Extensions

We never underestimate how much faith a customer is placing in Pennine when they appoint us. What you will receive in return is a team of specialists that are completely dedicated to their jobs. Nothing will be left to chance, with Pennine taking control over the design, planning, building, installation and finishing touches. We will also sort out any planning obligations and issues revolving around building regulations.

You won’t feel out of touch with how the project is proceeding at any stage. Your Installations Manager will keep you informed from start to finish. An inspection of the extension will be conducted by a Pennine Manager prior to it being handed over to you as we always like to check that our extensions comply with our building standards. We have a document about our building standards that you can read.

We won’t do a disappearing act in the event of you experiencing any problems with your extension. As stated in the Guarantee Certificate you get, our Aftercare Team will remain available to respond to issues.

Position – Where is the best position for the extension? Would you like the extension to be somewhat secluded? Is the view you get from the extension important? Once you have a satisfactory answer to all of these questions, you can then pick a suitable roofing system and the right styles of windows and doors.

Function – What is your motive for investing in an extension? Is it because you want more space for the kids to play in, or do you love cooking and are tired of having little room to prepare your dishes. The function of the space will determine the best shape for the extension. A square or rectangular design will maximise the floor space you have, or you could have an “L” shape for a multi-purpose extension.

Aesthetics – Arguably, the important thing is the appearance of the extension. You want it to look impressive and it will certainly look like that whether you want UPVC or aluminium windows, a tiled roofing system or skylights. Browse our entire website to see the full range of options we have available.

Site Access – A lot of work is involved to bring an extension to life. There will be trucks and lorries arriving to drop off materials and building items, and we need accessibility to store essential tools.

Demands on your Boiler – If you have a particularly old boiler, there is a chance that it provide the extension with sufficient warmth. You could replace it or look to install underfloor heating for an advanced solution.

A high proportion of extensions require building regulations approval prior to being built. However, certain classes of extension are exempt from building regulations. Pennine will clarify the situation with your local authority first and do the relevant organising if building regulations approval is needed.

Planning permission is something else that Pennine can see to. Again, it may come to light that the extension already satisfies planning obligations, but either way, Pennine will be there to provide a helping hand.

It’s the roofing system attached to an extension that provides (or at least it should) the large majority of thermal efficiency it needs. You can choose from four separate roofing systems at Pennine and they all come in a wide selection of coloured finishes.

• Modern Tile
• Modern Slate
• Traditional Tile
• Traditional Slate

You can include glass panels or Velux windows in the roof covering if you want an extra amount of natural light to invade the space.

Modern Tile – A combination of fantastic modern materials and cutting-edge technology has enabled us to develop our beautiful modern tiles. They do of course look sublime when integrated into extensions meant for contemporary residences. Finish your modern tiles in a coloured effect of green, red, charcoal, ebony or umber.

Modern Slate – Once the weather gets hold of traditional slates, they very quickly break and lose their original appeal. You can try to replace them, but this often only cures the problem for a limited amount of time. As a ready-made alternative, try our lightweight modern slates. They have the appearance of traditional slates, but they don’t lose their strength or their colour. You won’t have to exchange them at any point in the future. These attractive modern slates are available in colours of stone, plum, pewter grey, brick red and black.

Traditional Tile – You don’t want to interfere with the character of your traditional property. What you need is a traditionally-styled tile to retain its look, and our traditional tiles are about the best you will find for the job. They will add real value to the design.

Traditional Slate – A traditional slate could be a more fitting option for certain traditional residences. We have contacts with lots of local brick merchants when sorting the brickwork for the extension, so you need have no worries on that score.

Any advice you need on ceilings can be provided by our extensive team of consultants. They know the importance of the ceiling and how it can influence the full personality of the inside of the structure. You can have heaters, fans or a sound system integrated into your favoured ceiling.

You also have to think about lighting the space. We have just about every lighting style you can think about, and they’ll all illuminate the interior spectacularly, while also looking extravagant. If you tell them what you want during their visit, our electricians can fit your lighting for free.

It’s a great luxury to have a door included in your new extension, particularly if it opens the extension out to your garden and helps you bring the outdoors indoors. Your choice of door should come down to your preferred form of lifestyle. We have three different door styles available for home extensions:

French Door – You see a lot of French doors fitted in continental residences and you can emulate our European compatriots by adding these highly attractive doors, with their double opening.

Bi-Folding Door – Seeing a set of bi-folding doors in action for the first time is an unforgettable experience for anyone. They glide so beautifully and can occupy a very vast amount of wall space.

Patio Door – Not all doors open inwards or outwards. A patio door is the perfect example of that as you can operate it by sliding it to one side. Because of that, you won’t lose any space from your extension when you leave it open.

What will really help you personalise the extension are your choices of frame, colour and hardware. You certainly won’t feel restricted for choice, quite the opposite in fact. Several of these finishing touches will have an effect on the thermal efficiency of the extension, and not just influence its appearance. Take your time settling on the final finishing touches to leave yourself happy.

Colours - Express Yourself

In earlier times, there were very few shades, textures and wood effect finishes you could incorporate into an extension, but now we have literally hundreds of them. If you want to see the full extent of our colour range, pop into your nearest Pennine showroom and one of our consultants can show you the entire colour palette.

You don’t have to be fearful of your extension being broken into as Pennine includes all the very latest secure mechanisms, including multi-point locking systems, impenetrable hinges, solid frames and laminated safety glass. All of our security-related products are tested in line with current secure standards, with several achieving the Police-approved Secured by Design accreditation. Pennine is one of the very few companies to have received such acknowledgement.

Hardware

To operate your windows and doors freely and smoothly, you need quality handles and hinges. A serious effort has been made to make our hardware solutions stylish as well as super functional. You won’t help but notice the attention to detail that has gone into creating each individual piece of hardware. We can offer you modern and traditional hardware options that collectively all provide stunning aesthetics and functionality.
