At this four-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home in Hampton, Surrey, Thames Design & Build delivered a single-storey rear extension and loft conversion, transforming the property into a spacious family home with a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. We installed a structural steel goal-post frame to the full rear width, supported on new strip footings founded into Taplow Gravel, and finished the extension with a duo-pitched roof featuring four large VELUX skylights that flood the interior with natural light. Full-width anthracite grey aluminium bi-fold doors open the entire rear elevation onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

Inside, the kitchen features classic shaker cabinetry in warm off-white with brushed steel hardware, white quartz worktops, and a central peninsula with integrated sink and dishwasher. Warm oak-effect engineered flooring runs throughout the ground floor, while pendant lighting over the peninsula and a vaulted ceiling above the living zone give the space a bright, airy character. The gable-end glazed frame — a fully welded cranked steel structure — brings the pitched roof line to the rear elevation in dramatic fashion, making the extension a striking architectural feature from the garden.

To the upper floors, the loft was converted with a hip-to-gable extension and rear dormer, adding a generous new bedroom with built-in storage and access to a new loft floor with steel ridge beam and structural floor joists throughout. The project included all structural steelwork, new foundations, roofing, joinery, plastering, decorating, first and second fix trades, and garden landscaping — delivered from start to finish by our in-house team.
