What we do
Every service we offer
Where to start
Not sure which one you need?
Most people come to us with a problem rather than a service. Roughly, this is what solves what.
Most jobs turn out to be more than one of these. An extension needs a roof on it and usually a garden putting back. Tell us the problem and we will tell you what it takes.
- Another bedroom, without losing any garden - loft conversion
- More room downstairs, or more light - extension
- The house has had everything it can give - new build
- A roof that leaks, or one being altered - roofing
- A bathroom that does not work - bathrooms
- Outside space finished to the same standard as the house - landscaping
Common questions
Questions people ask before they start
We are a Wirral based building company working out of Birkenhead, covering the Wirral peninsula and the surrounding area.
We specialise in new builds, extensions and loft conversions, and we also fit bathrooms, carry out roofing work and take on garden landscaping - providing the full construction package from groundworks through to final finishes.
Not always. Many single storey extensions fall under permitted development rights, which means full planning permission is not required - though there are limits on depth, height and how much of the garden you can build on. Rules are tighter on flats, listed buildings and in conservation areas. It is worth confirming with Wirral Council before you commit, and applying for a lawful development certificate so you have proof in writing.
Yes. Every loft conversion needs Building Regulations approval regardless of whether planning permission is required. The regulations cover the new floor structure, fire safety and escape routes, insulation, ventilation and the geometry of the staircase.
