House Extensions designed and built....... An example!.
The family-run firm is based in Eastleigh, completing building extensions in the local area, in Southampton, Winchester, and the wider Hampshire area. Foundations and Footings The foundations and the footings built. The oversite you see here is made up from 150mm hardcore with a 40mm sand blinding followed by the 1200 gauge Damp Proof Membrane then the 100mm cellotex insulation seen here. The joints are taped and inspected by the Council then a 150mm concrete cap poured over the top.Building out of the ground
Extension Once the oversite is concreted the extension can take form. There is a 100mm cavity with 100mm Thermolight blocks and 50mm cellotex cavity insulation held in place with wall ties and buttons. Then there is the 100mm outside brick course. We are building on the back of the premises leaving the existing kitchen extension in situ and building over the top of the whole house to form the loft conversion without exposing the existing house to the weather.Blending new with old ..........
Blending new with old Firfix Extension to Main House. Here we are bolting onto one wall of the existing kitchen extension using firfix wall ties. The hole has been excavated for the drainage to be installed. There are 2 forms of connection either toothing in or as above using Fir-Fix wall ties

Roof tiles to match Velux windows in The new roof is now insulated, felt and battened and tiled in, and is now fully water tight. The new loft conversion is now built over the existing house and sheeted in every night to keep dry. Once the entire roof has been built and tiled, the inside work can commence.
