Concept noteExample projects and prices for a concept site. Real prices depend on the house, the access and the spec.
How a build runs
Five stages, and what you get at each one.
Survey
We look, measure and listen. You get a written, itemised price.
Start date
Agreed in writing before anything is ordered.
Every Friday
A short update with photos, what's done and what's next.
Stage payments
You pay as stages are finished, never all up front.
Sign-off
We walk round together and fix the snags before the last payment.
What you'll get every Friday
One short message at the end of each week, with photos: what's done, what's next and anything you need to decide.
Work we take on
Homes across Cardiff, Caerphilly, Pontypridd and the towns in between.
We don't do gas or electrical work.
Extensions
Single storey rear and side return extensions, from the footings and walls to the roof, doors and finishing.
Loft conversions
Dormer and roof light lofts, with the stairs up and a shower room if you want one.
Renovations
A whole house or a single floor: stripped out, put right and fitted out again.
Structural workknock-throughs, steels
Opening rooms up and putting in new steel beams, propped while the work is done and made good after.
Property maintenance
Roof, gutter and pointing repairs, and the smaller jobs that stop bigger ones.

Tell us what you're planning and roughly what you'd like to spend, with photos if you have them. We'll ring you back to arrange a survey.
Concept noteFfordd is made up, so that number will not ring anyone. The form works, so try it: nothing you type leaves your browser.
Before you build
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Not always. Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, which means they can go ahead without a planning application. Whether yours does depends on your house, so check with your council before anything is ordered. We can help you find out.
How do stage payments work?
You pay as each stage is finished, never all up front. The written price sets out the stages and what each one costs before we start, so you know what's due and when. The last payment comes after we've walked round together and the snags are fixed.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
For most extensions and lofts, yes. Most of the work happens outside or up in the roof until near the end, when we open up into the house. At the survey we'll tell you which weeks will be noisy or dusty, and when you might be without a kitchen or water, so you can plan round them. A full renovation can be different, and we'll say so before you decide.
