“We are a home extension specialist company. No matter how big or small your project is, our approach is always the same: focused, professional and with true attention to detail.”

Ian does the footings, the brickwork, the steels and the roof with his own team, and brings in plumbers, electricians and plasterers he trusts for each stage. His site boards call it the complete home extension company: one point of contact from the first visit to the last paving slab.

Ian Warren“I pride myself on delivering projects on time and to budget.”

Footings: Trenches dug and measured before the concrete goes in. Brickwork: Brick and block walls up beside the existing conservatory. Steels and openings: Props, steels and the frame for the new bifold doors. Rooflights and plaster: Rooflights in, walls plastered, pendant lights hung. The kitchen: The finished kitchen under the rooflights, garden through the new doors. From the garden: The extension from the lawn, its brick matched to the house.
