Newbuilds
Would you like to build your forever home start to finish or maybe you have some land and would like to do a bespoke project. If so, we’d be happy to work with you to establish the project plan right through to the build and completion phases.
How long dose it take to build a new build house?
More Info
It will take around 6 months to build a detached 3-bedroom house that is approximately 6m by 6m in size. Plenty of factors contribute to the overall delivery of a large project like this, but assuming everything goes to plan in-line with the details of the original quotation, this is the average time to completion.
How do I get services to a new build?
More Info
Leave it with us!! We will deal with arranging all services to be correctly connected to the new property.
Can I change parts of the build during the project?
More Info
In essence yes you can. However whilst we are progressing with the project, there will be milestones met, and at these points some alterations to the project will be past the point of being easily changed without incurring larger costs than if the changes were requested prior to a milestone that will be affected by the change.
How do payments work?
More Info
Payments for the project are spread throughout the build, and will be discussed during the quotation stages so that everyone understands what happens and when – particularly with regards to payments.
Loft Conversions
Do you need an extra bedroom, bathroom or even office space, why not convert your loft?
What type of loft conversion can I have?
More Info
How long will a loft conversion take?
More Info
A standard size loft **m by **m will take around 8 weeks start to finish. This is an average and is dependent on the size and complexity of the interior once extended.
Will a loft conversion add value to my home?
More Info
In most cases yes, a loft conversion adding an additional bedroom and bathroom can certainly add value to your home.

Extensions
Home extensions are a cost-efficient way to maximise the space in your home. If you have sufficient land or footprint to the building and would benefit from extra space of any kind, then you should consider an extension to your property and add value to your home in doing so.
How long will a single back extension take?
More Info
A single back extension **m by **m will take around 8 weeks start to finish. Of course like most building projects there can be inforseen cirumstances which would lead to delays, however, assuming all goes to plan this is a reasonable turnover time for you to plan for.
Can a back extension add value to my home?
More Info
In most cases yes, adding additional living space to you home can add value to your home. Bedrooms usually equate to an increase in price more than most extentions, but increasing the total footprint of a property should increase it’s value and appeal.
Is my home ever left exposed/open overnight during a project?

Refurbishments
Whether it’s a new bathroom, kitchen or just a room that needs plastering no job is to big or small for us. Taking the pain and frustration out of doing the works yourself, we cover all aspects of rennovation works to your property.
Can you do multiple refurbishment projects at once?
More Info
Yes. This is very common. Some times we are asked to combined mutiple jobs into a single project in order to minimise disruption to your home/property. If we don’t, or we can’t – we will discuss this with you and the possible alternative breakdowns to complete your project.
Can I do some of the work to keep costs down?
More Info
By all means you can work on parts of the project you feel comfortable working on. It should be discussed before we agree a quotation, and continue with the works as we should avoid surprises. If our work relies on your involvement then we will outline the milestones we need for this to work.
Can you advise on Refurbishments?
More Info
Yes, we are more than happy to look at any concerns or ideas and advise on anything we feel may work for you, and more often than not, advising someone can result in some fantastic ideas you may never have considered – so please to ask. We are happy to come and meet you to show us where you are with thoughts, and we’ll take it away to gether from there.
Can you refurbish anything?
More Info
Most refurbishment enquiries will have a direction we can take with you. If we feel anything is unsafe or could cause problems later on down the line, we would advise accordingly. Why not try us, we love a challenge.
Landscaping
Would you like a new driveway, patio or decking area? Or maybe artificial grass or perhaps even decorative brick walls – whatever you are thinking of we can help you achieve this and help get you on the right path.
Can you build garden rooms and outhouses?
More Info
Absolutely. People often like to use their large garden areas to add an additional Bar, Summer house, gym, games room or pretty much anything you can think of.
Can you help me design my landscaping project?
More Info
Of course we can. You may just have an idea of what you’d like the Garden space to acheive, and we’ll be more than happy to help design and plan the project.
Do you need easy access for large machinery?
More Info
If it is required for heavy machinery, we can usually find a way in. This can be tricky, but we will understand the challenge once we see the site. Sometimes this can dictate what is possible in your garden (for example). With that said, there’s nothing wrong with a good bit of elbow grease and digging out manually!
Can I supply the paving slabs / grass
More Info
We are happy to work with the materials you can buy. However we have a large network fo suppliers that give us the materials at a trade price and we are able to pass on somekind of discount in the process, so it is usually cheaper to come with us. By lettling us supply the materials, we know what we are working with.
Do you supply and fit Artificial Grass?
More Info
Yes. This is very common at the moment and we have been preparing and fitting gardens with this kind of grass for a few years now – so many benefits like not having to cut the grass, always even green, pet friendly, perfectly looking finished grass.

Can I have any colour frames I want?

Would you take away my old windows?
More Info
Yes we would take away your old windows and doors unless you needed us to leave them for you to dispose of or sell.
