Services
Loft Conversions
We specialise in converting underutilised attic spaces into functional living areas. Our process begins with architectural design optimising your property's existing structure, followed by expert construction of staircases, skylights, and wooden fittings. The service concludes with interior finishing touches including bespoke furniture installation and decorative elements, ensuring every conversion maximises both space and property value.
Home Extensions
Our home extension service covers complete design and build solutions for expanding living spaces. We handle planning permissions through our architect, construct structural elements like walls and foundations, and complete interior finishes. The process includes detailed space planning consultations to ensure new areas integrate seamlessly with existing layouts while meeting individual functional requirements and aesthetic preferences.
Bespoke Furniture Design
We create tailor-made furniture solutions to maximise awkward spaces, particularly in loft conversions. Using our workshop facilities, we design and craft pieces that fit exact dimensions while complementing overall interior schemes. This service combines traditional carpentry skills with modern design principles to produce unique storage solutions and functional elements that enhance both aesthetics and practicality in residential spaces.
Planning Applications
Our planning application service manages all necessary permissions for loft conversions and extensions. We collaborate with our architect to prepare detailed submissions and liaise with local authorities throughout the approval process. This includes addressing any council requirements, ensuring compliance with building regulations, and maintaining clear communication to streamline approvals while minimising client involvement.
Six-Month Aftercare
We provide a comprehensive post-completion inspection six months after project handover. This service specifically checks for wood movement issues, examines all fittings, and addresses any defects that may emerge during initial settling periods. The aftercare visit ensures long-term satisfaction by proactively resolving potential concerns and maintaining the structural integrity of our workmanship over time.
