Modular extensions

5 years ago

Hi

I am planning on having a double extension and extending my kitchen a little further.

Initially I was planning on getting a building company/ builders in.

The last couple of months I have been thinking of maybe getting a modular extension.

Has anyone ever had one one or know of someone who has and if so could you please let me know your experience or theirs

Hi Helen, The garden looks fairly large - you could extend outwards? A ground floor rear extension, get rid of the sun room, install velux windows or skylights, some bi-folding doors and you would have a really bright, spacious lounge. If money/building regulations permit, you could extend upwards also? If this would not be possible, extend the first floor outwards at the rear to create two more bedrooms (where the attic room is). As Gabby mentioned, you can now get modular extensions and loft conversions which cause minimal disruption - entire rooms are designed and built off-site then installed over a number of days. A very time efficient solution but not as cost effective - they are pricey! The leading company for these is Moduloft, I believe. I have no direct experience with this type of conversion myself, but know this method is rising in popularity. In terms of the ground floor, the kitchen looks to occupy a very small space currently. I don't know your feelings on open plan but you could knock down the walls between the lounge and the kitchen, and bedroom 1 and the lounge to create a large, open plan living space. You could arrange it so that your new kitchen-dining space are where the current kitchen and dining room are, and the living room is in the space where bedroom 1 is. This would allow for the living room to feel like a separated little nook while still being part of a larger, open plan room. In terms of the exterior - there are countless possibilities. Replacing windows with some in a more contemporary style (e.g. grey upvc), replacing the door and repainting the exterior are the simplest but most appearance-altering. I have attached a picture to illustrate what I envisage a rear extension with the velux/bifolding doors combo I suggested looking like - good luck with everything!

I've had a dormer window (4 metres long) placed for a loft conversion. Was built off site and lifted over the house with a crane. The guys arrived in the morning, made a big hole in the roof, dormer window arrived in the afternoon, crane placed it in the hole, guys made it all watertight on the outside. Done in a day. Very happy with the result. My handy husband finished the inside. But we're in the Netherlands, so I can't recommend a company.

Am wondering if it is worth your time adding an extension. Is the garage fully detached or does it have a shared wall with next doors? if the later you will need their permission and a party wall agreement. That will all add time and cost. The drain suggests that there are utilities under the drive: you cannot build on those without permission, though you can move them at your own cost. Also, how will you access the back garden if you extend over the drive? how wide is the drive? With insulation is it going to be worth adding a room as they will be tiny rooms. I would consider a rear extension to gain real space and knocking down the garage to keep garden space.

Hi there, depending on where you are in the country, I believe Landmark Lofts is now offering modular ground floor extension. I researched their modular lofts extensively but not the ground floor.
