foundations.
Underground Soil Pipes. We divert or adjust any existing soil pipes, and install new ones as needed.
Walls. We construct the walls from the foundations up to the roof level. The building inspector will be coming to see the damp proof course laid to ensure there will be no rising damp issues.
Subfloor. The concrete subfloor that will be the base of the extended space is being concreted.
This a skeletal stage of the building process and your new extension starts to take form. You can now physically see all the new spaces that will be part of your home.
Roof Structure. The roof carcass is constructed according to specifications. For pitched roofs, we immediately cover the structure with a windproof membrane. In the case of flat roofs, a protective layer is applied.
Structural Openings. In most cases, the new construction is joined with the existing space. We ensure proper support for walls above the openings, install steel beams, and create the openings. Note that this stage may have taken place earlier in some projects.
At this stage, the newly created space becomes clear, giving you a sense of what the finished room will be.
External Works. Roofing work will commence, including the installation of skylights, fascias, and soffits, as well as the fixing of downpipes and gutters. If rendering or cladding is required, it will be done during this phase.
Windows and Doors. Typically, windows and doors are installed at this stage. However, in some cases, installation may occur later due to long lead times.
Internal Partitions. We will proceed with the partitioning of the rooms.
1st Fix Plumbing. We will install plumbing points for central heating radiators and any sanitary or kitchen equipment.
1st Fix Electrics. Electrical cables will be routed to designated sockets, switches, and lights, connecting to your existing or a specified fuse board location.
Insulation. The floors and roof will be insulated with high thermal efficiency materials. While walls are typically insulated during structural works, in the case of timber carcasses, wall insulation will be done at this stage.
Floor Screed. The floor will be concreted, providing a base for the installation of your finished flooring.
Drylining. Plasterboards will be fixed to external walls, partitions, and ceilings.
Plastering. Following the drylining, our professional plasterers will apply a skim coat to the walls and ceilings, preparing them for painting. We may pause briefly to allow the plaster to fully dry.
Tiling. If the project includes a bathroom installation, we will tile both the floors and walls. Additionally, tiling will be done for floors and splash-backs above kitchen worktops, if required.
2nd Fix Carpentry. Door frames, architraves, and doors, along with skirting boards, will be installed. If required, we can also install your kitchen.
2nd Fix Plumbing. At this stage, all central heating radiators, sanitary fixtures, and kitchen equipment will be fitted.
Painting and Decorating. Our painters decorators will meticulously apply undercoat and paint to all woodwork, walls, and ceilings, ensuring a flawless finish.
2nd Fix Electrics. All switches, sockets, and light fittings will be installed – your home extension is nearly completed.
Snagging. We will conduct a detailed inspection of all finishes, rectifying any issues that don’t meet our high standards.
Commissioning. Every electrical and plumbing installation will undergo a rigorous check.
Final inspection. At this point your house extension will be inspected for the final time by a building inspector.
Certification. You will receive all necessary certificates, confirming that your home extension complies with building regulations and best practices.
Handover. It’s time to enjoy your newly extended and improved home.
