At R & B Carpentry Ltd, our structural building and extension services provide comprehensive, end-to-end construction solutions designed to expand residential living space and maximize property value across London and the Home Counties. Specialising in high-quality side extensions, rear extensions, wrap-around additions, and structural alterations, we manage projects from ground-level foundations through to final internal completion. Combining master timber framing expertise with robust general building capabilities, our teams ensure every extension blends seamlessly with the existing architecture while optimizing structural efficiency and energy performance.
We handle complex structural modifications, including steel beam installations (RSJs), load-bearing wall removals, insulated cavity wall construction, and high-performance roof sub-structures. Operating in strict alignment with current UK Building Regulations and local planning approvals, R & B Carpentry Ltd coordinates all trade disciplines with rigorous project management. Whether creating expansive open-plan kitchen diners, adding ground-floor living zones, or executing multi-storey home extensions, we deliver exceptional craftsmanship, on-time schedules, and durable structural integrity.
Yes. We work closely with structural engineers, architects, and local authority Building Control inspectors to ensure all extension builds meet current UK Building Regulations, thermal efficiency requirements, and structural safety codes.
Absolutely. As specialist carpentry and main building contractors, we manage the entire build lifecycle—from groundworks, brickwork, and structural steel installation to internal acoustic floors, plasterboard partitions, fire doors, and final timber joinery.
Project timelines vary depending on structural complexity and size. However, a standard single-storey side or rear extension generally takes between 8 to 14 weeks from ground excavation to complete second-fix internal hand-over.
