Structural design for extensions and alterations

Single and two-storey rear, side and wrap-around extensions, open-plan alterations and refurbishments, with foundations, steelwork and details your builder can build.

Extensions & alterations

What we provide

  • Rear, side-return and wrap-around extensions
  • Two-storey extensions and first-floor additions
  • Foundation design, including near trees
  • Steel beams and goalposts for wide openings and bi-folds
  • Beam and block or solid ground floors
  • Internal alterations and refurbishment design

When you need it

Extensions need foundations sized for your ground conditions, beams over new openings and connections back into the existing house. A well-coordinated structural design keeps the build moving and avoids costly changes on site.

Frequently asked questions

Do you design foundations near trees?

Yes. We design foundations to NHBC guidance for building near trees, as on several of our Hertfordshire and Luton projects.

Can you give me a large open corner with bi-folding doors?

Often, yes. On our St Albans project we used steel cantilever beams to leave the corner fully open.

What do you need from me?

Your architect drawings or floor plans and a few photos are enough to give you a quote.

Areas we cover: Epsom, Leatherhead, Guildford, Woking, Reigate, Esher, Kingston upon Thames, Richmond, Wimbledon, Sutton, Croydon, Hitchin, St Albans, and across Surrey, South-West London and Hertfordshire.
