Lees Building Contractors Ltd delivered a luxurious first‑floor bedroom extension complete with a bespoke en suite bathroom and walk‑in dressing room. The standout feature is an English oak principal trussed roof, hand‑crafted and traditionally pegged for authenticity and structural elegance.


Key Works & Features

  • Timber‑Framed Extension:
    Structural carpentry to extend the first floor over an existing footprint, creating generous space for a master suite.

  • English Oak Principal Trussed Roof:
    Hand‑cut oak trusses assembled on‑site with through‑pegged mortise‑and‑tenon joints—celebrating traditional craftsmanship.

  • En Suite Bathroom:
    Fully waterproofed level‑access wet‑room with tiled shower area, floating vanity, underfloor heating and premium fixtures.

  • Walk‑In Dressing Room:
    Bespoke fitted wardrobes, shelving and island unit crafted in oak veneer, maximising storage and luxury feel.

  • Roof Covering:
    Breathable underlay and matching clay plain tiles or natural slate tied into the main roof for seamless weatherproofing.

  • Windows & Glazing:
    Custom timber casement windows with slimline double glazing, integrated with oak reveals and sills.


Specialist Techniques & Materials

  • Traditional Oak Joinery:
    English oak selected for grain quality, air‑dried and precision‑machined in our workshop before on‑site pegging.

  • High‑Performance Insulation:
    Rafter‑level insulation and insulated plasterboard ceilings to achieve modern U‑values without compromising roof height.

  • Weatherproof Flashings:
    Lead soakers and step‐flashings carefully dressed to the oak carpentry for lasting protection at junctions.

  • Bespoke Fittings:
    Oak veneer wardrobe carcasses, soft‑close hardware and integrated LED lighting for a tailored finish.


Why This Project Stands Out

  • Heritage Craftsmanship: The traditionally pegged oak trusses showcase time‑honoured carpentry techniques.

  • Seamless Integration: The extension blends with the existing home through matching roof tiles and complementary brick or render finishes.

  • Luxury Living: A designer en suite and bespoke dressing room elevate everyday comfort and functionality.

  • Thermal Efficiency: Modern insulation and glazing deliver energy savings and year‑round comfort.
