โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Rear and side extension combined on our 1960s detached in Melksham. New oak Crittall-style steel doors as the threshold detail - looks expensive. Total ยฃ51300 across 12 weeks on site. CCTV drain survey done before any digging started, no surprises later.

Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Melksham job. Selected on availability rather than price - we needed to start before winter. Permitted Development route confirmed via a Lawful Development Certificate before any digging. ยฃ95400 for the lot, hard schedule held. Already booking them for the loft conversion next.

Six months later, no settlement cracks anywhere - foundations were clearly done right. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Melksham specced higher-grade glazing than we asked for - winter heating bills are noticeably lower. Total ยฃ78360. Working from home is so much better with the new dedicated space.
