Extensions and Garages That Add Space, Value, and Functionality

Expanding your home with an extension or garage is a great method to create more space without the hassle of moving. Whether you need a larger kitchen, an extra bedroom, a home office, or a secure place to park your car, I provide bespoke brickwork tailored to your exact needs.

Why Choose an Extension or Garage?

A professionally built extension or garage offers several benefits:

More Living Space

Perfect for growing families or creating dedicated areas like home offices or playrooms.

  • Adding insulation and waterproofing to keep your space warm and protected from the elements.

  1. Bringing Your Extension or Garage to Life

As the structure takes shape, I’ll focus on the finer details:

  • Ensuring perfect brickwork and pointing for a seamless finish.

  • Working alongside other trades if needed, such as roofers or electricians.

  • Keeping the site tidy and disruption to a minimum.

  1. Final Touches and Completion

Once the main work is done, I’ll ensure everything is finished to the highest standard. Before I sign off on the project, I will:

  • Do a full walkthrough with you to ensure you're happy.

  • Answer any questions about care and maintenance.

  • Leave your property clean and tidy, ready for you to enjoy your new space.
