A wrap-around extension typically combines a side return with a rear projection, giving you a larger kitchen-diner, utility space, or open-plan living while staying within your plot. Early decisions on how the new roof meets the existing house, and how natural light enters the plan, make a big difference to the finished room.
We work with your drawings and structural specification — or can signpost you to designers — so the build sequence is clear: foundations, shell, weathering in, then first fix services before plastering and finishing. If you are in a conservation area or your home is listed, extra consents may apply; we factor that into programme and site logistics from the start.
Whether the project is residential or commercial, clear communication on milestones keeps everyone aligned. When you are ready to talk scope and budget, contact our sales team.
A full strip-out means removing kitchens, bathrooms, floor finishes, and often stud partitions back to structure so the property can be rewired, replumbed, and reconfigured cleanly. It is disruptive but it avoids layering new work on top of tired services or damp issues that would surface later.
Expect dust control, waste removal, and staged access — especially if you remain in occupation. We sequence works so critical rooms come back in a sensible order, and we coordinate kitchen and bathroom supply deliveries with installation dates to limit standing time on site.
Smaller refurbishments follow the same principles on a reduced scale: protect adjacent areas, verify substrates, and finish to a standard that matches the rest of the building.
Before converting a garage into living space, it helps to confirm how you will replace lost storage or parking, and how the new room will connect to the house for heating and ventilation. Floor levels often need bringing up to match internal thresholds, and the old opening must be built in to match the existing façade.
Insulation and damp management are not optional: floors, walls, and roofs need to meet current expectations so the room is comfortable year-round. Building Regulations approval is usually required even when planning permission is not.
Popular uses include home offices, spare bedrooms, playrooms, and utility areas. We can walk through options on site and outline a realistic programme once we have seen the structure.
Block paving, natural stone, and concrete finishes each behave differently for maintenance, slip resistance, and cost. The right choice depends on gradient, how much traffic the surface will take, and the look you want against brick or render.
Drainage matters: surface water should be directed away from buildings and, where required, managed in line with local rules. We set out falls and edge restraints so the paved area stays stable and does not pond against walls.
If you are combining paving with an extension or landscaping, we can often programme the groundworks together to reduce disruption and cost.
