Extensions

More usable space, shaped around how you live, without leaving the house and street you like.

Why homeowners do it

  • Room for a bigger kitchen, a family space or an extra bedroom
  • Stay in the home and street you already like
  • Avoid the cost and upheaval of moving

Popular projects

  • House extensions
  • Conservatories
  • Porches and canopies
  • Garages and outbuildings

Good to know

  • Many extensions don’t need a planning application, as long as they stay within set size limits.
  • Most extensions do need Building Regulations approval.

The common worry: costs creeping up, and living in a building site for longer than planned. A good first step: see the cost before you commit to anything. That is what the free home survey and quote are for.

Driveways

A practical driveway that makes parking easier and lifts the front of your home.

Why homeowners do it

  • Easier parking, off the road
  • A smarter first impression from the street
  • A hard-wearing surface that’s easy to keep tidy

Popular projects

  • Block paving
  • Tarmac
  • Gravel
  • Paths
  • Dropped kerbs

Good to know

  • A front driveway over 5 square metres needs planning permission, unless the surface lets water through or drains to a lawn or border.
  • A new dropped kerb needs permission from your council.

The common worry: paying someone who does a rough job and can’t be found afterwards. A good first step: know who you’re dealing with. Meet Nathan and read what customers say before you decide.

Landscaping

Outdoor areas turned into spaces you can enjoy and use.

Why homeowners do it

  • A garden laid out for sitting, eating and playing
  • Steps and walls that make a slope usable
  • Less mud and less upkeep

Popular projects

  • Patios and paving
  • Retaining walls
  • Garden steps
  • Paths

Good to know

  • A patio at or near ground level in a back garden doesn’t need planning permission. Big changes in levels, such as terracing, can.
  • Garden walls can usually be up to 2 metres high without it, or 1 metre next to a road.

The common worry: paying someone who does a rough job and can’t be found afterwards. A good first step: know who you’re dealing with. Meet Nathan and read what customers say before you decide.

Brickwork

Brickwork for building projects and improvements around your property.

Why homeowners do it

  • Tidy boundaries and a smarter front
  • Repairs that stop small problems growing
  • Brick chosen to suit the house

Popular projects

  • Garden walls
  • Walls and pillars
  • Repointing
  • Steps
  • Chimney repairs
  • Stonework

Good to know

  • A garden wall up to 1 metre high next to a road, or 2 metres elsewhere, doesn’t usually need planning permission.
  • Work on a wall you share with a neighbour means giving them notice first.

The common worry: paying someone who does a rough job and can’t be found afterwards. A good first step: know who you’re dealing with. Meet Nathan and read what customers say before you decide.

Steelwork

Domestic steelwork for projects that need structural support.

Why homeowners do it

  • Open up rooms without losing support
  • Wider openings that bring in more light
  • Structure worked out by an engineer, not guessed

Popular projects

  • Structural steelwork
  • Beams over new openings
  • Steel for extensions

Good to know

  • Taking out a load-bearing wall needs Building Control approval, with a structural engineer’s calculations.
  • Work inside the house doesn’t usually need planning permission, unless the building is listed.

The common worry: costs creeping up, and living in a building site for longer than planned. A good first step: see the cost before you commit to anything. That is what the free home survey and quote are for.

Alterations

Adapt your existing layout so the rooms work better for you.

Why homeowners do it

  • Make better use of the space you already have
  • Bigger, brighter rooms without extending
  • Turn an unused garage or loft into a room

Popular projects

  • Internal walls
  • Garage conversions
  • Loft conversions

Good to know

  • Changes inside the house don’t usually need planning permission, unless the building is listed.
  • Turning a loft into a room needs Building Regulations approval.
