Home Extensions in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire

There's a big difference between a builder who can put up walls and a team that understands the finer details of how a house fits together. Because our roots are firmly planted in master carpentry, we bring an eye for detail to every extension project that general contractors often miss. It’s the difference between a door that shuts perfectly and one that sticks, or skirting boards that flow seamlessly around your new open-plan living area. We handle the heavy lifting—the groundworks, the structural steels, and the brickwork—but we really shine when it comes to the 'second fix'. This is where we install the bespoke joinery and finishing touches that turn a basic structural work into a warm, inviting home. We don't just build boxes; we craft spaces.

Most homeowners we speak to in Winchcombe and Tewkesbury are looking for that elusive 'heart of the home'. Usually, that means a bright, airy kitchen extension with bifold doors that open out onto the garden and perhaps a lantern roof to flood the space with natural light. Whether you're dreaming of a side-return extension to widen a narrow galley kitchen or a double-storey bedroom extension to accommodate a growing family, we’ve got you covered. We've spent years working on everything from modern builds to period stone cottages, so we know how to blend new materials with existing architecture. Imagine hosting your next Sunday roast in a space designed specifically for the way you cook and socialise—doesn't that sound better than trekking through house viewings every weekend?

Thinking about the red tape involved in a house extension can be enough to give anyone a headache. Do you need planning permission, or does your project fall under Permitted Development? If you're in one of Winchcombe's conservation areas or a Cotswold-stone property, the rules can be even tighter. As local builders, we're well-versed in the specific requirements of Tewkesbury Borough Council and Gloucestershire building control. We'll guide you through the process, ensuring everything from the RSJs to the insulation meets the latest energy-efficiency standards. We also understand the importance of Party Wall Agreements if you're extending a terraced or semi-detached property. Our goal is to take the paperwork off your plate so you can focus on choosing your tiles and paint colours.

One of the biggest worries people have when hiring building contractors is the thought of managing half a dozen different tradespeople.

From the first shovel in the ground for the foundations to the final bit of decorating, we're on-site making sure everything stays on track.
