Will there be a lot of mess and disruption?Absolutely, minimizing disruption and maintaining cleanliness are top priorities for us. Here's how we ensure a tidy and minimally disruptive work environment: Exterior Protection: We lay down a visqueen sheet and cover the driveway with plywood to protect it from skips and general building work. Interior Protection: Inside your home, we use dust sheets to safeguard against dust and debris. Site Cleanliness: We guarantee to keep the mess on-site to a minimum and leave the area in the same condition as when we first arrived. Respect for Your Home: We understand that your home is your sanctuary so we strive to cause as little disruption as possible throughout the entire construction process. By taking these measures, we ensure that your experience with us is as stress-free and comfortable as possible.

Will my conversion look like the original build?Absolutely! Maintaining consistency in appearance between the conversion and the original build is a priority for us. If the original materials are still available or can be sourced, your conversion will closely resemble the original build. However, if the original materials are no longer available, we will ensure to find the best alternative match possible. We work with professional brick matchers who will visit the site before the start of the project. They will provide you with several brick samples to choose from, ensuring that the final result blends seamlessly with the existing structure.
-
Will I need planning permission for my house extension?In most cases, a house extension will be classified as permitted development, meaning you won't need planning permission. However, if your property is in a Conservation Area, a location where development is restricted to protect the appearance of the surroundings or on a new estate with strict guidelines, it’s important to check what’s allowed. Rest assured, we will handle all necessary checks and permissions for you.
-
When do I pay for my house extension?When it comes to paying for your house extension, we follow a clear and structured payment schedule: Deposit: An initial deposit of 15% to 20% of the total job value is required. Payment Schedule: We will provide you with a detailed payment schedule, indicating the percentages due at different stages of the project. This breakdown will be shared before the contracts are signed. Final Payment: The final payment is only made once you are 100% satisfied with our work.
