Builders in Newham

We build extensions, loft conversions and full refurbishments across Newham. Our office is on High Street North in East Ham, so most of the borough is a ten minute drive and the team is on site by 8am.

What Newham homeowners ask us for

Most of Newham is Victorian and Edwardian terraces plus 1930s semis, with newer flats around Stratford and the Royal Docks. That housing mix decides what comes up:

• Rear extensions on terraces in East Ham, Manor Park and Forest Gate, usually 3 to 6 metres under permitted development.
• Loft conversions on the 1930s semis around Wanstead Flats and Little Ilford, mostly rear dormers with an en-suite.
• Full refurbishments on recently bought terraces needing a rewire, replumb and new kitchen before anyone moves in.
• Landlord and HMO work — Newham licenses property borough-wide, so fire doors, escape routes and compliance works come up constantly.

Newham building control and licensing

We submit the building control notice to Newham Council, book the inspections and meet the inspector on site so you do not have to take a day off work. If your extension goes past permitted development we will tell you at the site visit, before you have spent anything on drawings.

Newham was the first borough in the country to license every private rented property, and that licence carries conditions on fire safety, amenity and room sizes. If you are refurbishing a rental here, we build to those conditions from the start rather than retro-fitting them after an inspection.

Terraces mean party walls

Almost every extension in East Ham or Forest Gate touches a shared wall or digs near a boundary. We flag it at quote stage and tell you exactly which notices to serve and when, so your start date does not slip by two months.
