Extension & Loft Conversion – Sevenoaks, Kent
This Sevenoaks home has been expertly transformed with a rear extension and loft conversion, creating additional living space, enhanced functionality, and increased property value. The homeowners wanted to expand their ground floor for a larger kitchen and living area, while also maximising their loft space to add an extra bedroom and en-suite.
To ensure structural integrity, stability, and full compliance with Building Control, PorthouseDean provided expert structural calculations, supporting the structural framework, steel beam reinforcements, and load-bearing wall modifications for a safe and efficient build.
