What we build

Six jobs we do properly,
rather than sixty we don't.

Rear & side extensions

Single and double storey. Steel beams, structural openings, cavity walls, warm flat roofs, lanterns and bifolds. Permitted development or full planning — we handle both.

Typical run: 12–16 weeks on site

Loft conversions

Rear dormers, hip-to-gable and rooflight conversions. Steels, floor joists, staircase, insulation to current regs, en-suite plumbed in. Head height checked before you're quoted.

Typical run: 8–10 weeks on site

New build homes

Infill and garden plots taken from foundations to handover — groundworks, drainage, superstructure, roof, services, finishes and Building Control certification.

Typical run: 9–14 months

Full refurbishment

Whole-house strip-outs. Rewire, replumb, new boiler, plaster, joinery, flooring and decoration — sequenced so trades aren't standing on each other's work.

Typical run: 10–14 weeks

Kitchens & bathrooms

Walls out, services moved, floors levelled, units fitted, tiling and second fix. Waterproofing done to the standard you'd want behind your own tiles.

Typical run: 3–5 weeks

Groundworks & structural

Foundations, drainage runs, load-bearing openings, steel installation, retaining walls, driveways and patios. Calcs from a structural engineer on anything that holds a house up.

Priced per scope

Programme of works

The honest answer to
“how long will it take?”

A typical single-storey rear extension in Redbridge, start to handover. Most of the wait is paperwork, and it happens before anyone touches your garden. Your job gets its own dated programme with the quote.

  1. Survey & fixed quote 1 day
  2. Drawings, calcs & approvals 4–8 weeks
  3. Groundworks & foundations 2–3 weeks
  4. Brickwork, steels & roof 3–4 weeks
  5. First fix, plaster & screed 2–3 weeks
  6. Finishes, snagging & sign-off 2–3 weeks

Before we startOn site

How we work

Four promises you can
hold us to in writing.

One point of contact

The person who measures your job runs your job. You get a mobile number, not a call centre, and the same voice from first visit to final certificate.

A fixed written quote

Priced line by line from the drawings and specification, with what's included and what isn't set out plainly. Variations are agreed and priced in writing before the work happens.

Building Control at every stage

Inspections booked at foundations, DPC, structure, insulation and completion. You finish with a completion certificate — the piece of paper your buyer's solicitor will ask for.

Your house handed back clean

Floors and stairs protected, dust screens up, skips and waste removed weekly by a licensed carrier, and a proper snagging walk-round before we ask for the final payment.

Insurance certificates, structural engineer's calculations and Building Control paperwork are supplied with your quote and at handover. Ask and we'll send them before you commit to anything.

Where we work

Within about
15 miles of IG6.

Close enough that the team is on site by half seven and the same trades come back for the snagging. If you're just outside the list, ask — a good job is worth the drive.
