Services
House Extensions
We create spacious living areas through bespoke house extensions. Our process includes cavity wall insulation with Saletex, taped insulation joints to prevent heat loss, and clean cavity completion to avoid damp issues. Clients benefit from competitive pricing, with recent projects costing 30% less than competitor quotes while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic consistency.
Loft Conversions
Specialist loft conversion service featuring fibreglass flat roofs with integrated drainage solutions. We incorporate bi-folding doors, safety-compliant railings, and innovative support structures that maintain building integrity. Completed projects include full bathroom installations with skylights, delivering functional living spaces that meet all regulatory requirements and client specifications.
Listed Building Work
Precision stonework replacement for listed buildings maintains historical authenticity. Our team matches new materials to existing structures, as demonstrated in 1891 convent conversions. Services include sympathetic pointing techniques using wire brushes to create aged finishes, and structural reinforcement solutions that preserve conservation area requirements while ensuring modern safety standards.
Roofing Repairs
Comprehensive roofing solutions from minor repairs to full replacements. We address structural issues like cracked window heads requiring lintel installation, using original materials where possible. Recent projects incorporated drainage-focused decking support systems that impressed both clients and building inspectors through innovative design approaches.
Groundworks
Complete groundworks service including drainage installation and site preparation. Our approach ensures proper water management through lead socket installations that prevent seepage while maintaining structural breathability. Projects incorporate dust control measures and site tidiness protocols to minimise disruption to existing properties during excavation and foundation work.
