What renovation and extension work do we do in Barnsley?
Full refurbishments, single storey extensions, annexes, garden rooms and structural alterations. We take houses back to brick and put them together again, including the steels, the new openings and the parts that need signing off by Building Control.
The difference with us is where the job starts. On most extensions the builder brings in a groundworker to dig the footings, then waits for them. Ours are dug by our own team, the same people who put in foundations and drainage on commercial sites, so the start of your job is in our diary, not somebody else's. Liam brings 17 years in the trade to every one of them.
Do you need planning permission for an extension in Barnsley?
Often not, but Building Regulations nearly always apply, and the two are easily confused. Planning is about what the extension looks like and how it affects the neighbours. Building Regulations are about whether it is built safely: foundations, structure, insulation, drainage and fire safety. These are the general rules in England. Your council has the final say on planning, and we will tell you which route your job is on before you spend anything.
What is it like having us in your house?
A renovation is disruptive however well it is run, so we keep the parts we control predictable. You get an itemised written price, so you can see what is materials and what is labour. We agree a start date and tell you how long the job will take, and if the weather or a supplier moves it, you hear it from us. The house is swept and cleared each evening, not left in a mess until the last day. Payments are in stages tied to work you can see, with no large deposit up front and the last payment after you have looked round and you are happy.

Finishing the rooms, not just the structure
An extension is only half done when the roof is on. We carry on through the fit-out, with kitchens, bathrooms and fitted joinery such as media walls and alcove units, and on fit-out every trade is ours or somebody we have worked with for years. Outside, the patio beyond new bifold doors or the drive at the front can be part of the same job.
