When considering an extension to an existing home then our "Extension Service" will be very helpful.
This service firstly comprises a Home Sustainability Assessment on the existing house. This report will identify what components should be altered and improved to increase the thermal performance quality of the old building.
After analysing the assessment we then proceed with the pre-planning for the extension and how it will integrate with the old section.
Most existing homes are very poor when it comes to thermal performance.
If a large and expensive extension is planned, then allocation of funds to retrofitting the old section is an absolute must, and will be well worth the investment.
An extension is essential to have planned correctly for a sustainable future, because if the new section is incorrect, or there is no change to the old section, then the whole investment will be a waste of money, but worse still it will be a missed opportunity to maximise the full potential of the new building.
