Extensions

Extensions

Are you thinking about adding more space to an elevation of your property? Extensions can be a great answer. Covering all trades in house including any structural work, we can offer a 'turnkey' solution or simply build the shell for you, leaving it ready for your personal touches like flooring and decorations.

Loft and Garage Conversions

Where extensions are not practical, another great way to maximise unused space is to convert any that's unused; in an age where more and more people are working from home and need office space or for families that are growing quickly, a garage or loft conversion is a great way to meet those demands without having to think about moving to a larger property.


Helpful Advice and Thoughts to Other Considerations Before Extensions and Conversion Works

In almost all cases for extensions, garage and loft conversions (including permitted development) your project will require planning drawings. Latterly, when planning approval is granted, fully detailed drawings for submission to Building Control, who will take particular interest in areas such as drainage, insulation, electrical and structural installations, will be a required. Once examined building control will report to you and your designer (architect/surveyor) commenting on specifics they may want to see changed in order to pass them so.

Once full drawings are in hand it's a great time to approach us so we can price the project more accurately for you. We always recommend starting out by enlisting the services of an architect or designer surveyor as it will ensure you get comparative estimates for the work, saving you time in the long run (at too early a stage, you could end out with wildly disparate estimates for levels of work that may differ) and quite often, architects will offer a free initial consultation so, this will help you make informed decisions at an early stage, too.

 

What Our Clients Say

Following the completion of the building of the new garage and kitchen extension at our home, I write to say how pleased we are with the results.

I would not hesitate to recommend B E M in the future to anyone considering a building project.

Your team from the beginning, showed a very professional approach, the estimate was detailed and concise, your site staff from all the trades were very polite and conscientious, and despite the major effect on the whole back of the house, tried to keep disruption to a minimum and always cleaned up at the end of the day.

So a very many thanks, from both of us, for a job well done, completed on time and to budget.

I am really glad that I chose BEM Builders to convert my double garage into a lounge, kitchen/diner, toilet, with staircase and landing to the existing single and double bedroom/bathroom above. Their competence on site and office management were evident from the start. James the boss or Stuart the Projects Manager attended the site at least once daily, kept me regularly informed and were accessible to me and the team by phone, email or in person all the way through the project. At least one or all of their team were on site each full working day and arrived promptly, even staying on if necessary to complete the task. As the work was being carried out in my home, the most important thing for me was that I found all the team to be polite, courteous , friendly and trustworthy. Each man was dedicated and highly skilled at his work and their workmanship was impeccable, leaving the site clean and tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is considering using them as a building company.

The team at B.E.M. converted my bathroom into a wet room. The work is finished to an excellent standard and we are delighted with the bathroom. Stuart is very approachable and the construction team have all been on-time, polite, friendly, tidy, professional and efficient. We were kept informed of progress each day and the project was completed as scheduled and promised. We cannot recommend B.E.M. more highly. Thank you so much!
