Alteration to Kitchen Room

Lees Building Contractors Ltd transformed an existing kitchen space with a modern open‑plan alteration, then enhanced the home’s exterior by adding a stylish first‑floor balcony. This project marries functional interior reconfiguration with an elegant outdoor living feature.

Key Works & Features

• Kitchen Room Alteration:

  • Removed non‑load‑bearing partitions to create an open‑plan layout

  • Installed a steel RSJ beam to support newly opened spans

  • Extended utility runs for new island cooker, sink and integrated appliances

  • Supplied and fitted bespoke cabinetry, quartz countertops and tiled splashbacks

• First‑Floor Balcony Addition:

  • Constructed a reinforced concrete slab with waterproof membrane

  • Framed timber or steel support posts tied into existing structure

  • Installed frameless glass balustrades and powder‑coated stainless‑steel posts

  • Laid composite decking boards with integrated drainage channels

• Structural & Weatherproofing Works:

  • Applied new flashings and leadwork at the balcony‑wall junction

  • Upgraded external outlets and lighting for evening ambience

  • Ensured balcony falls and expansion joints to prevent water pooling

Specialist Techniques & Materials

• Steel Beam Installation: Precision cutting and installing RSJ with padstones to maintain ceiling heights.

• Waterproof Balcony System: Two‑coat liquid membrane and slip‑resistant flooring for long‑term durability.

• Custom Joinery: CNC‑made kitchen units in moisture‑resistant MDF with soft‑close hardware.

• Glass Balustrade Fixings: Base‑fix channel system for uninterrupted views and secure handrail attachments.

• Plumbing & Electrics: Re‑routed services concealed within carcassing, compliant with Part P and Part G regulations.

Why This Project Stands Out

• Seamless Indoor‑Outdoor Flow: The new balcony aligns with the kitchen’s sightlines, extending living space and natural light.

• Structural Precision: RSJ installation allowed removal of walls without compromising building integrity.

• Luxury Finishes: Quartz surfaces, bespoke cabinetry and frameless glass deliver a high‑end aesthetic.

• Low‑Maintenance Design: Composite deck boards and powder‑coated balustrades require minimal upkeep.
