Single and double storey extensions across Croydon and South East London, taken from footings to the final coat by one team. Structure, brickwork, roof, plastering, plumbing and electrics all handled in-house, and the joinery that finishes it made in our own workshop.

One team from the first dig to the last coat of paint. Nobody waits three weeks for a trade to become available, because the trades are already on the job.
We work to your architect and structural engineer, and we are used to building control inspections at the stages they actually happen rather than being chased for them.
Steels sized, installed and cased, and the knock-through into the existing house done with the propping and the padstones the calculations call for.
Flat and pitched roofs, lanterns, rooflights and bifolds set out so the head heights line through and the water goes where it is supposed to.
Plastering, second fix, tiling, decorating and the making good where the new work meets the old. That last ten per cent is where most extensions are let down.
Because the workshop is ours, fitted storage, seating and shelving can be designed into the extension while it is still on paper rather than bolted on afterwards.
A straightforward single storey rear extension in the Croydon area is usually somewhere between ten and sixteen weeks on site, depending on the ground, the steels and how much of the existing house is being opened up. You get a programme in writing before anything starts, and you get told when it moves and why.
A lot of single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but that changes if the property is a flat, is in a conservation area, or has already been extended. Double storey work almost always needs a full application. We will tell you what we think you are looking at, and we work alongside whoever draws it up.
We build, and we work day to day with architects, designers and structural engineers who do the drawings and calculations. If you have not got anyone yet we will point you at people we already work with, so the design and the build are not fighting each other.
On most rear extensions, yes, right up until the knock-through. We keep the existing house sealed off from the work, run a temporary wall where we need one, and plan the disruptive week or two for when it suits you.
From the drawings and a look at the site, itemised so you can see what the groundworks, the structure, the roof and the finishes each cost. Provisional sums are labelled as provisional rather than buried, and any change gets priced before it is done.
Tell us what you are planning and we will come back with an honest price and a start date.
