Expand Your Home Without Compromising Its History
Sympathetic Extensions for Period & Heritage Properties
At Quoin and Oak Construction, we believe that adding space to your home shouldn’t mean sacrificing its soul. For owners of listed cottages, Georgian townhouses, or traditional barn conversions, the prospect of an extension can be daunting. You need extra room, but you want to avoid a modern “box” that clashes with the original architecture.
We specialize in designing and building extensions that blend seamlessly with your existing property. Whether you are looking for a subtle stone-built annex, a contemporary glass link that highlights the original masonry, or a traditional oak-framed garden room, we ensure the new structure compliments the old.
Our Extension Services
We provide a comprehensive building service, taking your vision from the initial concept through to the final coat of paint. Our expertise covers:
- Heritage & Listed Building Extensions: We are experts in sourcing matching materials—from reclaimed brick and local stone to lime mortar—to ensure the extension looks like it has always been there.
- Kitchen & Dining Extensions: Creating open-plan living spaces that suit modern family life while retaining period features.
- Oak Framed Extensions: Using traditional joinery techniques to create stunning, light-filled garden rooms and orangeries.
- Barn Conversion Additions: expanding living space in converted barns with respectful architectural design.
- Contemporary Contrasts: For some heritage projects, a distinctively modern, high-spec glass or zinc extension is the best way to respect the original building. We have the skills to execute this precision work.
Navigating Planning & Regulations
Extending a property in a conservation area or on Dartmoor comes with unique challenges. As experienced local builders, we are well-versed in the intricacies of liaising with local authorities and Conservation Officers.
As your Principal Contractor, we manage the logistical headaches for you. We collaborate closely with architects, structural engineers, and building control to ensure your extension is fully compliant with current building regulations while respecting heritage restrictions.
