House extensions, renovations and full refits

A 1960s or 1970s estate house that has never been extended is usually the best candidate for a rear or side extension, because the original layout was built tight and a family has outgrown it, and the same houses are also the ones most often due a new kitchen, a bathroom refit and a proper look at the wiring and insulation. An older property in the town centre more often needs sympathetic renovation, matching materials such as flint or reclaimed red brick rather than adding floor space. New kitchens, bathrooms and loft conversions suit almost any of the three housing types, but the paperwork and the materials differ, so we look at the actual building before we say what fits it. Garden rooms and garage conversions come up regularly out toward the villages, where there is more space to work with and fewer neighbours to consider. We can also handle a genuine new build on a plot if that is what the site calls for.
