Chichester is an established cathedral city with a distinctive architectural heritage and a wide range of residential properties. From traditional homes within the city to properties in the surrounding villages, building projects need to be approached according to the requirements of the individual property.

Rogate Construction works with homeowners throughout Chichester, Fishbourne, Bosham, Lavant, Donnington, Tangmere and West Broyle, as well as other surrounding locations.

Whether you own a traditional property requiring sensitive alterations or a modern family home in need of additional space, we can discuss your plans and help you understand the practical requirements of the proposed work.

We recognise that successful building projects involve more than good workmanship alone. Careful coordination of trades, materials, timings and inspections is equally important, particularly when several elements of the work need to come together.

Our aim is to provide a reliable, well-managed service that makes the experience of improving your home as straightforward as possible.

Home Extensions in Chichester

A home extension can transform the way you use your property, providing additional space while allowing you to remain in the home and location you enjoy.

You might be looking to create a larger kitchen and dining area, extend your living space into the garden or provide additional accommodation for a growing family.

Rogate Construction undertakes a range of residential extensions, including:

• Single-storey extensions

• Double-storey extensions

• Rear extensions

• Side extensions

• Kitchen and dining extensions

• Extensions incorporating structural alterations

• Internal alterations connecting new and existing spaces

We can work from architectural drawings and structural information where these are already available, coordinating the construction work with your architect, designer and structural engineer.

If you are still developing your ideas, we can discuss the practical construction considerations and recommend suitable professionals where required.

Our role is to coordinate the work on site, organise the different trades and help ensure the various stages of your extension are managed in a logical and organised way.

Structural Alterations & Open-Plan Living

Sometimes the best way to improve a property is to make better use of its existing space.

Removing an internal wall, creating a larger opening between rooms or changing the layout of a kitchen can transform the way a home feels and functions.

We undertake structural alterations as part of extension and renovation projects, including:

• Removing or altering internal walls

• Creating larger openings between rooms

• Installing structural steelwork

• Reconfiguring existing layouts

• Creating open-plan kitchen and living areas

• Structural work associated with extensions

• Making good following structural alterations

Where structural calculations or engineering design are required, we can work alongside your structural engineer to coordinate the construction work in accordance with the agreed design.

Building Work for Period & Character Properties

Chichester and the surrounding villages contain a variety of older and character properties. Some homes may also be listed or situated within conservation areas, where additional considerations can apply to alterations and external works.

Renovating these properties requires an understanding of the existing building and the importance of considering new work alongside original features.

Our experience includes work on traditional and character properties, where the aim is to improve the home while respecting its individual characteristics.

Depending on the property and the proposed work, considerations may include:

• Retaining original architectural features

• Selecting appropriate materials and finishes

• Understanding existing construction methods

• Integrating modern services into older buildings

• Coordinating structural alterations

• Working alongside architects and other specialists

Planning permission, listed building consent and other requirements depend on the property and the proposed work. Where these may apply, the necessary requirements should be established before construction begins.

We can coordinate the building stage with your architect and other professionals once the appropriate plans and approvals are in place.
