Some of Our Top FAQ and cost breakdown inquiries.
How Much Will It Cost?
The cost of any renovation or extension will depend on how extensive (or not) the job is. We prepare an accurate quote for you, so you know how much the work will cost. In general, costs will depend on a number of factors, including:
- The type and size of conversion or extension you want.
- The size of your property.
- The type of house you own.
- Any building regulations placed on your home – for example, if your property is a listed building or you live in a conservation area.
- Any additional installations or fixtures you would like to include.
- Whether you need planning permission.
Will I Need Planning Permission?
Planning permission may be required, depending on what you are changing in your home. For example, where the loft or kitchen conversion exceeds 50 cubic metres, if you live in a listed property or a conservation area, or whether you or a previous owner have previously extended or altered the property amongst others. We will advise you whether you need to secure planning permission during our initial consultation.
Is The Work Guaranteed?
Yes. We offer a 10-year warranty on all the work that we do, so you know that you have made a reliable, long-term investment.
Do You Offer Plumbing, Electrical And Carpentry Services?
Yes, we do offer these services and can incorporate them into a tailored quote.

How Long Will The Work Take?

Can I Continue To Live In The Property During The Work?
Usually, yes. Our construction team minimises noise, debris and disturbance as far as possible, enabling you to continue to live in the house. With extensions, much of the work can be undertaken from the outside using scaffolding along the exterior of your home to further reduce disruption.
