Great to see this project open! We supported Roy with the design layout and planning approval for the new fish & chip restaurant on Seaway Road, Paignton — wishing the team every success 👏

It’s been a busy year with some fantastic residential, commercial, and development projects, so the social media and website side has taken a back seat — but a brand-new website with an updated portfolio and blog is coming very soon!

When it comes to adding both new space and value to your home, no project does it better than the loft conversion. However, finding the headroom and space to make this happen can be a challenge for a lot of UK homes.

For this reason, you might be considering a dormer, which is a box-shaped structure that is added onto a pitched roof, creating walls that sit at a 90-degree angle to the floor. This addition is fantastic for adding new space, but many homeowners worry about their dormer becoming an eyesore.

No one wants an ugly box stuck to the top of their roof!

To stop your conversion from becoming the ugly duckling of the street, here are some tips on creating a design that is both practical and attractive:

1. Bigger isn't always better.
2. Work with existing features.
3. Maximise your glazing.
4. Work with the best professionals.

We recently gained approval for a wrap-around extension in Torbay.

The clients wanted to expand the rear of their property and create a large kitchen/dining area that could be used by the family, along with a sociable environment for friends to visit and be entertained. In order to achieve this, we decided to create a wraparound extension, one that expands the space from both the rear and the side.

To tie everything together with the home’s fantastic outdoor space, we added large sliding glass doors. Allowing any occupant to move seamlessly from kitchen to garden, especially in those summer months.
