Our company set up allows us to offer a comprehensive Building service; we often undertake small repairs and minor works for regular customers; however we also regularly carry out full extensions, both single and double. We understand that many people are now looking to make the most of the space they have and we are always willing to help.
Although much of our work is in the Chichester area, due to recommendations we often travel further afield, having recently completed projects in Dorset, Kent and Surrey.
