Extensions built around the way you live
Extending your home could be one of the largest investments you make after buying it. You want the right people to build it – a team who will guide you with expert help and advice, deliver your plans and add value to your home.
Home extensions
A well-designed extension can be tailored to your needs and can be more cost-effective and less stressful than moving. Popular projects include:
- Kitchen extensions with open-plan living or dining
- An extra living room or playroom
- A home office
- An extra bedroom, master suite or guest suite
- An additional bathroom or en-suite
Garage conversions
Converting your garage is an ideal way to create extra ground-floor space for a larger kitchen, separate utility room, office or playroom, open-plan family living or an extra bedroom.

Design, planning and building regulations
We can recommend several architects or work with your own. Most extensions need planning permission and building regulations approval from your local council, and an architect will be very helpful here. Once work starts we supply a schedule so you know when each stage will happen and when key decisions – such as windows, doors, sanitaryware, kitchen and flooring – are needed.

Single-storey and rear extensions
A single-storey rear or side extension is the most popular way to create a bigger kitchen, an open-plan family room or an extra bedroom. French or bi-fold doors and a roof lantern bring in plenty of light and connect the new space to the garden.
Built properly from the ground up
Our own team digs the foundations, builds the walls and roof and carries out the first and second fix, so the same people look after your extension from start to finish. Building control inspect the work at each stage and you receive a completion certificate at the end.
