What we offer
House extensions built to last
Need more space without the upheaval of moving house? Our house extensions in Essex give you the extra room you need, from a bright kitchen-diner extension to a full double-storey addition, without compromising on the character of your home.
Every house extension we build in Essex starts with a proper site survey and design conversation, so the finished space works for how you actually live — not just how it looks on paper.
We manage the whole process in-house, including our own accredited electricians and plumbers, so there's no chasing separate trades or gaps between handovers.
Why choose us for house extensions in Essex
With over 20 years of experience, we've built house extensions across Colchester and the wider Essex area, from Victorian terraces needing a rear kitchen extension to modern estate homes adding a double-storey side return.
We handle every stage: foundations, brickwork, roofing, windows and doors, first and second fix electrics and plumbing, plastering and decoration — coordinated by one team so nothing falls between the cracks.
We also liaise with building control on your behalf, making sure your extension meets current building regulations and is signed off correctly, giving you peace of mind for the future — including if you come to sell.
