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.

Single Storey Extension, Roof Conversion, and Refurbishment - East Wellow, Hampshire

This lovely project in its extraordinarily long woodland garden was a pleasure to work on. The large kitchen was made into an extended kitchen/family room with its own bespoke kitchen. Changes were made to the walls where the w.c. and utility were situated leaving a more accommodating layout. Above we extended the roof section to allow a fair sized ensuite to the master bedroom. Note the fantastic aluminium bi-fold doors and windows.

Garage Rebuild and General Work, Fareham

Here we are demolishing the existing garage to build one that is larger. The main bedroom stud wall is removed and rebuilt with block and stud. Two ship lap gables and a rendered finish with some brave design work in the render. We also did the block pave drive.

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!

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.

Large Rear Single Storey Extension - Fareham, Hampshire

A large wrap around extension on a bungalow to provide superior living accommodation for mother and daughter and the the two tenants Gucci and Hetti (the dogs) although based on their size I wonder who the tenants actually are! We have incorporated sloping ceilings where requested, fitted a new kitchen and laid a raised patio at the rear.

Structural and Dormers to Converted Bungalow, Fareham, Hampshire

This project entails some varied internal structural work to open up the dining area to the kitchen. A new concealed doorway to the living room and fabulous aluminium folding doors to the rear. Including the construction of two dormers to the roof in place of the original Velux windows. A complete overhaul really. The kitchen was courtesy of Controlled Interiors of Fareham.

Listed Build - Double Garage Base & Block Paved Area in Gosport, Hampshire

This job required the area to be completely levelled and free of all foliage. We then build a base to take an oak framed garage with soak away. While were at it we will complete a block paved turning area removing a dilapidated existing garage area and rebuild the front to match the existing listed wall including a couple of gates to measure. The beauty of this job is the conservation stamp we have to follow, matching mortars and bespoke heavy duty gates with old style ironmongery.

Rear Extension and Structural in Gosport, Hampshire

This is a small extension to the rear of the property which will give the client a new kitchen allowing the rather cabin style existing kitchen to be turned into a downstairs toilet and utility room. This will most certainly put good value on their house and transform the ground floor. We were also asked to strip a section of the garden, lay to lawn and lay a new patio.

Listed Roof Strip in Titchfield, Hampshire

Here we are stripping the original clay peg tiles from this listed building, providing a breather membrane and relaying the tiles with all new lead work. Using a lime based mortar. Although we do not need to invlove Conservation as we are replacing like for like but we requested their services (free of charge) so as to ensure what we do is complementary to the property as we did encounter certain issues.

Believe it or not some local roofers wouldn't touch this roof as it was listed with many complications. Quite frankly I'm pleased as two of our lads are from roofing backgrounds and the rest of us were able to offer other valuable abilities. This gave the ability to look at this project from its heart as apposed to just its worth. Yeah it was hard work, monotonous and damn freezing on some days but it cant be a challange without any of those factors! We're dead proud of the result and the local coffee shop did well out of us too! Apologies to the residents who couldn't park their cars for longer than anticipated!

Rear Single Storey Extension and Structural Modifications, Fareham, Hampshire

This single storey extension has made a massive difference to the living space at the rear of the property. A Large kitchen. Separate utility area and an extended dining room all overlooking the large garden. The aluminium finished and powder coated sky light adds a unique touch to the development. The underfloor heating makes that nice little posh touch too!"

Bungalow loft conversion with Dormer, Velux and Separate Bathroom - Locksheath

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.
  

Lower Upham - A double detached garage.

Insulated, boarded and plastered, oh and with some pretty lights too.

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!'

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.

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!

Soberton Porch

A new build porch incorporating the character from the remainder of the house in Soberton.

Two Storey Extension
