Alterations and Adaptions

Thinking of changing the layout of your home? Think Building can help adapt your home layout whether it’s simply moving rooms around  or structurally removing walls to experience open plan living.

Altering a property to suit you may be for many reasons; to update décor, glazing, wiring etc. to more modern products or regulations. Or you may wish to remove walls to simply utilise or create more open space.

Adapting a property can help a home be right for you. Disability alterations improve people’s lifestyle. Simple alterations such as widening doors, creating wet rooms with the help of our associates at THINK Plumbing & Heating plus access ramps are small ways a property can adapt to suit your requirements.

Thinking of removing walls?

The way a property has been constructed can make alterations as easy as removing studwork partitions but some properties have been constructed in a way that may mean it is a little more challenging to remove walls. Think Building can help determine and advise the best way of effectively removing walls. Removing a wall may sound daunting to some, but there’s no need to be worry when you get Think Building to do the work.

All structural alterations are surveyed by a highly qualified structural engineer before we start. Time is taken to calculate loadings to determine the correct size and type of supports to be installed.

When creating structural alterations to a property the work is required to be signed off by your local authority. Building Regulations/Control Officers will require copies of the structural calculation and observe the alterations at their required stages. This means a completion certificate for alterations is filed for the property giving the customer peace of mind and documents for resale if required.

When altering a property major factors to consider are accessibility, ventilation and natural light. Think building can help with this at the design stage right through to installation and completion.

Creating new window and door openings, widening existing openings, changing windows into doorways plus much more, leaving your property light, airy and accessible just how you want it.

Windows and doors can transform a property not only aesthetically but energy efficiently too. We only supply and fit the best A-rated products available.

Think Building has built great relationships with local companies who manufacture and supply windows and doors. There are many different options to consider; UPVC? Aluminium? Colour? Style? Bi-folding doors? Patio doors? Composite doors? Too many to list so why not give us a call to arrange a no obligation quotation from one of our reputable suppliers. We can incorporate many different glazing options into our new build projects as well as existing properties.
