House extensions
Extensions built to last and look right
A good extension should look like it was always part of your house. That comes down to the brickwork, and brickwork is what we do best. We take the time to match bricks, mortar colour and bond so the new section sits naturally alongside the original building.
We handle the full build, from groundworks and foundations through to the shell and roof, and can work alongside your architect, structural engineer and other trades.

Superb Brickwork, Highly Recommended
The brickwork on our new‑build barn‑annex, including the chimney stack and a one‑metre perimeter wall, was completed to a superb standard. The team kept the site consistently tidy, worked with real pride, and showed genuine passion for the craft. Everyone was polite, respectful, and easy to deal with, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended for reliable, quality brickwork.
Patio extension
Matt and his fab team recently extended my patio. It was just what I had in mind - the slabs matched perfectly and shingle was added by the fence so it matched existing work. They also tidied up like nothing ever happened. Amazing. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
Build Parapet wall using lime mortar
Quick response and competitive quote.Very neat job using lime mortar to rebuild a section of wall at the top of the house and cap with coping stones.Very friendly crew who were punctual and tidied up thoroughly at the end of the job.
Brickwork to extension.
Matt attended to quote and review on brickwork before and after completion of work. Advised on house generally. Respected garden and placed lawn boards. Particularly impressed with matching the coloured mortar, unlike previous contractor.
High quality work, very happy
Work to update our front steps - rebuild of two brick walls and new sandstone slabs on the steps - was carried out to a high standard. James who carried out the work explained to us each stage of the work, arrived on time each day, and was personable and respectful. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.
Garden and patio redesign
Matt was able to discuss our patio and garden plans with us and and put them in to reality.
The end result is everything we had hoped for, we're really pleased with the result. We now have an eye-catching low maintenance garden.
We also had the house wall repointed.
Reliable and great work
Great work, great communication, sorted out the problem quickly and no fuss, even when the job expanded beyond what we agreed. Result is better than we had originally. Very pleased.
Great work, on time, tidy and well priced.
Excellent job, turned up on time, did a great job exactly as agreed, left the job tidy and charged as quoted. I will definitely use them again.
FAQs
House extension FAQs
Do I need planning permission?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but it depends on your home and location. Two-storey extensions usually need planning permission.
How long does an extension take to build?
A single-storey extension typically takes 8 to 12 weeks; two-storey builds take longer. We’ll give you a programme with your quote.
Do I need a Party Wall Agreement?
If you’re building on or near a shared boundary, you may need to serve notice under the Party Wall Act. We can point you in the right direction.
Can you work from my architect’s plans?
Yes, and we’re happy to liaise with your architect and engineer throughout.
