Our Services

House Extensions

House extensions add the space a family needs without the cost of moving. Single storey rear, side return and two storey builds each suit different plots. We handle drawings, building control and the build itself. The house extensions page explains how the stages fit together.

Full House Renovations

Full house renovations put a tired property back into use. Wiring, plumbing, plaster, joinery and decorating happen in a set order so nothing gets ripped out twice. We work to a written programme. The full house renovations page sets out what to expect week by week.

Bathroom Renovations

Bathroom renovations are the smallest room and often the trickiest, because plumbing, tiling, waterproofing and electrics all meet in a few square metres. We strip back, fix what is hidden, then rebuild. See the bathroom renovations page for how long a typical fit takes.

Loft Conversions

Loft conversions turn dead storage into a proper room. Head height, floor strength and stair position decide what is possible, so we check those first. Dormers and rooflights suit different roofs. The loft conversions page explains what makes a loft suitable.

Structural Steel Installation

Structural steel installation is what lets you remove a wall and keep the house standing. Sizes come from a structural engineer, then we prop, cut, seat the beam on padstones and case it in. The structural steel installation page covers the checks involved.

Building Project Management

Building project management means one person books the trades, orders materials and keeps the job to a programme. It saves you chasing five phone numbers. We do this on our own builds and for clients running their own. More on the building project management page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Hove?

Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but size, height and distance to the boundary all matter, and rules differ in conservation areas. We check the position of your property before drawings start, and we deal with Brighton and Hove City Council on your behalf.

How long does a construction project take in Hove?

A bathroom renovation is usually two to three weeks. A loft conversion runs around eight to ten weeks. A single storey extension is typically twelve to sixteen. Weather, inspections and material lead times shift these, so we give you a written programme and update it as the job moves.

Can I live in the house during the building work?

Usually yes for an extension or a loft conversion, because most of the work happens outside the existing rooms. A full house renovation is harder to live through, since services get switched off. We can phase the job room by room if you need to stay put.
