FAQs

How are your houses different to others I have seen ?

We take an old house, completely gut it back to the original brickwork and start from scratch. Every wall, floor and ceiling is brand new. We add the highest grade insulation and double glazing throughout the house and extend the property to enable every bedroom to be large doubles. The new houses are incredibly energy efficient which saves alot of money on heating and utility bills and are extremely spacious inside.
