In detail

What each job covers

Extensions

Survey and design, foundation and groundworks, brickwork, roof frame, windows, internal partitions, electrics, plumbing, plastering, flooring and finishing.

When you need it. When a household needs more space for a bedroom, kitchen or living area without moving house.

Before you get in touch. Check whether the extension falls within permitted development; have measurements and photos of the property.

Loft Conversions

Structural survey, reinforcing floor joists, staircase installation, windows or rooflights, insulation, plasterboard, electrics, heating and decoration.

When you need it. When a loft space is large enough to use but lacks headroom, access or building regulation compliance.

Before you get in touch. Measure the roof height and length; check if the loft is cluttered or used for storage.

Renovations

Surveying the scope of work, demolition, structural repairs, replastering, rewiring, new fixtures, flooring, decoration and final finishing touches.

When you need it. When a property feels dated, worn or has areas that no longer work for daily living.

Before you get in touch. List which rooms or areas need work; photograph problem areas like damp, outdated finishes or poor layouts.

Brickwork

Laying bricks or stone to spec, pointing mortar joints, building cavity walls, repairing damaged sections and finishing the face of masonry.

When you need it. When walls are cracked, chimneys need rebuilding or new brickwork is part of an extension or project.

Before you get in touch. Note the extent of damage or the section needing building; check if scaffolding will be needed.

Groundworks

Site clearance, excavation, laying foundations, compacting and levelling, drainage runs, hardcore beds and preparation for building work.

When you need it. At the start of any new build, extension or renovation where the ground must be prepared to spec.

Before you get in touch. Confirm site access, check for services underground and know the ground type if possible.

New Builds

From planning to handover: foundations, structural frame, brickwork, roof, windows, all utilities, internal finishes and final inspections.

When you need it. When a client has approved planning permission and is ready to construct a new residential property.

Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Single-storey extensions under 4 metres may be permitted development. Two-storey extensions and larger schemes usually need planning. Building Regulation approval is always required regardless of planning.

What happens if my property has structural problems?

A structural engineer should survey the property first to establish the cause and scope of work. Repairs might involve underpinning foundations, replacing timber or installing steel beams.

How long does a loft conversion typically take?

Most loft conversions take 8 to 12 weeks, depending on complexity, access and whether structural work is needed. Waiting times for inspections can add to the overall timeline.

What is Building Regulation approval and why is it needed?

Building Regulations ensure work meets safety, structural and energy efficiency standards. All new building work, extensions and conversions must be inspected and signed off by a Building Control officer.

Why do renovation costs sometimes go over budget?

Hidden problems like damp, asbestos, rotten timber or poor foundations emerge once work begins. A provisional contingency of 10–20% is typical to cover unforeseen issues.

What do I need to do before renovation work starts?

Clear the space of personal items and furniture. Arrange alternative facilities if kitchen or bathroom work is involved. Agree access routes and confirm site safety rules with the builder.
