Builder & Groundworks Contractorin NorwichOwner-managed extensions, groundworks and conversions
Norwich is around 50 minutes from our East Winch yard, well within our regular working area. We take on extensions, groundworks packages and full conversions across Greater Norwich, priced honestly and finished cleanly.
A local builder,
not a passing van.
Norwich is a properly mixed city, medieval streets around the Cathedral and Elm Hill, Georgian and Victorian terraces from Thorpe Hamlet and Golden Triangle to Heigham, interwar semis stretching out along Earlham and Sprowston roads, and modern estates ringing the outer edges. That variety is exactly why one-size-fits-all quoting doesn't work in Norwich, every project needs a survey by someone who understands what's actually going to come out of the wall when they open it up.
We cover Norwich city and the surrounding NR postcodes, the Golden Triangle, Thorpe St Andrew, Sprowston, Hellesdon, Costessey, Cringleford, Eaton, Cringleford, Trowse and the immediate villages within Greater Norwich.
Site surveys in Norwich are typically booked within 7 days of your call. We travel from East Winch, factor in a genuine 50-minute drive rather than pretending it's 20. Written quote follows within 3 working days.

actually pick us.
Norwich is regular ground for us
It's a 50-minute drive we do routinely. Our work in Norwich runs like our work in King's Lynn, same team, same standards, same paperwork.
Experienced with mixed-period stock
Norwich stock ranges from medieval to modern. We've worked on all of it, which means fewer surprises when we open a wall or dig a foundation.
Conservation-area awareness
Parts of central Norwich, the Cathedral Close and the Golden Triangle sit in conservation areas. We plan and price to respect those constraints.
Structural work handled in-house
Knock-throughs, RSJ installation and chimney breast removal, the classic Victorian terrace reconfigurations Norwich buyers ask for: are bread-and-butter for us.
Fixed written pricing
Every Norwich quote is itemised and fixed in writing before we start. Variations are only ever agreed in writing.
Same warranties, wherever we work
£1M public liability, 10-year structural warranty on extensions, 2-year workmanship guarantee on garage conversions, Norwich or anywhere else.
What we see
on Norwich properties.
Norwich stock throws up predictable issues that a general 'quote off the plans' contractor tends to underprice. We survey properly and factor them in before contract, not after.
Solid-wall Victorian terraces
Golden Triangle and Thorpe Hamlet terraces are often solid brick with no cavity, extension detailing at the junction between old solid wall and new cavity build needs cavity trays and thermal breaks planned in from day one.
Chimney breasts on party walls
Terraced Norwich houses have back-to-back chimney breasts on party walls. Removal on one side has to consider the neighbour's stack support, engineering, not eyeballing.
Shared drainage runs
Older Norwich streets have shared foul drainage running through back gardens. Any extension foundation or new manhole needs to respect the run and, in some cases, agree diversion with the neighbours.
Conservation-area brickwork
Norfolk red brick in the older Norwich areas has to be matched carefully. Cheap 'modern red' bricks read as an obvious patch and hurt sale value.
Three steps.
