Property Refurbishments and House Extensions in Barking | Adding Living Space in London

Adding space to London homes can be challenging, but skilled building contractors can find a way to maximise any house. Get in touch with Detailed Building Ltd if you want to increase living space with loft conversions, basement conversions, property refurbishments or house extensions in Barking or the surrounding areas. We specialise in domestic city construction. Below, we look at clever ways to make the most of city homes.

Property Extensions

If none of the above options are suitable, you should consider an extension. House extensions are possible within London, as long as you have sufficient outside space to build on and comply with all local regulations. The main drawback of an extension is that it reduces the size of your garden, unless you have a passage to the side of the house that we can extend into.
Our building contractors can also extend properties downwards by constructing new basements. If feasible, this is an ideal way to add a significant amount of space without eating into the garden.

Conversions

Property conversions are incredibly popular with London homeowners because they utilise existing space. As such, they are ideal if you don’t have room to extend outwards or want to avoid a battle with the local authority. Our domestic builders offer:
  • Loft Conversions

    o Mansard Conversions

    o Hip-to-Gable Conversions

    o Domer Conversions

    o Rooflight Conversions

  • Garage Conversions

  • Basement Conversions

Conversions are typically the most time- and cost-efficient way to increase living space inside London homes. If you have an existing, underutilised space, you should consider a conversion to make the most of your property and increase its value.

Property Refurbishments

Many properties in Barking and the surrounding areas are old, which often means outdated layouts that seem peculiar to the modern eye. If your home hasn’t been updated much over the years, professional property refurbishments could make it feel like a brand-new building. Our building contractors achieve this by thoughtfully redesigning the interior layout and maximising every inch of space. This makes it feel like you’ve gained square footage when, in reality, we’ve simply maximised what was already there.

Our team can reconfigure individual rooms to entire properties, including kitchen and bathroom installations.
