Hup!

“We’re big fans of Grand Designs and when we started looking at replacing the old conservatory we wondered why you couldn’t use a system with panels and then we found hup! . With bricks and mortar it would have taken a lot longer to do, plus we did our project in October and so we didn’t want the house exposed to the weather for long and hup! was the perfect solution.” More...

“We knew that building with hup! is fast but seeing the build take place in just 3-4 days was incredible. We both have busy jobs and so it was great that one small team took care of everything for us. Once our new space was built, we couldn’t believe how warm it was – even before our radiator was fitted it was already as warm as the rest of our home! We have removed the doors that used to separate the old conservatory from our kitchen and are delighted that we now have a stunning open plan extension that took a matter of weeks. This will totally change how we live in our home, and we are so glad that hup! has made our vision a reality in such a stress free way.” More...

So glad I chose hup! for my extension!

Where to start.....

Firstly, hup! allowed me to have a design that suited the property and gave me want I wanted.
There are so many options to chose from (roof type, glass panels, wall finishes etc) but the process was really simple.
I choose the Tiled Roof with glass panels in the roof, which allows plenty of light into the room below and kitchen off from the extension.

The hup! wall panels are much slimmer than traditionally built extensions (brick & block), which meant I gained an extra 1.3m2 useable internal space, than if I was to have gone down the traditional route - so half of my utility space was more of less for free!

From base up - it was watertight and secure in 2 days!!
It was built when the weather was below freezing (snow & ice), so I would of had to wait until the weather was better to start normally - however, the electrician started on day 4 and the plasterer started the week after - would have taken weeks longer if I went with a brick build!

The room retains heat very well in winter (even with large amounts of glass in the roof and bifolds) and is one of the coolest rooms in summer!

Would 100% recommend the hup! technology if you want a quicker, warmer, neater built extension, that gives you more space in less time than a traditional brick and block. More...

We are beyond happy with our HUP extension. We chose this to replace a 20 year old traditional conservatory. We probably could have used for around 3 months a year due to it being very poorly insulated. After around a year trying to get plans finalised by traditional building methods and finally being told the extension would not be built to our initial plan s and also the cost had gone beyond our comfortable budget we then found Ultraframe on line and looked into their extensions. Wow what difference - they put us intouch with one of their building companies close to our location. From the initial consultation to the final handing over the company was fantastic. They were great workers and supplied us exactly what we had visualised initially. The HUP extension came to site exactly as and when quoted, no mess or waste. From damp proof the extension was up and water tight in four days with no disruption. The final results weee simply stunning - we had more room than a traditional build due to the thickness of the walls, we managed to get an extra bonus of a downstairs toilet in the plan. The extension is extremely light inside with all the glass panels. Over the winter we have found that it is comfortable enough to use without any extra heating and hopefully due to the insulation it will stay cool in summer. I would be more than happy to recommend HUP and ultraframe to anyone wanting this type of extension. More...
