Home Extensions
We design and construct custom home extensions to increase living space while maintaining structural integrity. Our process includes architectural planning, building regulation compliance, and high-quality material installation. Clients benefit from tailored solutions that enhance property value and functionality through seamless integration with existing structures.
Loft Conversions
Our loft conversion service transforms unused attic spaces into functional rooms like bedrooms or offices. We handle structural reinforcements, insulation, and staircase installations while ensuring compliance with safety standards. Clients receive energy-efficient, habitable spaces that maximise vertical property potential without extending footprints.
Bathroom Refurbishment
We deliver complete bathroom refurbishments, including tiling, plumbing, and fixture installations. Our designs balance aesthetics and practicality, with options for wet rooms and accessibility adaptations. Clients enjoy modernised spaces featuring waterproofing solutions and contemporary finishes that enhance daily usability.
Steel Beam Installation
Our team installs RSJ steel beams to support structural modifications like wall removals or extensions. We ensure precise load calculations and safe integration with existing frameworks. Clients gain open-plan layouts and reinforced structures that meet building regulations while maintaining architectural integrity.
Basement Tanking
We apply advanced tanking systems to protect basements from water ingress using membranes and drainage solutions. Our methods prevent dampness in subterranean spaces, enabling habitable conversions or storage areas. Clients receive durable, watertight environments suitable for various functional uses.
