Ground floor refurbishment and back extension

House extensions, Full refurbishments

A full refurbishment of the ground floor of this family home in Lee, including a back extension with a floating corner. An amazing piece of structural engineering: we created something quite unique for this area.

The corner of the extension has no post. The steelwork carries the structure above, so the tilt and slide glass doors meet at the corner and slide fully open, with minimal sight lines. With the doors back, the kitchen runs straight out onto a raised patio, bringing the outside in.

Inside, the new kitchen is painted dark green, with a London stock brick chimney breast, copper pendants and brass details beneath the roof lights. A herringbone oak floor runs right through to the glass, and at dusk the lit brick fascia and full width glass wall make the extension the centrepiece of the garden.

The London Building Company was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Freddie is a brilliant project manager and professional, whose team of specialist tradesmen are the best in the business. At every step we were kept informed of how the project was progressing, and any decisions requiring our input were explained with full transparency, clarity and honest advice. Freddie was always on site and his keen eye for detail ensured the finish was exactly what we envisioned. He understands quality and knows how to achieve it without cutting corners. We are so happy with the results!
