Our process in a nutshell

We won’t baffle you with building terms and technical jargon. Here’s a brief rundown on our process. We are happy to answer your questions.

Free consultation and quote

We visit you at a convenient time for a free consultation and quote. You tell us about your vision and your family’s lifestyle. We listen to your needs and take a look around. Together we come up with a solution that meets your needs.
You are invited to look at our gallery of success stories. We welcome you to contact previous customers for references on our work.

Planning and design

For your protection and peace of mind we issue a transparent contract.
The payment schedule is detailed in the contract. Payment is made after each major phase for your convenience and protection. The final instalment is not paid until after completion. This ensures you are 100% happy with our work.
We draw up plans according to your specifications. Plans are submitted to the Local authority for building regulations approval and planning permission if needed.
Party Wall Awards need to be issued to adjoining neighbours before work can start. We take care of this for you.

Construction Phase

Using our tried and tested process you could be benefiting from your new space in as little as 4 to 8 weeks.
Scaffolding is erected – For your protection we alarm the scaffolding.
A small opening is made in the roof from the outside. The bulk of our work is completed via this hole to minimise disruption. We secure the opening at night to protect your home from the elements and unwanted guests. The opening will be in place for 3-4 weeks.
