There’s nothing better than getting to Friday and knowing you’ve accomplished a lot. This development is quickly taking shape and we can see just how big it’s going to be. Still a lot of work to be done, but we’re on a roll!Read more

Our next project is converting this chalet bungalow with a very large extension to form a two-storey house. The owners have decided to stay put while the works are being carried out. This exciting project will take several months and some careful calculations but that’s our specialism! If you want to extend up, contact usRead more

We’ve been busy working on a hotel conversion into flats. A very challenging project, with lots of tricky angles to work out, lots of dormers as well as internal fixes turning hotel rooms into luxury flats. Not quite finished but these properties are stunning, with fab views across Bournemouth – very pleased to have hadRead more

We’ve just completed this lovely garden building in the grounds of a detached property. Because of its size and structure, planning permission wasn’t required (we’d always recommend you check this for your area/development in advance).

When I needed to build a studio / workshop space inRead more

We’ve been working on some pretty big roof extensions, where people are extending up rather than moving house or losing ground space. These aren’t as daunting as they sound.  As long as you use experienced tradespeople, they will manage the job for you with minimum disruption.  From sorting out the scaffolding and covering to finalRead more

A recent project involved installing oak flooring to a concrete base, across a lounge/diner, with new door and frame. The customer had moved into a property that had been renovated to sell, which included a cheap carpet with no underlay!  This made our job slightly easier as we had a clear concrete base to workRead more

Latest review – another happy customer now ready for Christmas! Our latest review is from a local family who wanted new doors fitted into old frames.  This can be very tricky – frames warp and bend, and sometimes damp makes them expand or just crumble.  This house was built in the 1920’s so you canRead more
