Front refurbishment, extension, and landscaping, Tooting Bec

Extension – 20 weeks
Front refurbishment – 8 weeks

Working in two phases, Intercraft transformed this terraced property, adding an impressive new extension and completely altering the exterior. There were a number of key technical challenges that the team overcame though careful planning. The desire for an open pitch ceiling throughout the extension meant that the weight needed to be supported safely using a custom-designed cranked beam, carefully positioned using specialist machinery. This was made particularly difficult by the lack of rear access to the property, a major challenge that required all earth and waste to be transported via the house. To accomplish this, we protected all surfaces and items on the ground floor of the property, setting up conveyor belts to move tons of waste and materials between the front and rear of the property.
