Single Storey Home Extension

Lees Building Contractors Ltd delivered a seamless single‑storey extension, perfectly integrating new living space with the existing home. The extension features a breathable render façade matched with the original property and a pitched roof clad in identical roof tiles, ensuring architectural cohesion and modern performance.

Key Works & Features

• Foundations & Groundworks:
  Precision excavation and reinforced concrete strip footings installed to structural engineer specifications, complete with waterproofing membrane and horizontal DPC for moisture protection.

• Cavity Wall Construction:
  Dense blockwork inner leaf with high‑performance cavity insulation and a durable silicone‑modified render finish, colour‑matched to the existing façade.

• Roof Integration:
  Engineered timber rafters and breathable felt underlay, tiled with reclaimed clay plain tiles identical to the main roof, including matching ridge and hip tiles.

• Joinery & Glazing:
  uPVC or aluminum‑framed double‑glazed windows and doors with deep reveals and flush‑fitted render trims for a sleek, unified appearance.

• Internal Fit‑Out:
  Plasterboard linings, skim finish, underfloor heating provisions, electrical wiring and decorative finishes prepared for immediate decoration or bespoke joinery.

• External Detailing:
  Precision butt‑joint render stops, matching soffits and fascias, and discrete uPVC rainwater goods to maintain clean lines and effective drainage.

Specialist Techniques & Materials

• Breathable Render System:
  Insulation boards with silicone render to allow moisture egress while resisting cracking and staining.

• Tile Matching & Laying:
  Salvaged and new roof tiles sorted by batch to achieve uniform colour and texture; laid with stainless‑steel battens and ring‑shank nails.

• Thermal Performance:
  Cavity insulation and underfloor heating preparation deliver low U‑values and reduced energy bills.

• Structural Steelwork:
  Powder‑coated steel lintels over large openings to allow for bi‑fold or sliding doors, integrated with cavity trays to prevent water ingress.

Why This Project Stands Out

• Flawless Integration: The extension’s render and tiles are indistinguishable from the original building, preserving its character.

• Enhanced Living Space: Open‑plan layout floods the new area with light, creating a versatile family room or kitchen‑diner.

• Energy Efficiency: Modern insulation and heating provisions ensure year‑round comfort and cost savings.

• Meticulous Finish: From flush render reveals to perfectly aligned roof courses, every detail reflects our commitment to excellence.
