Extension work
-
Inside a Guildford conservation area the larger home extension route is unavailable, so four and three metres are the limits, and we check your address first.
-
New foundations dug and tied into the existing ones, and building control looks in the trench before any concrete arrives.
-
Beams sized off an engineer's calculation, never estimated, with the figures lodged with building control before cutting starts.
-
Roof, glazing, screed, first fix, second fix, plaster and paint, so what you are handed is a room and not a shell.
Loft conversions
-
Forty cubic metres on a terrace, fifty on a semi or a detached, and the measurement is against the original roof space.
-
Rooflights, dormers and hip to gable work, the new floor designed properly instead of propped off the old rafters.
-
Fire doors, a protected stairway and mains interlinked alarms on every storey.
-
Garage conversions with the slab raised, the opening filled and insulation to the walls.
Interior work
-
Opening two rooms into one means a steel and a calculation, which is why the engineer comes before the sledgehammer.
-
Bathrooms, kitchens, rewiring and heating sequenced so one trade is not waiting on another in the same room.
-
Two months of notice for work on a shared wall, one month for excavating close to next door's foundations.
-
Plastering, joinery and decorating done by people who do it every day, and the house cleaned before handover.
