South London general contractor · Est. 2007

Most builders start digging. I read the drawings first.

20+ years running extensions, loft conversions and full refurbishments across South London. I catch the costly clashes between the architect, structural and services drawings before they ever reach your site — or your budget.

What I do

Residential building, run start to finish by one contractor.

Labour-only general contracting for South London homeowners. One point of contact from first drawing to final snag.

01

Extensions

Single & double-storey, side-return and wrap-around. Built to the structural engineer's spec, sequenced to keep the rest of the house liveable.

02

Loft & dormer conversions

New bedrooms, en-suites and offices in the roof. Steels, stairs, insulation and Building Control sign-off handled.

03

Full refurbishments

Whole-house and period-property renovations. Experienced with Victorian and Edwardian stock across London.

04

Structural works

Steel beams, chimney breast removals, load-bearing openings and knock-throughs — done to drawing, signed off properly.

05

Flooring & finishes

Herringbone and engineered floors, tiling and joinery. Moisture-tested and prepared so the finish lasts.

06

Project management

Coordinating trades, drawings and timelines so the job runs in the right order — and problems get solved before they cost you.

Why it matters

The mistakes that blow budgets happen on paper, not on site.

Architect, structural engineer and M&E drawings rarely agree with each other perfectly. Twenty years of reading them means I spot where they clash before anyone lifts a tool — the difference between a quote you can trust and a job full of expensive surprises.

  • 01

    Foresight

    I read across every drawing set and flag the clashes early — the wall that lands on a drain, the steel that fights the soil pipe.

  • 02

    Sequencing

    The right trades in the right order. Fewer standing-around days, no ripping out finished work to fix what was missed.

  • 03

    One point of contact

    You deal with me, not a chain of subcontractors passing blame. Straight answers, start to finish.

How it works

Straightforward, from first call to final snag.

01

Call & site visit

Tell me what you're planning. I'll come and look, talk through what's realistic, and understand what you actually want out of the space.

02

Clear quote & drawings check

You get a clear, itemised quote — and I read across the architect, structural and services drawings to flag the clashes before they cost you.

03

Build, one point of contact

I run the trades in the right order and keep you updated. You deal with me from start to finish — no chasing subcontractors.

FAQ

Questions homeowners usually ask.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. The first visit and quote are free and with no obligation — I'd rather we both know the job's right before anyone commits.

Which areas do you cover?

Croydon, Forest Hill, South Norwood, Morden, Penge, Tooting and the surrounding South & South-East London area. If you're nearby, get in touch and I'll let you know.

Are you insured?

Yes — fully insured with £1m public liability and £10m employers' liability cover.

Do you work from architect's and structural engineer's drawings?

Yes. I read across all the drawing sets — architectural, structural and services — and flag where they clash early. That's where most costly surprises start, and catching them on paper saves you money on site.

Do you handle Building Control and structural sign-off?

Yes. Steel beams, load-bearing openings and Building Control sign-off are all coordinated as part of the job, so you're not left managing it.

How long does an extension or loft conversion take?

It depends on the size and spec, but you'll get a realistic timeline in your quote — and I'll keep you posted if anything shifts along the way.
