QSG Construction completed a bespoke rear extension for Mr. Stead in Queen’s Park.
This exciting project transformed a traditional property into a stylish and functional modern home. As experienced building contractors in Westminster and West London, we combined expert craftsmanship with innovative design to deliver a space tailored to the client’s vision.
The Project
Mr. Stead’s goal was to extend his property’s rear to create a bright and open-plan living area that blended seamlessly with the home’s existing architecture. The extension would house a state-of-the-art kitchen and dining space while maximising natural light with large bi-fold doors and a skylight.
Design and Features
The rear extension was meticulously planned to integrate with the property’s original structure, reflecting QSG Construction’s expertise as trusted builders in West London. Key features included:
-
Modern Kitchen Installation: The project featured a contemporary kitchen with a sleek, minimalist design, complete with high-end appliances and a central island for both cooking and entertaining.
-
Natural Light Optimisation: The installation of oversised bi-fold doors opened directly onto the garden, while a large roof lantern flooded the interior with light.
-
Energy Efficiency: We incorporated underfloor heating, energy-efficient glazing, and robust insulation to ensure year-round comfort.
-
Exquisite Finishes: The project included elegant flooring, bespoke cabinetry, and modern lighting fixtures, achieving a polished and cohesive look.
Construction Challenges
Every extension project presents its unique challenges, and this one was no different. As part of the work, the existing rear walls were removed to create a seamless transition between the old and new spaces. This required precision structural work, including the installation of steel beams to support the upper floors. Additionally, adjustments to the property’s drainage system were necessary to comply with building regulations and accommodate the new extension’s footprint.
FAQs: Planning and Building Rear Extensions
How Long Does an Extension Take to Build? The timeline for Mr. Stead’s rear extension was approximately 9 weeks, which is typical for projects of this scope. Factors like planning permissions, structural alterations, and weather conditions can influence the duration of a build.
Do I Need to Alter My Drainage? In many cases, rear extensions require adjustments to drainage systems, particularly if the extension covers or reroutes existing drains. Our team ensured all drainage work complied with Westminster’s building codes and seamlessly integrated with the overall design.
Do I Need Planning Permission? While many rear extensions fall under permitted development rights, factors like the property’s location, size of the extension, and conservation area restrictions in Westminster may necessitate planning permission. For Mr. Stead’s project, our team managed all planning and regulatory requirements, ensuring a hassle-free process.
