Rear and Side Extension – Knaresborough, North Yorkshire
This Knaresborough home has been transformed with a rear and side extension, creating a spacious, modern, and highly functional living space. The homeowners wanted to expand their ground floor, improving flow, natural light, and indoor-outdoor connectivity while ensuring the structure remained strong, durable, and fully compliant with Building Control.
To bring this vision to life, PorthouseDean provided expert structural calculations, supporting the extension with RSJs, load-bearing wall assessments, and foundation reinforcements to ensure stability and long-term safety.
