Completed Reclaimed Slate Dormer Extension in Cheshire
Our team has recently completed a reclaimed slate dormer extension in Cheshire, transforming an underused loft into a bright new bedroom and ensuite. The property, a traditional period home, already had plenty of character. What it lacked was the space needed for a growing family. By extending across the rear roofline and finishing the dormer in reclaimed slate, we were able to deliver a modern, comfortable living space that sits naturally within the original structure.
Blending old and new with reclaimed slate
A key part of this build was ensuring the extension complemented the age and appearance of the home. Using reclaimed slate allowed us to mirror the colour variation and texture of the existing roof. The finished result feels cohesive, adding significant space without altering the charm of the property or its place in the wider street scene.
Creating a full new bedroom and ensuite
Inside, the transformation is complete. The new bedroom benefits from full height ceilings and generous natural light, while the ensuite has been designed to maximise both practicality and comfort. Every element, from the structural steelwork to the plumbing and electrics, was delivered to create a high quality finish ready for our clients to personalise.
A seamless addition to a Cheshire period home
From the outside, the completed dormer looks like it has always belonged. The clean roofline, new windows and reclaimed slate cladding bring the extension together as a natural continuation of the property. The project shows how effective dormer extensions are for unlocking space in Cheshireβs older homes, especially where maintaining character is a priority.
For homeowners who love where they live and want to stay put, a reclaimed slate dormer extension can be one of the most impactful ways to add long term value and day to day comfort.
