From demolition and groundwork to a finished home.

When an existing house is past saving, we can take it down and build again — groundwork, structure, roof and every finish inside.

  • Demolition and site clearance
  • Groundwork and foundations
  • Brickwork, block-and-beam floors and structural walls
  • Roofing and making the house weathertight
  • First and second fix, kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
Can you knock down a house and build a new one?
Yes. In Rainham we demolished a tired bungalow and built a new family home on the same plot: groundwork, block-and-beam floors, walls and roof, then the kitchen, bathrooms and finishes.
Does a replacement home need planning permission?
Yes. Replacing a house needs planning permission from your local council, and the new home is built to the Building Regulations. If you already have approved drawings, send them with your enquiry.
