What makes our extensions different?
There are lots of things about our extensions that set us apart from the competition, but perhaps these are the most important.
1.
Planning permission and building control
Unlike other building companies, the building control documentation is in your name, not ours, this gives you full control and visibility over the application process. We will walk you through the whole process including any planning permission applications with our experienced and friendly architect making the whole process effortless.
2.
Base footings and brickwork
We go the extra mile with bases, footings and brickwork by working closely with building inspectors before any digging as ground conditions vary especially when close to trees. This ensures we build a solid base. Where possible we include thick insulation in the base and brickwork cavities to keep you nice and warm. Our highly skilled team can also help identify and match to your existing brickwork.
3.
Roofing
Many extensions you see today feature flat roofs covered with common materials such as felt or rubber, however the problem with felt is that it wears quickly and tends to leak within 5 to 10 years. Rubber often sags and tears under foot traffic or ladder use. At DJL Home we use a fibreglass resin roof system which comes with a manufacturer guarantee of 25 years giving you peace of mind.
4.
Glass and frames
We use climate controlled active blue glass with solar radiation reflection properties to keep you cool in the summer and has a low-emissivity coating on the inside to reflect heat and keeps you warmer in the winter. It also reduces infra-red and UV light helping protect furniture from fading. We only use the best uPVC & aluminium products on the market resulting in a superior lifespan.
