House Extensions in Kesgrave

Orwell Carpentry, a carpentry and building company based in Ipswich, covers extensions in Kesgrave and elsewhere in Suffolk, Essex and the surrounding areas. Orwell Carpentry builds extensions for more kitchen, office or living space. A straightforward extension might take several weeks to a few months.

What approvals does an extension need?

Orwell Carpentry takes on extension building, for a bigger kitchen, somewhere to work, or more space to live in. The time needed turns on size, complexity and regulations, and a straightforward extension might take several weeks to a few months.

Which approvals apply depends on the location and the scale. Orwell Carpentry helps with the paperwork along garden room in Melton the way. A free, no obligation consultation is the first step.

What is the best way to install flooring?

It depends on the material, but the rules are much the same: a flat, dry subfloor, boards left to acclimatise in the room, and an expansion gap at the edges hidden by the skirting. In a kitchen, decide the floor before the units go in, because the finished floor level sets the unit heights.

Is a fitted home office better than freestanding furniture?

Fitted home offices are part of what Orwell Carpentry builds shaped around the room and how you work. The desk and the storage are planned as one piece. The same thinking turns understairs space into useful cupboards.

Freestanding furniture leaves gaps at the sides and above, and those gaps collect clutter. Fitted units can use the full width and height of the wall. Power points and cable runs are best decided before anything is built.

Can you get power to a garden room?

Most garden rooms do not, as long as they meet certain rules. Single storey, under 3 metres high or 4 with a dual pitched roof, and 2.5 metres at most within 2 metres of the boundary. Self contained living space and anything in front of the house fall outside the rules.

Power is almost always wanted. Where there is already a supply to a shed, Orwell Carpentry can make sure it is suitable, or assist in getting a sufficient new supply installed.
