Our Services

What we build across the area

The same ten kinds of work in every town on the list.

  • Detached new build in grey and red brick with the roof on and groundworks still open

    Builders

    New builds and full home builds from excavation to handover, run by one family firm with its own tradespeople on site every day.

  • Extension footprint being dug out beside a semi-detached house with a mini digger

    House Extensions

    Single and two storey extensions, rear, side and wraparound, built to tie into the original house so the join is hard to find.

  • Close view of a handmade-style red brick being checked against a finished wall

    Brickwork

    The trade Pete started in over 40 years ago: new walls, matching old brick, piers, arches, repointing and natural stone.

  • Insulation boards fitted between new roof rafters during a loft build

    Loft Conversions

    Dormer, hip-to-gable and roof-light loft conversions that turn an unused roof space into a proper room with stairs to match.

  • Excavated trench with a drainage pipe beneath a timber lintel

    Structural & Groundworks

    Foundations, drainage, slabs, steel beams and opening up walls: the work underneath every extension and new build.

  • House renovation with timber cladding above rendered walls and new windows

    Renovation & Refurbishment

    Whole-house renovations, reconfigured layouts, kitchens and joinery, from period cottages to post-war semis.

  • New red brick garden wall with piers running along a driveway

    Patios & Garden Walls

    Porcelain and stone patios on a properly dug base, and brick or stone garden walls with piers and copings that stay straight.

  • Sharp sand bed and block paving edging being set out with a spirit level

    Landscaping

    Hard landscaping done in-house: site preparation, levels, drainage, retaining walls, paths and paved areas.

  • Round brick well with an oak frame and shingled timber roof

    Carpentry

    Structural timber, roofs, stud walls, fitted furniture, kitchens, doors and joinery, fitted by the same team doing the build.

  • Old brick wall opened up for structural work

    Basement Conversions

    Turning a cellar or dug-out space under the house into a dry, usable room, with the structure and waterproofing done properly.
