Design
The design and drawing for this extension where done by Chartered Building Surveyors. extending a property like this requires full planning permission, with all drawings and building applications submitted and accepted prior to commencement.
Front Door Step
The step on the right was built using Quarry tiles and Staffordshire blue engineering bricks.
Steelwork
This design was to remove the lower part corner of the existing house, giving much more room to extend the kitchen. This is done by propping the ho
use up with acrow props as required to support the load bearing walls. You will need to have calculations done by a qualified Structural Engineer and submitted to Building Control.
In this case we used an RSJ and 'tee beam' bolted together with a third beam connecting from the old house to the new rear wall. The tee beam carries the load bearing wall above while the lower ones are removed giving more space.

The kitchen extension below is hiding the steel beams shown in the photo above and is part of a new kitchen project incorporating the existing property and new extension.
