Contractor in Raalte and the villages of Salland

Living with space in Salland

In and around Raalte many homes have a generous garden, sometimes with a detached shed or garage. That offers opportunities. A canopy attached to the house, a garden room at the end of the garden or an extension that pulls the living room towards the garden.

With a detached or semi-detached house there is often more possible than with a terraced house. What can be done without a permit depends on the position on the plot, the size and the municipality of Raalte's environmental plan. Read beforehand what permit-free building means.

• Made-to-measure timber canopy or garden room
• Extension towards the garden for more living space
• Checking the environmental plan together first

Contractor Raalte for garages and sheds

A garage or shed that is hardly used for the car any more can become a workspace, hobby room or guest room. It does need proper insulation. We fix a timber frame against the wall, fill it with insulation, add a vapour control membrane and finish it with insulated lining walls.

We have such a job on our own project page too: an insulated garage with mineral wool and lining walls. In converting a garage into living space you can read what to watch out for if you really want to live in it.

If a garage really becomes living space, it may need a permit and there are requirements for daylight and ventilation. The room often gets a new floor and an insulated ceiling as well. Shahiro discusses with you what is needed and in which order it is best tackled.

Refurbishing village homes

In the older parts of Raalte there are village homes that have often been altered a few times already. Sometimes there are surprises behind a wall or under a floor. That is why we first look carefully at what is there before proposing an approach.

A new layout is often requested: a wall removed, an open kitchen, a new ceiling. A smooth plastered ceiling and new walls are often part of it too. Through our network we bring in a plasterer and electrician.

Renovating a house while people live in it calls for good planning. We work room by room, screen off against dust and keep you informed about what happens when. That way the house stays as usable as possible during the work.
