Services
House Extensions
We design and build custom house extensions including side returns, rear extensions, and roof conversions. Our solutions create additional living space, kitchens, or bedrooms while maintaining structural integrity. With expertise in navigating planning permissions, we deliver tailored extensions that enhance property value and meet individual client requirements.
Roofing
Our roofing services cover slating, tiling, leadwork, and flat roof installations. We specialise in repairs, refurbishments, and maintenance for traditional and modern roofing systems. With experience in storm damage restoration and guttering solutions, we ensure durable, weatherproof roofs that protect properties across Wigan and surrounding areas.
Brickwork
As specialist bricklayers, we provide precision bricklaying for new builds and restoration projects. Our expertise includes creating strong foundations and structural walls using traditional techniques. We also offer repointing services to restore aged brickwork, improving both aesthetics and durability while preserving each property's unique character.
Re-pointing
We revitalise weathered brickwork through comprehensive re-pointing services. Our process removes damaged mortar and applies fresh pointing to enhance structural integrity. This service protects against damp penetration while restoring the visual appeal of external walls, using techniques matched to each property's original construction specifications.

Our rapid response team addresses urgent roofing issues including storm damage and leaks. We perform temporary stabilisation and permanent repairs using quality materials. With expertise in all roof types, we minimise property damage and restore roof integrity while maintaining compliance with building regulations.

The guy's even came out late in the evening to cover the work as they thought it might rain. It's rare to find people who care. Thanks Joe & Gary.
