Services, with prices up front
Every service below is quoted as a fixed, written price after a free site visit. The figures here are where real jobs start, including VAT.
Single-storey extensions
Rear and side-return extensions that open the back of the house onto the garden: foundations, steels, glazing and the kitchen floor levelled through.
Double-storey extensions
Side and rear extensions over two floors: a bigger kitchen below, a bedroom and bathroom above, tied into the existing roof so it looks like it was always there.
Loft conversions
Rear dormer, hip-to-gable and rooflight lofts with a proper staircase, a shower room and head height where you actually stand.
Garage conversions
Integral and attached garages turned into a study, playroom, bedroom or utility: insulated floor, new window where the door was, heated and plastered.
Structural openings
Load-bearing walls taken out on steels or brick arches: kitchen-diners knocked through, chimney breasts removed, wide openings formed and made good.
Brick, stone and heritage repair
Lime repointing, matched brick and stone, rebuilt chimneys and arches for houses that were built before cement, by the gang that trained on them.
The same five stages on every job
-
Site visit
Within 10 working days
We walk the house with you, measure, check the drains and the loft, and tell you what needs approval. Free, about an hour.
-
Drawings and approvals
4 to 12 weeks
Our designer draws it, the engineer sizes the steels, and we submit planning and building regulations for you.
-
Fixed written quote
5 working days after drawings
Line by line, provisional sums named, a start date and a programme week by week. You sign when you are ready.
-
The build
As programmed
One site manager, a weekly update every Friday, building control booked and met. The site is swept every evening.
-
Handover
Last week on site
A snagging walk-round, the completion certificate, the guarantee in writing and a visit back at six months.
