Lewes has a heavily conservation-controlled centre with a high concentration of period and listed property. In practice most enquiries here are for sympathetic extensions, with work right across Brighton and Sussex from our base in Brighton.
Adding space to an existing home is harder than building from scratch.
Knocking two rooms into one, opening up the back of the house, or taking out a chimney breast all rest on getting the structure right.
Whether it is a new garden wall, a lintel replacement, or matching brick on an extension, neat brickwork is the difference between a job that looks built-in and one that looks bolted-on.
A garden room is the simplest way to add a proper office, gym or studio without the upheaval of an extension.
A conservatory should feel like part of the house, not an afterthought stuck on the back.
A flat, cleanly finished wall is the last thing you notice and the first thing you would if it went wrong.
A new bathroom or extension is only as good as the pipework and heating behind the walls.
Porcelain, sandstone or block paving, a patio or driveway is only as good as the base under it.
Every solid build starts below ground.
