We are now looking forward to the National Finals, as well as the new and exciting opportunities that the accolade will bring. With so many builders in the Cambridge area, how do you choose who is best? And what’s more with so many horror stories around how do you know who you can trust? Well, […]
This stunning kitchen was installed in to an extension that we did, and sits in a new space that was created by removing a wall between the existing kitchen and garage, which was in turn extended to create this amazing space. The kitchen features a walnut dining bench with many integrated appliances including a built […]
This kitchen required a modern upgrade and we delivered with gloss white units, a contrasting colour of tiling works and server contemporary design ideas in term of storage and appliances.
A 90’s galley kitchen was given an up to date revamp with this kitchen complete with glass splash backs and attractive floor tiling. The kitchen also boasts a number of integrated storage features which area an increasing trend as we aim to maximise storage space within kitchens.
This dated kitchen required a complete overhaul, including the removal of two wall to create one open plan dining, kitchen and utility area. Once the space was made we installed this contemporary gloss cream kitchen complete with an attractive island as a centre piece.
On this project we were set the challenge to refurbish an old and extremely poorly laid out kitchen into a functional family space. We did this by removing three walls which created old fashioned coal storage and pantry rooms to create a larger kitchen area. We then removed the existing wall between the kitchen and […]
This project involved removing a partition wall between the existing kitchen and dining room. Altering the layout of those rooms and installing this eye catching kitchen design which includes an effective seating and storage area, plus integrated appliances and a built in wine cooler. A real wood floor added the perfect finishing touch.
This project involved a complete overhaul of the kitchen including the plumbing and electrics. The clients wanted to create a fresh new kitchen while maintaining a style that was a sympathetic with the victorian age of the property. We did this by designing a bespoke kitchen that ticked all the boxes including a range cooker, […]
This extension literally doubled the size of the existing house. Planning restrictions meant that the extension needed to look separate to the house in some way, so pitched roof sections above the first floor windows and a slight step back from the original property were added but other than that the extension blended in perfectly […]
A bungalow in our local area was restricted by old outbuildings, a badly built conservatory and a kitchen that was housed in a poorly insulated extension. We demolished all of these area and built one large extension that incorporated a new bathroom, shower room, kitchen and utility room.
A large front extension created an extra two bedrooms, a shower room, an entrance hall and a study. The work was carried out with materials that matched the existing property so that the frontage remained in keeping with the rest of the estate.
This project actually compromised of three extensions to one property. The main two storey brick extension on the back created an extra bedroom upstairs and a dining room downstairs. A timber framed single storey on the back of that made from french oak and large glazed units created a stunning sun room that looked out […]
This is an example of what can be created when the space is available. A large walk in shower cubicle and mediterranean style tiling changed a cold and dull bathroom into a warm and inviting space.
Limited space posed a challenge on this project, but we made use of what was available by installing his and hers sinks above vanity units, with a back to wall toilet and shower cubicle which was created by using the space made by knocking through to an unused built in cupboard that was in the […]
This project was a delight to work on as the client wanted us to remove a poorly installed modern bathroom which was not in keeping with the age of their property, with something that fitted in with the period and style of the rest of the house. We did this by using brand new tiles […]
Sometimes just simply changing bathroom items can create an amazing transformation. On this project the size of the bathroom meant that the layout had to stay the same, but we swapped a date avocado coloured suite for a new white one, and re-tiled the whole room to create a fresh up to date looking bathroom.
Extending our homes has become ever more popular recently as people look to create the home they want without having to move. On this project we doubled the size of the house by adding a two storey extension to the side of the property and a single storey sun room to the rear. We used […]
On this project we sympathetically replaced the frontage of a 17th century property. The existing bay window structures (black and red timber as shown) were rotten and leaking but the clients were concerned that a new installation would take away from the character of the house. We consulted designed and installed this new frontage and the both […]

With new plasterwork and floor and wall tiling you can create a bright and functional space. Here aresome pictures […]
On this project we removed a modern looking bathroom and replaced it with a new one using traditional methods and sanitry ware to create a victorian styled room to match the character of the existing property.
Making the most of the land you have!! We knocked down a dilapidated outhouse and replaced it with this extension which doubled the size of the existing bungalow. A new kitchen, utility and bathrooms have created a whole new living area to the property.
From a weary lawn to an attractive and functional patio area with linked pathways in just a few days…………..
