Services
Loft conversions
We transform unused loft spaces into functional rooms while maintaining structural integrity. Our conversions maximise headroom and incorporate energy-efficient insulation. Projects include dormer extensions, hip-to-gable conversions, and internal staircases, all completed with minimal disruption through external access methods.
Timber frame construction
Our timber frame solutions combine traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering. We create load-bearing walls, garden rooms, and commercial buildings using sustainably sourced wood. The post-and-beam system allows flexible design options while achieving excellent thermal performance and structural durability.
Dormer windows
We install custom dormer windows to increase headroom and natural light in loft conversions. Our designs maintain architectural harmony while improving ventilation and energy efficiency. Projects include front, rear, and side-facing dormers tailored to planning regulations and building standards.
Roof construction
Our roof specialists handle complete replacements and structural modifications. Services include truss removal, ridge height adjustments, and hip-to-pitched conversions. We ensure watertight integrity using modern membrane systems while creating additional usable space within the roof structure.
Extensions
We build seamless property extensions using timber frame and traditional methods. Projects range from kitchen-diners to multi-room additions, incorporating energy-efficient insulation and matching existing architectural styles. Our process includes planning applications and building regulation compliance.
