Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most. If yours isn’t here, just ask.
General
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes, our quotes are free and no-obligation. After discussing your project and visiting your property, we’ll give you an itemised quote before any work begins.
Which areas do you cover?
Liverpool, Merseyside and the surrounding areas. See the areas we cover, or get in touch if you’re unsure.
What types of building work do you do?
House, kitchen, two-storey and wrap-around extensions, loft and garage conversions, home renovations, structural alterations and shop refurbishments. See all our services.
How much experience do you have?
Over 30 years in domestic building and commercial refurbishment across Liverpool.
Will I have a single point of contact?
Yes. You will have one dedicated contact and regular updates throughout your project.
Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
Yes. Your home is protected while we work, and the site is left clean and tidy at the end of every day.
Planning, costs & timescales
Do I need planning permission?
Many single-storey extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions fall under permitted development, so full planning permission isn’t always needed (the Planning Portal explains the rules). We’ll check and advise before work starts.
Do you handle building regulations?
Yes. We manage the approval and inspections and provide the sign-off certificates. GOV.UK explains when approval is needed.
How long will my project take?
It depends on the size and type of project. As a guide: garage conversions take around 3 to 5 weeks, loft conversions 6 to 10 weeks and single-storey extensions 10 to 14 weeks. We agree a programme with you before work starts.
Can we stay in our home during the work?
Usually, yes. We plan the work to keep disruption to a minimum and will advise on the best approach for your project.
