Single Storey Rear Extension with Loft Works – Rothesay Avenue, Richmond

Single Storey Rear Extension with Loft Works – Rothesay Avenue, Richmond

This project extended and upgraded a house on Rothesay Avenue in Richmond. A single-storey rear extension opened up the ground floor, while loft floor works prepared additional accommodation above, with internal finishes brought through to match.

The Challenge

The existing rear of the house felt constrained for modern family living, and the loft needed structural preparation to create usable space. The brief called for a rear extension and loft works that would increase light and floor area without losing the character of the Richmond street.

The Solution

We carried out a carefully planned rear extension with loft structural works. The works included:

  • Site set-up and temporary protection during the build

  • Demolition of rear walls and strip-out ready for the extension

  • New foundations, slab and cavity brick-and-block walls for the rear extension

  • Structural openings with steel as required to open the ground floor into the extension

  • Roof structure to the extension, including roof windows where specified

  • Attic suspended floor joists, hangers and restraint straps for loft accommodation

  • New windows and external doors to the extended areas

  • First- and second-fix plumbing and electrical works

  • Plastering, decoration and floor finishes through the remodelled rooms

  • Associated drainage and external making-good

The entire project was managed with close attention to detail to deliver more space and light while protecting the fabric of the property.

The Results

The finished house now has a brighter rear extension at ground floor and prepared loft accommodation above — a more open, practical home on Rothesay Avenue in Richmond.
