One firm from the first sketch to the last coat of paint. We measure up, work out what the space can actually take, get the drawings and approvals sorted, then build it with our own team. There is no architect blaming the builder and no builder blaming the drawings, because the people pricing the job are the people doing it.
You ring one number for the drawings, the structural work, the trades and the finish. Nobody is waiting on anybody else to turn up and nothing falls down the gap between two companies.
Plenty of schemes get drawn up that nobody can afford to build. We price as we design, so you find out what a layout costs while it is still a line on paper and cheap to change.
Planning where the work needs it, permitted development where it does not, building control and party wall notices where they apply. We tell you which of those your job is before you commit to anything.
The team that walks in on day one is our own, so the detail that was agreed in the drawings is the detail that gets built rather than something reinterpreted by a subcontractor.
It means one company carries the job from the idea to the finished room instead of you appointing a designer, then a builder, then chasing both. We survey the property, work out what is possible, produce the drawings, deal with the approvals and then build it with our own team. The practical difference is where the risk sits: if something on the drawings will not work on site, that is ours to solve rather than an extra you get billed for.
For most house work, no. Extensions, loft conversions and internal reconfigurations are done every day on drawings prepared for building control rather than a full architectural service, and we produce those. Where a job genuinely warrants an architect, a heavily glazed contemporary scheme, a listed building or something unusual structurally, we will say so and work alongside one rather than pretend otherwise.
From a measured survey and a written specification, not from a guess over the phone. You get a fixed price against a schedule of exactly what is included, what the allowances are for things like tiles and sanitaryware, and what is excluded. Variations only happen if you change your mind or if something genuinely unforeseen appears once a floor or a wall is open, and then you get the cost before the work happens.
The design and approvals side is usually four to ten weeks depending on whether planning is involved, and the build depends on the job: a single room reconfiguration is two to four weeks, a rear extension eight to fourteen, a loft conversion six to ten. You get a programme with the quote, and if the programme slips you get told why rather than finding out by watching nobody arrive.
Yes, and it happens often. If you have had a scheme drawn up already, send it over and we will price the build from it and tell you honestly if there is anything on there that will cause trouble on site or cost far more than it needs to. You are not obliged to redesign anything to get a price from us.
Dormer, hip to gable, rooflight or a full mansard, worked out from what your roof will actually allow rather than what fits a brochure.
ServiceRear, side return and wrap-around extensions built from the footings up: foundations dug and inspected, structure and steels in, roof on and weathertight, then the inside fitted out and joined into the rest of the house so it reads as one room rather than a bolted-on box.
ServiceStrip out, first fix, fit and finish.
ServiceFull rip-out to a finished room: old suite and tiles off, pipework and wiring reworked, walls squared and boarded, tanking where it matters, then tiled, fitted and sealed.
ServiceA downstairs WC under the stairs, an en-suite carved out of a bedroom, a shower room in the loft.
ServiceStud partitions, new openings and closed-up doorways: turning one big room into two, splitting a through lounge, forming a hallway, boxing in a utility or opening a wall up with a beam over it.
ServiceThe wiring and pipework side of a refurbishment, handled by our own team instead of booked in around somebody else's diary.
ServiceBoarding, skimming, patching and rendering.
ServiceWalls and floors, large format porcelain, metro, mosaic and natural stone.
ServiceEngineered wood, laminate, vinyl plank, tiles and carpet made ready.
ServiceFilling, sanding, caulking and cutting in, then two coats properly laid on.
