Award-Winning Rear Extension Builders in Swindon
Choosing the right builder for your rear extension is an important decision. At Craig Donnelly Building Contractors Ltd, we understand that extending your home is a significant investment.
We were proud to receive the 2022 LABC Building Excellence South West Regional Award, recognising the quality of our building work.
We work with homeowners across Swindon to create practical, attractive extensions that complement their existing properties.
Our approach focuses on quality construction, careful planning and keeping customers informed throughout their projects.
Rear House Extensions Designed Around Your Home
A rear extension is an excellent way to increase your living space without the disruption and expense of moving home.
We build rear extensions tailored to the property, the customer's requirements and the approved architectural drawings.
Open-Plan Kitchen and Dining Extensions
One of the most popular reasons for building a rear extension is to create a spacious, open-plan kitchen and dining area.
By extending into the rear garden and, where appropriate, removing existing external walls with suitable structural support, we can help create a larger and more practical living space.
Single-Storey Rear Extensions
Single-storey rear extensions are a popular choice for homeowners looking to increase ground-floor living space.
These extensions can incorporate modern rooflights, vaulted ceilings, large windows and patio doors, depending on the architectural design.
Double-Storey Rear Extensions
Where planning requirements and property design allow, a double-storey rear extension can provide additional space across two floors.
This could include an enlarged kitchen or living area downstairs with extra bedroom or bathroom accommodation upstairs.
Our Complete Rear Extension Building Service
We provide a comprehensive building service, managing the construction of your rear extension from the initial groundworks through to the final building stages.
Our work can include:
Groundworks and Foundations
Site preparation, excavation, concrete foundations and groundwork construction in accordance with the approved plans and relevant building regulations.
Brickwork and Structural Construction
Construction of cavity walls, blockwork, brickwork and structural elements to match the approved design.
Where required, we can arrange structural engineering input for foundations and steelwork, with associated professional fees charged separately.
Roofing and Roof Structures
Construction of traditional pitched roofs, flat roofs and vaulted ceiling structures, depending on the project specifications.
Structural Wall Removals and Steel Beams
Many rear extensions involve opening up the existing rear wall to connect the new space with the original house.
Where necessary, we can arrange the installation of structural steel beams (RSJs) in accordance with structural engineering calculations.
Plastering and Internal Finishing
We carry out plastering and associated internal building work to prepare your new extension for its final finishes.
Painting and decorating, flooring and tiling are not included as standard, although we can recommend trusted tradespeople for these services.
Rear Extensions Built to Your Architectural Plans
Many of our customers already have architectural drawings and planning documents prepared before contacting us.
We can review your drawings, discuss the proposed building works and provide a detailed quotation based on the agreed specifications.
We can also help arrange the necessary building-control processes and relevant professional input. Council charges, application fees and third-party professional fees are payable separately by the customer.
If you haven't yet had plans prepared, we can also discuss our design-and-build service.
