With over 80 years of combined experience, we deliver expert construction services built on trust and professional integrity. We pride ourselves on a seamless process that prioritizes your vision and peace of mind. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our core standards:
Many conversions fall under “Permitted Development,” meaning full planning permission isn’t always required. However, there are specific limits on volume and height. With our two generations of experience, we can guide you through the local regulations to ensure your project is fully compliant with building control from day one.
Safety is our priority. Whether we are reinforcing floor joists in a loft or upgrading the slab in a garage, we ensure all structural work meets modern building standards. We provide the “superior quality and craftsmanship” needed to ensure your new living space is safe, sound, and seamless with the rest of your property.
Yes. We specialize in transforming “cold” spaces into comfortable rooms. We use high-performance insulation and high-quality glazing to ensure your new bedroom or office stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This not only makes the space livable but also helps maintain your home’s overall energy efficiency.
While every project is unique, most garage conversions take 2–4 weeks, while loft conversions typically take 6–10 weeks. As a family-run business, we understand the importance of your schedule; we work to a strict timeline to ensure your project is delivered “on time and on budget” with minimal disruption to your daily life.
We’re a family of experienced builders with a team of project managers, and main contractors committed to delivering excellence in every project.
