01House extensions

More room on the ground floor. Same home.

An extension can give a family the living space it has been missing — a bigger kitchen, an open-plan living area, or simply room to breathe. We undertake residential extensions involving structural alterations, blockwork, steelwork, roofing and carpentry.

01

Rear extensions

Extra ground-floor space where most families need it most.

02

Structural extensions

Extensions that change how the existing house is supported and connected.

03

Open-plan living

Opening the existing house into the new space so it works as one room.

04

Family living space

Room for a growing household, without moving away from the area you know.

02Structural alterations & renovations

Change how yourhome works.

Taking out a wall, opening the back of the house or reconfiguring the ground floor is structural work. It needs the right design, the right steel, and people who understand what the building is doing before anything comes out.

We carry out major structural alterations, internal openings, steel beam installation and residential renovation work — with the same care on the parts you won’t see as on the parts you will.

  • Major structural alterations
  • Internal openings
  • Steel beam installation
  • Residential renovations

03Carpentry & bespoke timber

A carpentry background runs through everything.

Carpentry is the thread through every Pier Developments project — from the structural timber in a new roof, through first fix, to bespoke timber structures built for the garden.

  • First-fix carpentry
  • Timber-framed construction
  • Bespoke external timber work
  • Garden structures & timber features

  3. 3

    Build it properly

    Groundworks, blockwork, steel, roof and carpentry — in the right order.

  4. 4

    Finish well

    The details that make the new space feel like part of the house.
