Another happy customer! 👌
See all photos for the transformation 🤩

Here’s a little project we’ve recently completed based on an idea our customer had. They couldn’t find a picture that quite showed what they wanted, so we created an AI visualisation to help bring their idea to life and make sure the design worked perfectly for the space available.

The main requirement was that the steps needed to be the correct height and practical to use, while not projecting too far out from the house, allowing the customer to keep as much of their garden space as possible.

While we had the digger on site, we also completed a shed base, installed the footings for the new steps, and dug out, hardcored and compacted an area ready for a future patio project.

The steps were carefully built to be wide enough for comfortable use and with a rise that makes them practical and safe for the whole family – including the dog! 🐾

The customer is delighted with the finished result and has already booked us in to return for a retaining wall and patio at a later date.

Thank you for your continued support. If you’re thinking about improving your outdoor space, get in touch for a free quote.

We have been a little bit quiet on here, due to having a wrist injury - however I am slowly getting back to it. Thank you to the customers who have been patient and understanding.

Not every day goes to plan 😅

Sometimes you get a blow down — it happens. The important part is how you deal with it. Clean it up, dust ourselves off, and get it built back up properly.

Rebuilt stronger and propped up heavy so it’s not going anywhere this time 😂🔨

Part of the job, part of the process — just keep moving forward.

Slowly but surely getting there with my own extension 👌😂

Both gables finally up to floor height, extractor fan vent fitted and the rest of the building work up to lintel height. Soldiers all in, cavity closers secured and then topped everything off to keep the insulation dry, before this lovely British weather decides otherwise 🌧️🤣

I had a proper clean up inside and around the extension too because apparently I can’t leave my own job looking untidy 😅

Safe to say I’ve earnt a sit down and a few beers this weekend 🍺💪

If anyone is thinking of getting an extention done or wanting any building work, please dont hesitate to drop me a message 👍🧱

Squared this Oxford up ready for 3rd lift 🔨

After NHBC came round with the tape and gave us a 6 on inspection, we thought we’d better behave ourselves 😅 Everything’s bang on — step trays all set properly for the low-level roof and ready for the lead to go in nice and tidy.

On to the next lift 👌

It’s the little details that make the difference 👌

We’re not afraid to take things down if it’s not right. This detail didn’t sit well with us from the drawing, so we reworked it — making sure it meets standard while also improving the overall look and finish.

Quality always comes first 🔨 No cutting corners, no settling — just doing it properly.

That’s the standard we stick to on every job.

Harrogate house style completed and ready for scaffold lift 👌

Another plot finished to a high standard — clean lines, sharp detail, and everything exactly where it should be. Fully prepped, a couple of missing formers that wasn’t on site but all other protection on, and the site left tidy and ready for the next stage.

Taking pride in getting it right before the scaffold comes down — because the finish always shows 🔨

On to the next one…

Last minute change of plans today 🚧☀️

Materials weren’t ready on one site, so we jumped straight onto another at short notice and made the most of it 💪

Got the other side toothed out up to joist level, finished off the section we didn’t have time for last visit, and set all the blockwork and window ready for brickwork 🔨

All done on a warm sunny day – can’t complain 👌
