Single-Story Extension in Arnside

Our project in Arnside involved everything from precision demolition to elegant stonework and bespoke joinery.

We efficiently handled complex structural changes, including the installation of RSJs for knock-throughs and meticulous alterations to existing openings. Our skilled team also delivered flawless roofing, rendering, and plastering to enhance the home’s value and appeal.

the client

In the scenic town of Arnside, a family wanted more space in their home.

They approached us to build a single-story extension, hoping to expand their living area and improve the look of their family home.

our objective

Our goal was clear.

We needed to construct a robust and beautiful single-story extension that not only met the family's space needs but also blended seamlessly with their existing home.

We focused on ensuring that every aspect of the new structure—from foundation to finish—echoed the quality and style of their current residence.

how we did it

project planning

Thorough planning was crucial.

We started by looking at the existing property and talking to the family about their needs.

After several consultations, we developed a blueprint that included all the wanted features: additional living space, a modern look, and enhanced accessibility.

We paid special attention to fit new with old, ensuring the extension would complement the existing structure both in use and visually.

getting to work

Construction began with demolition of the unnecessary parts of the existing structure to make room for the extension.

We then moved on to groundworks, laying a solid foundation, followed by concreting to form the base of the extension.

Structural integrity was a priority, so we installed RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists) for support where we knocked through walls.

Our skills were key in the following stages:
Stonework and Blockwork
Our team of experts played a critical role in the stonework and blockwork stages of the extension.

They selected materials that matched the existing house not just in colour but also in texture and size, ensuring a flawless transition between the old and new structures.

Each stone and block was carefully cut and placed, maintaining consistent joint spacing and alignment.

This attention to detail made sure that the extension appeared as a natural part of the original home rather than an afterthought.
Joinery and Roofing
The joinery work was custom-designed to meet the specific look and use of the extension.

Our carpenters made bespoke wooden pieces such as window frames, doors, and internal trim, using wood that matched the existing home to keep the style.

The roofing phase was equally important; we installed a durable roofing system that not only matched the style of the existing roof but also provided better insulation and weather resistance.

The addition of skylights was carefully planned to boost natural lighting in the extension, creating a better ambiance in the space.
Rendering and Plastering
In the rendering and plastering stages, our team applied high-quality materials that contributed both to the durability and aesthetic appeal of the extension.

The exterior render was chosen to work alongside the existing walls, adding similar textures and colours.

Inside, plastering was done with precision, creating smooth surfaces ready for decoration.

The finish was not only visually pleasing but also built to protect the structure from the weather and wear over time.

High-grade, weather-resistant renders were used outside to shield the building from moisture and temperature changes, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance needs.

the results

The project was completed within the planned 10 weeks. The new extension provided the family with the additional space they needed and perfectly matched the look and feel of their existing home.

The project not only met their expectations but also significantly increased the value of their property.

The family now enjoys a spacious, stylish home that meets all their needs, thanks to the careful and skilled work of our Buildex team.
