The groundworker finishes, then nothing happens for three weeks. The bricklayer blames the roofer. The plasterer will not start until the glazing is in, and the glazing was measured wrong. Every gap in that chain costs you time and money. We take extensions start to finish: groundworks, brickwork, roof, glazing, plastering, painting, flooring and skirting. It is the same team of a team with 20 to 25+ years' experience each, working in sign-written vans and full uniform, and it is one number to ring when you have a question. Because we are a glazing and roofing business as well as a building one, the parts that normally go wrong at the interfaces (the doors into the garden, the lintel above them, the warm roof over the new space) are all designed and delivered by the same people. ### Kitchen and dining extensions The most common job: opening up the back of the house and putting a proper insulated roof and bi-folds on it. ### Extra living or bedroom space When moving house makes no sense but the family has outgrown the layout. ### Replacing a failed conservatory Where the base and frames are not worth building on, a proper extension is the better spend. ### Commercial premises We take on commercial work as well as domestic, quoted the same way. Recent installations ## Extensions we have fitted See more of our work What it costs to leave it ## The expensive part of an extension is not the build, it is the mess-ups An extension is the biggest single job most people ever have done to their house. When it goes badly it goes badly for months, in the middle of where you live, and the costs land in places nobody budgeted for. ### Programmes that drift by months Every trade that is not under one roof is another diary to coordinate. Weeks disappear between trades, not during them. ### Prices that climb after the deposit The industry standard is a keen price followed by extras. We fix the price and have never added money to a job once it has started. ### Details that fail at the joins Where the new roof meets the old wall, where the doors meet the threshold, where the new floor meets the old, that is where leaks and cold spots live. ### The mistakes we get called out to fix - Appointing separate trades and becoming the project manager by accident - Speccing glazing and doors last, after the openings are already built - Skimping on the roof insulation and ending up with a room that overheats - Choosing UPVC for very wide openings where aluminium is the right call - Not agreeing what 'finished' includes: plastering, painting, flooring and skirting - Accepting a lead time that was never realistic in the first place Case study ## Conservatory replaced with a warm-roof extension The old conservatory had become unusable. We took it down and built a proper brick extension in its place, finished with an insulated tiled roof, wide bi-fold doors onto the garden and a media wall that makes it the room everyone wants to sit in. - Old conservatory taken down and cleared - New brick-built extension in its place - Insulated tiled warm roof - Bi-fold doors opening onto the garden - Media wall with fire and lit display shelves "We wanted our unusable conservatory knocking down and replaced with a brick-built extension, with bifold doors and a media wall! … The room is extremely light and bright with the bifold doors and lighting. It's so peaceful. Every part of the build is insulated, the roof, floor and the walls which has made the area an extremely warm space. … Their workmanship and attention to detail is first class." Carol & Mick · Google review BeforeAfter Our process ## Five steps, the same on every job we take on Step 1 ### Inspection We visit, look at the property and what you want to achieve, and give you an honest verbal quote free of charge. Step 2 ### Survey and scope The full scope written down, groundworks through to flooring, with the glazing and roof specification set at the same time. With the full specification set out in writing at this stage. Step 3 ### Price agreed One clear price for the whole job, agreed in writing and never added to, with a realistic programme and a minimum 10-week lead time from order. Step 4 ### Build Groundworks, brickwork, roof, glazing, plastering, painting, flooring and skirting, carried out by our own team in sequence with no dead weeks. Step 5 ### Completion and guarantee We walk the finished job with you, clear the site properly, and register the glazing and installation work for the IWA insurance-backed guarantee. What you get ## The difference a properly fitted job makes ### One number, one accountability No triangulating between trades. If something needs sorting, it is our job to sort it, whichever part of the build it sits in. ### No dead weeks in the programme Sequencing is internal, so the next trade starts when the last one finishes rather than when a diary allows. ### Glazing designed in, not bolted on Bi-folds, windows and doors are specified alongside the structure by the same people who will fit them. ### A roof that performs As a Eurocell approved tile installer we build insulated warm roofs in-house, so the new room is comfortable year