DOMESTIC DWELLINGHOUSE SERVICES
With more than 15 years of industry experience, Hampton Design Contractors are specialists in architectural design.
We pride ourselves on ensuring every project is tailored specifically for the client’s needs.
With the demand for homeowners to upgrade and unlock the full potential of their property on the rise, our wide range of expert services help our clients to achieve this.
Our creative solutions focus on maximising the space clients have, whether it be small or large.
By utilising tried and tested methods of construction as well as offering high-quality materials and modern colours as standard, we create one-off builds which really stand out from the crowd.
Silicone render, coloured UPVC and aluminium windows, flat profile roof tiles and oak porches are just some of the popular finishing touches we use on our projects.
GARAGE CONVERSIONS
Sick of your garage being full of clutter? You’re not alone.
This is why so many of our clients are choosing to convert these spaces into something more for their home. We are experts in converting existing integral garage into additional living space which can transform the look and feel of the entire property.
Whether these conversion works are done to create a snug, utility room or a play room, these unloved spaces can be made extremely useful and usually at a modest cost.
INTERNAL LAYOUT AMENDMENTS
It’s important to think before you begin building work. This is where we can really help.
We often find that our clients may be considering an extension when really, they don’t actually need one to achieve their objectives.
The internal layout of many properties is constructed with non-load bearing stud walls which makes the internal layout entirely flexible and customisable to your needs.
Whether you’re looking to add more internal stud walls to create additional rooms or remove them to achieve an open-plan style of living, this is something we can assist with and the results can be game-changing.
SINGLE-STORY EXTENSIONS
Single-storey extensions are becoming a popular way of creating additional living space for a relatively low-cost build.
Often, these types of extensions are added to the side or rear of a property to allow a kitchen to be enlarged and developed into an open-plan space with an island perfect for dining.
These spaces can also be configured to add utility rooms, ground floor bedrooms with en suites, home offices or a children’s play room.
LOFT EXTENSIONS & DORMER LOFT CONVERSIONS
Converting loft or attic space can be a smart way of extending the living areas within your property.
Whether it is an existing trussed roof on a modern house or an open attic space in an older property, we usually add pitched or flat roof dormers and convert hipped roofs to gable walls to maximise these spaces.
Coupled with the installation of Velux roof windows, these spaces can then be used to create additional bedrooms with en suites and dressing rooms for growing families or a master suite where the adults can enjoy an entire floor to themselves.
ANCILLARY DWELLINGS & ANNEXES
Instead of moving elderly relatives into care or to give teenage children a taste of independence, creating additional dwellings can be the perfect solution.
This is an excellent choice for families who may have a generous garden plot to build on.
These types of buildings are classed as part of your existing home and not a separate house. There are many clever ideas we can apply to these relatively modest spaces to ensure a homely feel is achieved.
NEW BUILD DWELLINGS
Land is a commodity that is steadily diminishing within the UK.
We are able to access plots of land on your behalf and determine the best developed use for it.
Starting at the ‘Outline Planning All Matters Reserved’ stage is often required to lower your risk vs cost approach to determine whether a site is developable.
Upon receipt of this, we are able to Discharge Conditions, deliver all necessary documentation through to construction in addition to contract administration and contractor selection.
WORKSHOPS & GARAGES
We have designed a large number of workshops and private garages for weekend hobby mechanics and petrol heads.
Whether you need a pit, four-post lift, workbench or the dimensions to fit and rotate a specific make or model of vehicle, storage space above or an RSJ to hoist an engine on, this is something we can design for you from scratch.
BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL SERVICES
Our work in the commercial sector has seen us take on projects at a number of residential care homes and hotels.
When working on such buildings, we usually recommend a fully measured building survey. From this, we can produce all the relevant planning drawings and documentation you’ll need to enlarge these types of properties.
BUSINESS SERVICES
Change of use applications are often required for business owners taking over new premises.
This can often be for Class E (formerly A) or Suis Generis covering a range of different types of buildings including retail, food or drink, professional services, sport, health, offices, creche and nurseries.
We can also plan for HSE compliant workspaces with large staff numbers for uses such as offices and call centres.
WAREHOUSE & INDUSTRIAL STORAGE
Traditional warehouses used agriculturally or in industry often need to be enlarged.
Portal frame structures generally lend themselves very well to this and are usually very cost effective per square metre. This work will help your business to grow without the need to move premises.
Often sites with temporary structures are large enough to have permanent buildings and are redeveloped to meet the needs of new end users.
