Mr and Mrs Baker, Leeds

When Mr. and Mrs. Baker from Leeds contacted our team, they were looking to add more space and improve the functionality of their home. Their goal was to extend the ground floor to create a more open and practical living area without compromising the character of their existing property.

However, the project came with a few unique challenges. The rear garden had uneven ground levels, a bay window at the back of the house needed to be retained, and there was drainage access right where the extension was planned. These are common issues in older properties and can often discourage homeowners from pursuing an extension. But we don’t see obstacles, we see potential.

Site Visit & Consultation

Our process always begins with a detailed site visit. We took the time to understand the layout, assess the structure, and discuss the Bakers’ vision for their home. We listened carefully to their goals and used our experience in home extensions in Leeds to develop practical, creative solutions tailored to their needs.

Rather than forcing a standard layout, we designed an extension that worked with the existing structure and site conditions.

What We Delivered

  • Bespoke design that overcame structural and layout challenges, including sloping garden levels and existing features like the bay window
  • Full planning permission management, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process for the clients

  • Dedicated project management from start to finish, with a single point of contact for clear communication and efficient coordination

Planning Approval & Construction

Once planning permission was approved, we agreed on a clear project timeline. Our in-house construction team began work promptly, with minimal disruption to the homeowners. Throughout the build, our dedicated project coordinator ensured everything stayed on schedule and to budget.

The end result? A stylish, functional ground floor extension that not only added space but enhanced the overall flow and value of the property.

We wanted to add more room to the downstairs of our house, but extending at the back felt a bit tricky for the size of room we wanted. This was due to the ground being on different levels and the existing back wall having a bay window and drains etc. We asked SolarFrame to come and have a look and they were able to find solutions to all of the complications. They drew us up a great design and once we’d agreed what we wanted they managed the planning process. Once planning was approved we agreed a start date and Connor managed the process from there. We had a few additional challenges that cropped up in the build but all were dealt with and it was 7 weeks from start to finish (against an original 6 week plan.) The quality of the work is very good and we are very pleased with the result.
