Extensions

Experienced builder and carpenter with 40 years in the trade. Reliable service from start to finish.

Sometimes you just need more space. Maybe your family has grown, you want a bigger kitchen, or you need a ground-floor room for an elderly relative. Moving house is expensive and stressful, so a well-planned extension can be a much better option — giving you the space you need while adding real value to your home.
This is where my 40 years of building experience really comes into its own. An extension isn’t just carpentry — it involves groundwork, foundations, blockwork, roofing, plastering, electrics, plumbing, and all the finishing touches that bring it together. Because I’ve worked across every aspect of construction over the years, I understand how all these elements fit together. I can manage your project from start to finish, coordinating with trusted local tradespeople I’ve worked with for years to make sure everything runs smoothly.

I can help with single-storey rear extensions, side return extensions, two-storey extensions, wrap-around extensions, garage conversions, and orangeries and garden rooms.

I know an extension is a big decision, both financially and in terms of the disruption to your daily life. That’s why I put a lot of emphasis on clear communication. I’ll keep you informed every step of the way, let you know what’s happening and when, and give you as much notice as possible if anything changes. I treat your home with respect — I keep things as clean and tidy as I can, and I’m mindful of the fact that you’re living around the work.

If you’re thinking about extending your home, I’d be happy to come round and talk through what’s possible. I can advise on what might need planning permission, what could be done under permitted development, and give you a realistic idea of costs and timescales. No charge and no pressure — just honest advice.
