Extensions
We design and construct bespoke extensions to enhance residential and commercial properties. Our process includes detailed planning, minimising disruption during build phases, and ensuring compliance with local regulations. Clients benefit from seamless integration with existing structures and high-quality finishes.
Wet Rooms
Specialist wet room conversions create level-access shower facilities for improved mobility. We incorporate pumped drainage where needed, anti-slip flooring, and safety grab rails. Projects prioritise both functionality and aesthetic appeal for domestic and care sector clients.
Roofing
Comprehensive roofing services cover pitched and flat roofs, including repairs, replacements, and insulation upgrades. We use durable materials and modern techniques to ensure long-term weatherproofing while maintaining architectural integrity for listed buildings.
Concrete Repairs
We restore damaged concrete elements using traditional methods and lightweight mortars. Services include spalling repair, reinforcing bar protection, and structural strengthening for residential and commercial properties, extending the lifespan of building components.
Drone Surveys
Our CAA-compliant drone surveys provide detailed property condition assessments. Using 4K video and high-resolution imagery, we identify roof and structural issues, offering repair cost estimates. Survey data is delivered digitally within 48 hours of inspection.
