Previous Building Projects

Below are a few photographs and descriptions of previous building projects that we have completed.

If you need a builder in Gosport or anywhere in Hampshire please give us a call as we are more than able to handle construction work from the most simple of eg. bathrooms installations, right through to more complex work such as extensions, loft conversions and major house re-building.

Latest project was this porch extension with a separate W.C. in Alverstoke

Various recent projects include a new kitchen in Wallington, a newly created bathroom on the 2nd floor in Southsea and another kitchen in Lee on Solent.

Bungalow Extension and General Work

This project requires us to extend up above the kitchen (seen on the photos as the flat roof) to create an upstairs bathroom and open gallery living space. The weather was definately our enemy on this one.

The 'General Work' entailed:

• New drainage.
  
  
• Full roof strip so we could insulate between and over the rafters as we found the roof was entirely uninsulated despite being converted. Massive energy loss!
  
  
• Strip down the two existing dormers and modernise.
  
  
• Double glazing throughout.
  
  
• Remodernisation of the ground floor including new en-suite built in the master bedroom.
  
  
• New pressurised heating system.

New Chimney Built - Fareham

We were asked to build a chimney on the side of this bungalow. No easy task considering above the brick course it was a timber frame. There were some interesting building regs. the original marble fireplace with rear flue was taken out and placed into the external wall at the rear of the property. The new chimney breast allowed the client to have a log burner. Job done!'

Emsworth Re-development

PLANS BEFORE START OF BUILDING WORK PROPOSED FINAL PLAN - PLUS MINOR AMENDMENTS

This is one of our larger building projects completed. We converted the garage into two basic sound proofed music studios. We then literally removed the rear of the property to add in a new open plan ground floor kitchen/diner and w.c. Above was built a new larger bathroom and a third bedroom with french doors to the flat roof area. which also housed a fabulous lantern for extra light to the dining area. On the front of the property and side we built two bays to increase the living room space. The smaller of the two bays continued to create a large curved porch area. All parapit flat rooves had lanterns to provide as much light as possible. The photos speak for themselves I believe!

A few inbetween shots too..

As you can see this was quite a large project and an utter pleasure to complete. The clients knew pretty much exactly what they wanted to achieve. Using new techniques and new ideas not practised before I believe we have achieved something very special. As is often the case but possibly more so on this project it was a challenge to cost parts that were to a degree experimental.However despite the fact that the owners are coming to terms with moving back into quite literally a new house ("it feels weird, like its not ours yet" they are (as I am led to believe) over the moon! Not only that but as their friends and family see it for the first time its a real slap in the face transformation, with a huge wow factor. Testiment to the owners bold and strong willed commitment to achieving their own goal. A personal goal achieved by all the guys who worked on it too.

Southsea

Here we removed the old kitchen and party wall to the mini conservatory. Rebuilt the party wall to provide a cavity and added a pitch tiled roof with a velux. Oh and then next door wanted theirs done at the same time! We then demolished the dividing wall between the kitchen and conservatory supporting with a bolted steel frame. This then created the large open plan kitchen diner they wanted. The kitchen was lovely with curved units and a corrianne work top. All very posh with some exciting decor too.

Whiteley

A nice simple kitchen in Whiteley.. or so we hoped!!! Lets just say it's lucky our experience got over it no thanks to a large orange multi national diy company!' We did the floor too. Now pricing for the conservatory and en suite.

Bungalow Renovation

This was a full bungalow renovation in Durley with the very large kitchen. Main bathroom, shower room, w.c. and utility. Not to mention plenty of plastering, decoration and a fully fitted bedroom outfit.

Gosport Conservatory

A simple conservatory in Gosport using the previous conservatory walls. From there on it's all new. Full re-wire, new lighting, plastering etc. to make this a cosy extra room for the father!
