Rear Extension

This project involved the construction of a new rear extension and the reconfiguration of part of the existing house to create a modern open-plan living space. Our team carried out all works, from demolition of the existing structures through to the final interior finishes.
Throughout the build, we maintained quality control at every stage and worked in ongoing coordination with Building Control to ensure that all works complied with current UK Building Regulations.
The new extension created a spacious, open-plan kitchen with an island, a dining area, and a seating area, with large panoramic sliding doors that provide direct access to the garden and bring generous natural light into the space.

Our clients' reviews

We discovered Ivan and DS5 through our work on a new bathroom. This was step one of a major, full apartment refurbishment. We had never done anything like this before, so we were complete newcomers to the challenges of managing a complex project of this kind. Ivan and his team impressed us so much with the work on our en-suite that it was.

DS5 Construction did an excellent job on the complete refurbishment of one of our commercial rental units. Ivan offered excellent service, and the workmen were on time and paid close attention to detail. We could not be more thrilled with the results- they speak for themselves. Thank you so much to Ivan and the whole team!

Ivan’s team did a superb refurbishment of our house in south London - I recommend this company highly for their reliability and the quality of the work and service.

We engaged Ivan and team at DS5 Construction to replace our bathroom, fit a new boiler and replace the water pipe from the house to the street. Throughout the process Ivan, Max and team provided a superb service. They gave excellent guidance and reassurance as we finalised our plans, kept us informed and the project was completed exactly.
