Timber-framed, joinery-led home extensions in Southampton — crafted by a small team with 10 years' experience. We expand living space, integrate domestic renovations to a high carpentry standard.
Extensions
Solent Bespoke Projects delivers timber-framed and joinery-led extensions around Southampton and Hampshire. Our small, skilled team handles on-site carpentry, structural detailing and finishing so new work sits perfectly with existing homes—from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and riverside flats. Boat-building precision and a decade on site mean accurate joints, neat mouldings and durable connections. We liaise with structural engineers and guide you through building regs to keep your project on track.
Why Choose Extensions?
Decade-long timber experience and boat-building skills deliver tight tolerances, accurate scarf joints and mouldings that sit true with existing fabric.
Timber-framed, joinery-led extensions are our focus: lightweight, thermally efficient frames that allow rapid erection and precise on-site joinery. We detail connections where new meets old—sills, thresholds, cill returns and skirting junctions—so movement joints and fixings are correct for Southampton’s coastal environment. Typical projects include single-storey rear extensions for open-plan kitchens, side returns to widen living rooms and first-floor roof extensions for additional bedrooms.
We coordinate technical inputs — working from structural engineer drawings, installing engineered lintels, steel posts or trimmers where required, and ensuring insulation, vapour control and ventilation details are correct. On completion we fit bespoke cabinetry, bespoke door linings and architraves to match the existing property, providing a seamless look and long-term durability across Hampshire properties from Portswood to Ocean Village.
How It Works
1. Site survey & specification
We carry out a measured survey, assess existing structure and sketch a timber-framed, joinery-led solution. You get a clear scope, materials list and a fixed-cost quote.
2. Structural work & carpentry
We erect the timber frame, set out structural junctions and install primary joinery—floor cassettes, packers, engineered lintels and bespoke carcassing—working to engineering details.
3. Bespoke finishing & handover
On-site finishing includes fitted cabinetry, skirtings, architraves and final sealing to match the host building. We complete snagging, sign off with you and provide aftercare notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and process.
For a single-storey timber-framed rear extension (3–4m projection) expect 6–10 weeks on site from foundation completion to finish. Timber frames and primary carpentry are quick; the overall programme depends on groundwork, mechanical and electrical work and finishes.
