What Lewes Homeowners Say About Our House Extension Specialists
Brick-faced single-storey extension on our 1950s pebbledash semi in Lewes. Added 28m² of open-plan kitchen-diner with bi-fold doors and a roof lantern. Came in £4230 under quote thanks to a simpler foundation. Insurance copy of structural certificate filed with the deeds.
Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Lewes job. Chose on the strength of seeing a finished extension in the next street. Steel goalpost frame craned in on day 8, then fixed within 24 hours. Came in at £133170 fitted including site clean and hand-back. Snags fully closed within 21 days of handover.
Two years on, the lantern roof is still pristine - no water staining at all. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Lewes reused the original chimney as a feature inside the new space - clever bit of design. Total £70380. Insurance copy of structural cert filed with the deeds.