round. ### A price that does not move A survey, a clear written quote, and a price that never moves once work starts. ### Finished, not nearly finished Plastering, painting, flooring and skirting included in scope, so the room is ready to live in when we leave. In detail ## Every trade in the build, and how we sequence it Here is what start-to-finish actually covers on a Draycote extension, and where the decisions that matter get made. ### Groundworks and foundations The build starts below ground: excavation, foundations and the base that everything else depends on. Errors here are the only ones that genuinely cannot be corrected later. Drainage and levels are set at this stage against the finished floor level we have agreed with you, not improvised as the walls go up. ### Brickwork and structure Blockwork and brickwork are matched to the existing house as closely as the materials allow, with openings formed to the surveyed sizes of the glazing that has already been specified. Lintels and structural openings are set for the doors and windows that are actually being fitted, which is why the glazing decisions are made before the walls, not after. ### Roof We build insulated warm roofs in-house as a Eurocell approved tile installer, so the new space is not a hot box in summer and a cold box in winter. Abutment detailing to the existing house wall, flashings and eaves are handled by the same team that built the structure below them. ### Glazing and doors Eurocell and premium Rehau UPVC, and Smarts aluminium windows and bi-fold doors. Wide rear openings are usually aluminium for the slim sightlines and the strength. Everything is double glazed, with toughened glass where regulations require it and obscure glazing where privacy needs it. ### Internal finishing Plastering, painting, flooring and skirting are part of the scope. That is deliberate, an extension handed over as bare plaster is an extension you cannot use yet. Lighting positions and floor finishes are agreed early enough to be built in rather than worked around. ### What we do not do We do not work on listed or heritage properties. That is specialist work with its own consent process and we would rather say so before you pay a deposit. We do not offer finance and do not take credit cards. Payment is by cash or bank transfer, with a deposit that varies by the size and type of job. Rated 5.0 on Google “We couldn't be happier with the service from the entire team. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally.”Vicki Ridgewell “Really pleased with our new conservatory roof. The whole process from start to finish was very smooth. Pricing was clear and concise and the installation team were diligent, tidy and courteous at all times.”Paul Turner “The biggest test of a trader is how they respond when a job throws up challenges. Draycote Windows absolutely went the extra mile.”Kate Morris Questions we get asked ## Extensions: straight answers How much does an extension cost in your area?It varies enormously with size, ground conditions, roof type and specification, so we do not quote ranges over the phone. After a survey we give you a written quote, itemised and clear, before you decide anything. How long will my extension take?We give you a realistic programme at survey rather than an optimistic one to win the job. Lead time from order is a minimum of 10 weeks, and at busier times of year it can be longer, we will tell you that before you commit. Do you handle everything, or do I need other trades?We handle it start to finish: groundworks, brickwork, roof, glazing, plastering, painting, flooring and skirting, all with our own team. Can the price go up during the build?No. Our quotes are fixed and we have never added money to a job once it has started. What guarantee do I get?A insurance-backed guarantee through IWA covering the workmanship and frames. We are Assured registered and carry full public liability insurance. Do you deal with planning and building control?We will talk you through what your project needs at survey stage so you know exactly where you stand before you order anything. Can you match the brickwork to my house?We match as closely as available materials allow and will show you what that looks like before ordering rather than after the wall is up. Will I be able to live in the house during the work?In most cases yes. We plan the sequence to keep the house secure and weathertight, and the site is cleared down as we go rather than at the end. Do you build commercial extensions?Yes: we take on both domestic and commercial work, though we do not work on listed or heritage properties. How do I pay for an extension?Cash or bank transfer. No credit cards and no finance. The deposit depends on the size and type of job and is agreed in writing before work starts. ## Related services - Tiled Warm Roof Installation - Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors - Insulated Conservatory Roof Replacement - All services ## Where we work - Lichfield - Burntwood - Rugeley - Fradley - Tamworth - Sutton Coldfield - Shenstone - Little Aston - ArmitageWorking across Staffordshire and the surrounding areas.
