Extensions

Modernisation

Modernising existing homes is our passion at SCJ Build. By developing intelligent extension design ideas we add space and can often transform existing areas into modern, better functioning rooms.

Extension Ideas

We are specialists in rethinking interiors, so modern materials and systems are installed to enhance an extended space, be it a kitchen, dining area, garage, bedroom, office or tv room.
Whether you are looking to extend in the same style, or add a contemporary twist there are many ideas that we bring to a building project. During the design process we take time to understand your unique requirements and the structure of your house and we only propose appropriate ideas that are possible within planning regulations and proven design technology.
For example, a kitchen extension can use velux skylights overhead and large glass panelled sliding doors that fold to flood a room with light and provide unparallelled access to the garden.

Extension Plans

Creating the most suitable plan for your home is a process that puts our knowledge at your disposal. You can pick up ideas, discuss them with an architectural surveyor and accept or reject them as we develop your design together
Planning regulations often change and it has become easier to extend without planning permission, although plans are always required for the building regulations approval. This ensures the quality of the build and certification on inspection will add considerable value to your house.

Modern Innovative Solutions

We can advise you on the latest innovative solutions that would best enhance your design and help you can choose those that would be the most appropriate.

Latest innovations are designed for:

Natural Light and new methods for increasing light into the home to brighten interiors
Open Plan living by removing interior walls and merging rooms for family space
Space Saving design to making rooms feel spacious and comfortable
Modernisation by selecting modern systems and materials to improve functionality
Contemporary Design with elements carefully introduced a home

When extending you open up great opportunities for increasing the amount of natural daylight into a room. Within the roof we can install electrically operated skylight windows and blinds for complete controllability.
Within existing walls we can identify opportunities to add feature windows, and along the length of external walls we can install the modern folding sliding doors that let you open up a room and access a garden patio on warm days.

To dramatically change how your family uses your home, open it up a little. Extending is an ideal opportunity to merge the new and existing rooms by removing an existing wall to make your home more family friendly.
A popular extensions style is to create a fabulous kitchen with an adjoining area formed from an existing room. This large, family friendly space is available for dining and for the children to play in.

Innovative design ideas are often used to improve the use of space. For example, a kitchen island can combine a breakfast bar and cooking appliances yet fit into modern contained units. Many kitchen features can be recessed and their service elements are hidden away.

Modernisation

Modern solutions combine the latest materials, design and technology. A popular customer choice are vertical radiators which free wall space, hide pipes and give improved heat performance.
The range of modern storage solutions is almost endless and we can help you plan with a distinct interior style in mind.
Appliances can be upgraded too to take advantage of the best performing and most efficient models.

Finding the design and plan that works best for you can be a little overwhelming as there is such a range to select from. Our experience with many manufacturers helps us to guide you through the decision process on equipping a new room, such as the choice of flooring, appliances and materials, lighting, heating, ventilation and colour scheme.
