A brighter room with better connections
Daylight designed early
We consider roof shape, glazing and room depth before construction starts.
Access kept practical
We plan temporary routes and separation around your occupied home.
Finishes properly coordinated
We order services, plastering and joinery to protect the completed room.
Create useful space at ground level
A single storey extension can make room for a larger kitchen, brighter living area, home office or more open family space without adding another floor. The design needs to suit your property, daily routine and intended budget, not just fill the available ground. We look at roof form, glazing position and the opening into the existing room because these choices control daylight, circulation and how spacious the result feels. We can support the planning and building-regulations route, then coordinate groundworks, foundations, brickwork, structural openings, RSJs, insulation, windows and external doors. Each stage is tied back to the agreed design rather than treated as a separate job.
Keep the home apart from the build
Ground-level work affects garden access, deliveries and the rooms beside the new structure. We'll plan temporary routes, material storage and separation between occupied areas and the active site. Foundations and structure come first, followed by the roof and a clear weatherproofing milestone before vulnerable internal work begins. Heating, plumbing and electrics are then coordinated with plastering, flooring, tiling, carpentry and joinery. Final quality checks pick up finishing details before handover. You'll know the broad order in advance, including when access arrangements are likely to change.
Frequently asked questions
Which roof works best for a ground-floor extension?
It depends on the house, available height, drainage and the light you want inside. We'll review roof form alongside glazing and the connection to existing rooms, with design input where the project requires it.
How is the house protected during construction?
We plan temporary separation and aim to complete the shell, roof, windows and external doors before vulnerable finishes begin. Exact arrangements depend on the opening and access, and we'll discuss them before that stage.
Can the extension include a new kitchen?
Yes. A larger kitchen is a common use for ground-level space. We can coordinate the room layout with plumbing, electrics, lighting, fitted units, flooring and the structural opening into the existing property.
