How we work

A clear process, start to finish

One team, accountable from the first drawing to the final finish.

01

Design & quote

We work from your drawings, or point you to a trusted architect, then provide a clear, itemised quotation.

02

Approvals

We deal with building control, and advise on planning permission or a lawful development certificate — written confirmation from the council that your project did not need permission.

03

Groundworks & structure

Foundations, drainage and structural steel done properly. It is the part that everything else depends on.

04

Build & finish

Watertight shell through to decoration, with regular updates and a tidy, respectful site.

Frequently asked questions

Many single storey rear extensions are allowed without a planning application, as permitted development. On a semi detached or terraced house that means extending up to 3 metres past the original back wall, or 4 metres on a detached house — and up to 6 and 8 metres if you notify the council first and they approve it. Two storey extensions and anything larger normally need full planning permission. We look at your specific house and handle the applications.

A single storey extension typically takes 10 to 16 weeks on site; a double storey project 16 to 24 weeks, plus design and approvals beforehand.
