A single-storey extension can change how the ground floor of a home works without adding another upper level. It is often used where the priority is a larger kitchen, more connected living space or a better relationship between the house and garden.
A rear or side extension can create the extra width or depth needed for a larger kitchen and dining area. The structural opening between the existing house and new space needs to be designed correctly, particularly where a substantial section of wall is being removed.
Where load-bearing walls are altered, suitable calculations and steel support may be required. David Miller & Son Ltd can coordinate steel calculations, RSJs and wall removal as part of the wider extension work where necessary.
Kitchens, utility rooms and other ground-floor spaces may require new electrical circuits, plumbing, waste connections, heating alterations or gas work. These should be coordinated with the structural build rather than added as an afterthought.
The permissions required depend on the property and the extension proposed. Planning and Building Regulations should be checked independently, with drawings and technical details prepared where required.
If your main objective is to improve the ground-floor layout, discuss the existing property and the space you want to create with David Miller & Son Ltd.
