Home Extension Wembley

The goal for this Wembley project was to build a significant 5.7m x 3.2m home extension that offered both abundant light and versatile living options. The architectural drawings detailed a space that could be opened up or divided, thanks to the inclusion of an internal folding 3-door set. A critical part of the brief was to maximise daylight, which was achieved through the ambitious inclusion of two separate roof lanterns—one 3m x 2m and another 2m x 1m—alongside bifold doors leading to the garden. The scope of work also included significant site preparation, such as a 400mm reduced level dig and removal of existing paving slabs.

The extension was built on a structurally graded steel frame with insulated panels for the floor, walls, and roof, ensuring high thermal performance that meets building regulations. A key technical challenge was integrating the new flat roof with the existing house, which required specialist adaptations. The roof itself was finished with a durable EPDM membrane and incorporated the two large aluminium roof lanterns that define the space.

Inside, the new extension was finished with plastered and painted walls, an additional panel heater, and flooring. The internal partition with oak-finish folding doors provides the desired flexibility, allowing the area to be used as one large room or two smaller, distinct spaces. The project was scheduled for completion within 8 weeks. We also managed the full electrical installation, including a new consumer unit to service the extension.
