Renovations and extensions in Brackenfell

Brackenfell grew fast, and a lot of the housing stock has been added to over the years: a room at the back, a covered patio, a garage that became a flatlet. Each addition is a new roof meeting an old one, a new slab meeting an old wall, and a new waterproofing detail that someone had to get right. When it goes wrong, the symptoms appear somewhere else. A damp patch in the middle of a bedroom ceiling that traces back to a patio roof two rooms away. A cold spot and a smell in a converted garage whose floor was never sealed. A wall that cracks because the new lintel and the old wall are moving differently. We treat an extension as a structural problem before a cosmetic one: how the new work ties in, how water leaves the junction, and how the old wall dries. Then we finish it so you cannot see where the old house ends.
