Extension in Bournemouth - Single Storey

We took on this single storey bournemouth extension with plans already having been drawn up for the client.  A single storey extension with pitched roof had been granted planning permission.  The existing single storey extension would need to be built around to give the client ongoing access to the kitchen for as long as possible into the build.

The first stage was to excavate to the required depth for foundations.  Existing hardstanding area was marked out and broken up, then dug down to required depth to pour the concrete footing.  Building Control were contacted and informed that work was taking place.

Concrete was poured then blockwork and were laid up to damp course level around the existing extension.  We liaised with the building inspector throughout the process at the required stages to ensure a clean sign off at the end of the job.

The timber ridge, timber rafters and structural steel rafters were fixed in place.  Breathable roofing felt and treated timber batten was laid over the rafters.   The existing extension was removed, and a new concrete slab and screed floor was laid with insulation under.

Once work was completed to the roof, the window and patio doors were fitted (to comply with current FENSA regulations).  A scratch coat of render was applied to the concrete blockwork.  Once the render scratch coat was set, a finish top coat of render was applied with waterproof sealer.
