Extensions across Norfolk and Suffolk

No. Drawings and structural calculations come from an architect or structural engineer and we build to them. We are happy to work alongside whoever you appoint, and we can talk through what is buildable before you commit to a design, which often saves money at the drawing stage.

That depends on the size and position of the extension and on your property, and it is decided by your local planning authority, not by us. Your local authority planning department is the place to confirm, and it is worth doing that before a design is fixed.

In most single storey extension projects yes, although there will be a period where the existing wall is opened up and a period without a usable kitchen if the kitchen is involved. We agree beforehand which parts of the house stay in use and we seal the work area off from the rest of the house.

The carpentry and the build are ours. Groundworks, brickwork, roofing, plastering, plumbing and electrics are carried out by trades we know and coordinate on site. You deal with us rather than with six separate companies.

Yes, and it is the reason this pairing is worth asking about. The team that built the space fits the units into it, so nobody arrives to find the services are in the wrong place or the floor level was never set for the finished floor covering.

Structural work is signed off through building control and we work to the inspection stages on the programme, making sure the work is ready at the right points. The application itself sits with you or your agent, and we make sure what we build matches what has been approved.

Cart lodges are a service in their own right for us and are a common alternative when what you actually need is covered parking and storage rather than more living space. Ask us and we will tell you honestly which of the two suits what you are trying to achieve.

They are part of the project and we coordinate them, working to the depths and details the engineer's drawings and building control require. The digging and concreting is specialist work done by the groundworkers on the job, and the inspection stages for it go through your local building control.

On almost any extension, yes, and it is arranged as part of the project rather than being something you have to sort out. Where it goes depends on the design and on access down the side of the house, which is one of the things we check when we look at the property.

If you have drawings, send them through the enquiry form and we will arrange to come and look at the property. If you do not have drawings yet, call and talk it through first, because a conversation before the drawing stage often changes what gets drawn. Quotes cost nothing.
