The existing house was a nineteen sixties design with a mono-pitch roof which the client wanted to replace with a more traditional design that increased the floor space by creating a new first floor.
The new design involved replacing the mono-pitched roof with a pitched roof, complete with dormers to the front.

We chose to raise the wallhead to allow the existing ground floor ceiling to remain in place.  This also created a space between the existing ceiling joists and new floor joists to run pipework and services.  To stabilise the existing structure we fitted a steel ring beam around the perimeter which also gave a solid footing to land the new roof trusses on.  The new first floor houses a new master bedroom, en-suite and dressing room running from front to back full width.  Two further double bedrooms are housed to the front, with a family bathroom and study to the rear while a snooker and entertainment room run full width at the other end of the house.

On the ground floor we reworked the existing W.C and utility room area and added a new conservatory to the West gable.   The front façade was overclad with granite facings and all the windows were replaced.  The double garage was also extended and had a new pitched roof added below which is housed a workshop.

The house has recently been valued at over £900,000 giving the client excellent value on his investment.
