In detail

What each job covers

Extensions

Survey and design, foundation and structure, walls and roof, windows and doors, plumbing and electrics, plastering and decoration to finished standard.

When you need it. When the existing home is too small, a room is needed for a growing family or to add value before selling.

Before you get in touch. Decide roughly what space is needed and check if planning permission may apply to the proposed addition.

Loft Conversions

Structural survey, reinforcing joists, stairs, flooring, walls, windows or roof lights, plumbing, electrics, insulation and finishing.

When you need it. A bedroom or office is needed but there is unused loft space, or to avoid moving to a larger property.

Before you get in touch. Check roof type and headroom. Have building plans or a sketch of the loft space to hand.

Renovations

Assessment of existing condition, structural repairs, rewiring and plumbing replacement, internal reconfiguration, new finishes and decoration.

When you need it. An old house needs updating, systems are failing, layout is outdated or the property needs restoring after long vacancy.

Before you get in touch. Photograph any obvious damage. List which systems or areas concern you most. Have access to the full property.

Brickwork

Building new brick walls, pointing mortar joints, repairing damaged brickwork, rebuilding chimneys and rendering external surfaces.

When you need it. A wall is cracked or crumbling, pointing is failing, a chimney is unsafe or a new structure needs brick skin.

Before you get in touch. Note when damage started and whether it is getting worse. Check if the wall is load-bearing or cosmetic.

Groundworks

Site survey and levels, excavation, foundation trenches, concrete bases, drainage systems, fencing and external hard landscaping.

When you need it. Building a new property, extending substantially or laying proper drainage for a plot that currently lacks it.

Before you get in touch. Obtain or check existing site plans. Know the intended use and any known ground conditions or services.

New Builds

Design and planning coordination, foundations and concrete, structural frame, roof, external walls, services installation, fit-out and final sign-off.

When you need it. Land has been acquired for development or a gap site needs rebuilding with a new residential property.

Before you get in touch. Have site ownership and planning permission (or approval path) confirmed. Collect any soil or survey reports.

Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Many single-storey extensions and loft conversions are permitted development, but rules vary by size, location and local authority. Listed buildings need consent for almost any work. Check the planning portal or speak to the local council beforehand.

What building regulations apply to home extensions?

All extensions must meet Building Regulations covering foundations, structural safety, insulation, electrics, plumbing and fire safety. A Building Control inspector checks the work at key stages and issues a completion certificate.

How long does a typical loft conversion take?

A standard loft conversion usually takes 8 to 12 weeks, depending on structural work needed, whether new windows or roof lights are required, and if services must be rerouted. Complexity of existing roof structure affects the timeline.

What is repointing and when is it needed?

Repointing is replacing old mortar between bricks. It is needed when mortar crumbles, allowing water to enter the wall, or when pointing has eroded. Regular inspection helps catch it before structural damage occurs.

Why does groundwork matter on a new build?

Poor groundwork leads to foundation failure, subsidence and cracking. Site levels must be correct, drainage must work and concrete must be properly laid. This foundation determines how well the building will last.

What questions should I ask before hiring a builder?

Ask how the work will be managed, timescales, payment schedule and what happens if issues arise. Confirm they understand the scope and any planning or Building Control requirements. Request references from similar recent work.
