A house extension adds the space your family needs without the expense and disruption of moving. We design and build single storey, double storey, side return, and wrap-around extensions across Medway, managing every stage from design and planning through to construction and handover. Our team handles all trades — groundwork, brickwork, steelwork, roofing, plastering, electrics, and plumbing — giving you one point of contact throughout. Whether it’s a kitchen-diner in Gillingham or additional bedrooms in Walderslade, we build extensions that complement your existing home and add lasting value.
Transform unused roof space into a master bedroom, home office, or additional bathroom without extending your footprint or losing garden. We carry out Velux, rear dormer, and hip-to-gable conversions across Medway, handling structural steelwork, floor strengthening, insulation, staircase installation, electrics, plumbing, and finishing. Most conversions proceed under permitted development without a planning application. We manage the full project from structural assessment to final decoration, delivering a finished room that adds genuine living space and measurable value to your Medway property.
Your kitchen works harder than any other room, and a well-planned renovation transforms how you use it every day. We carry out complete kitchen projects across Medway, handling strip-out, structural modifications, plastering, plumbing, electrical installations, tiling, flooring, and precision fitting. We install kitchens from any supplier and coordinate every trade in sequence so the project flows without delays. From dated galley kitchens in Chatham to full open-plan ground floor transformations in Rochester, we deliver kitchens built to last.
A professionally fitted bathroom makes a genuine difference to daily life. We carry out complete bathroom renovations across Medway, managing everything from stripping out old sanitaryware through to plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, electrics, and finishing. Our service covers suite replacements, full redesigns with layout changes, wet room conversions, and new ensuite creations. Quality plumbing and proper waterproofing behind the tiles determine whether your bathroom still looks perfect in five years or develops problems within months. We get those fundamentals right every time.
If your garage stores everything except a car, converting it into a habitable room makes practical and financial sense. We transform integral and attached garages across Medway into bedrooms, home offices, playrooms, gyms, and self-contained annexes. The work covers structural modifications to the front opening, insulation, damp proofing, flooring, electrics, heating, plastering, and complete finishing. The existing structure keeps costs well below a new-build extension while delivering a fully functional room. Most conversions complete within three to four weeks with minimal household disruption.
A purpose-built garden room provides dedicated space for working, exercising, creating, or relaxing without touching your main house. We construct bespoke insulated garden rooms across Medway with quality cladding, high-specification glazing, built-in heating, and professional electrical installations. Every room is designed for comfortable year-round use with proper insulation and services from the start. Most proceed under permitted development without a planning application. From compact home offices to larger multi-purpose spaces, we build garden rooms around how you’ll actually use them.
Whether you’re refreshing a single room or transforming an entire property, renovation work demands a builder who coordinates every trade and manages the full picture. We carry out renovations across Medway covering structural alterations, layout changes, new kitchens and bathrooms, rewiring, replumbing, plastering, flooring, and decoration. Older properties across Gillingham, Rochester, and Chatham regularly present hidden challenges once work begins, and our experience across Medway’s varied housing stock means we handle them efficiently rather than letting them derail the programme. One team from strip-out to handover.
Day rates for experienced builders across the Medway Towns typically range from £180 to £280 depending on the type of work and skills required. However, most projects are quoted as a fixed price rather than a day rate, which gives you cost certainty and places the risk of overruns with us rather than you. Our quotes are detailed and itemised so you can see exactly what you’re paying for before any work starts. The most accurate way to get a price for your specific project is to arrange a free site visit so we can assess what’s involved and provide a tailored quote.
It depends on the type and scale of work. Many common projects fall within permitted development rights, meaning no planning application is needed. Single storey rear extensions up to three metres for attached houses or four metres for detached properties, most loft conversions, garage conversions, and garden rooms typically proceed without planning permission. Double storey extensions, larger single storey extensions, side extensions in certain locations, and work on listed buildings or in conservation areas usually require an application. Rochester’s historic centre has conservation area designations that add planning sensitivity. We assess the planning position for every project at the outset and advise you clearly before any design work progresses.
Timescales vary with the type and scale of work. A garage conversion typically takes three to four weeks. A single storey rear extension usually takes eight to twelve weeks from breaking ground. A double storey extension takes twelve to sixteen weeks. A loft conversion takes six to eight weeks. A full house renovation can take three to six months depending on scope. A garden room typically takes two to four weeks. These are build timescales — if planning permission is needed, add eight to twelve weeks for the application process. We provide a clear programme before work starts so you know what to expect at every stage.
Our quotes are detailed and itemised, specifying materials, labour, skip hire, scaffolding where needed, building control fees, and any provisional allowances for items that cannot be confirmed until work is underway. We clearly identify what’s included and what isn’t, so there are no grey areas. If your project involves trades like electrics or plumbing, these are itemised separately so you can see the cost of each element. We don’t provide vague estimates that leave room for interpretation — our quotes are fixed prices for a defined scope of work, and what we quote is what you pay unless you change the specification.
Yes. Where planning permission is needed, we coordinate the design and application process either through our own drawings or working with an architect depending on the project’s complexity. We handle all communication with Medway Council and manage the process on your behalf. For Building Regulations, we arrange approval through a full plans application or building notice and coordinate all inspections during the build. On completion, you receive all relevant certificates and documentation including the completion certificate from building control, which you’ll need for future property sales and insurance purposes.
For most projects, no. Extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, and garden rooms are all built while you live in the house. The most disruptive phase is typically when internal walls come down or when the kitchen is temporarily out of action during a renovation. We plan the work to minimise disruption and always let you know in advance when the noisier or messier stages are coming so you can prepare. For comprehensive whole-house renovations where every room is being stripped and rebuilt simultaneously, some homeowners choose to move out temporarily, but this is the exception rather than the norm.
We agree a payment schedule before work starts, with payments staged against completed milestones rather than loaded at the front. A typical schedule includes a deposit on commencement, a payment at foundation completion, another at watertight stage, and a final payment on completion. We never request large sums before work has visibly progressed. Each payment is tied to verifiable progress you can see and inspect. We accept bank transfer and are happy to discuss alternative arrangements for larger projects where needed. The payment structure is agreed in writing before work begins so both sides know exactly what to expect.

Our regular coverage includes Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Strood, Rainham, Walderslade, Lordswood, Wigmore, Hempstead, Parkwood, Twydall, Borstal, Cuxton, Halling, Snodland, and Aylesford.
