What Elgin Homeowners Say About Our House Extension Specialists
Two-storey side extension on our 1930s semi in Elgin. New floor finished with engineered oak running through to the original house. £84720 over 16 weeks, properly programmed. CIAT-registered architect on retainer for the planning drawings.
Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Elgin job. Picked the team that took the time to come back twice with revised drawings. CCTV drain survey on day one, no surprises with hidden services. Came in £1965 under quote because the foundations were shallower than feared. Building control sign-off straightforward, no comeback.
Eighteen months on, the bi-folds open every weekend and have not dropped on the runners once. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Elgin persuaded us into a wider opening to the original house - the flow is so much better. Total £73740. EPC went up two bands - the new envelope spec made a real difference.
