What Croydon Homeowners Say About Our House Extension Specialists
Two-storey side extension on our Victorian terrace in Croydon. 40m² open-plan family room with sliding doors out to the garden. Came to £99420 for the lot. Permitted Development under the larger home extension scheme - no full planning application.
Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Croydon job. Picked the team that took the time to come back twice with revised drawings. Foreman walked the spec sheet through with us before any digger arrived. Came in £1515 under quote because the foundations were shallower than feared. Snagging list closed within 14 days of completion handover.
Eighteen months on, the bi-folds open every weekend and have not dropped on the runners once. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Croydon designed-in concealed downlights so the ceiling has no visible fittings. Total £86340. Already used them again for the loft.
