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.
