Services
Loft Conversions
Loft conversions maximise existing space by transforming underused attics into functional rooms. Our designs comply with building regulations while optimising headroom and structural integrity. Clients benefit from increased property value and tailored layouts suited to their needs.
House Extensions
House extensions create additional living space through ground or two-storey additions. We handle planning permissions, design feasibility, and technical drawings to ensure compliance with local regulations and neighbour considerations.
Garage Conversions
Garage conversions transform underutilised spaces into habitable rooms without requiring planning permission in most cases. Our detailed drawings ensure compliance with building regulations and maximise usability for clients.
Internal Alterations
Internal alterations reconfigure existing layouts to improve functionality and aesthetics. We provide creative solutions for reorganising spaces while adhering to structural and regulatory requirements.
Planning Drawings
Planning drawings translate client visions into technical blueprints for regulatory submissions. Our precise documentation streamlines approvals and ensures clarity for builders during construction phases.

Report
Appointed House Alterations to extend my existing kitchen in to a large family / diner and very pleased with the results. Guy handled the planning and building regulation process very efficiently and explained every step to us along the way. My builder was very impressed with the quality of the drawings. Certainly recommend.
