An extension is where building and roofing meet. Whether it has a pitched tiled roof, a flat roof with roof lights or a hipped roof matching the house, getting the junction with the existing building right is vital.
Projects that may need planning permission, building regulations approval or structural design are assessed first. We coordinate with appropriately qualified designers and approval bodies where required rather than claiming those qualifications ourselves.

House extensions: common questions
Do I need planning permission?
Some extensions fall under permitted development; others need planning permission. Check with your local planning authority. Building regulations usually apply either way.
Do you design extensions?
We work with drawings from appropriate designers and can coordinate with them; we don't claim to be architects or structural engineers.
Can you match the existing roof tiles?
We aim to match tiles and details so the extension sits naturally with the house.
