The skeleton of the extension had to have a portal steel frame. Once erected and the shell was complete we knocked through the existing kitchen,living room and completely removed the rear external wall (8M) and part of the side return external wall (5m), creating one kitchen living space of 10m x 8m! This also involved undertaking some pretty heavy engineering works as we had to fit 10m of steel Spliced into 3 weighing over 2 tonnes. These were just a couple of the big pieces, but combined with the front extension there were 20 pieces of steel needed to complete the project. Most of this is usually undercover and can’t be seen to be appreciated. However, on this occasion we asked if our customer wanted to leave it exposed; we were all really pleased with the result.
