Our team specialise in renovations, extensions and conversions and because of this our recommended architects, designers, suppliers and trades people are all specialists in their respective jobs.
Completion dates are worked out before the job begins. Our tailored project management systems and full-time onsite project managers, mean our jobs run smoothly and efficiently. Our subcontractors turn up on time, materials arrive when they are meant to and all work is properly planned for a timely completion.
Our estimating process mean you will not experience costly over-runs. We provide you with a competitive estimate which you can then choose to complete on a fixed price contract, or cost plus margin contract, depending on the circumstances. All extras and variations are processed separately after consultation with you, in a fully transparent online system. We also ensure that during the design phase your expectations are met by designing a project that fits your budget.
We use a 97 point quality assurance checklist to ensure each building project it completed to our high standards of workmanship. To further guarantee this quality, we have ample references from previous clients as to the quality work they have received from us.
At the start of your job you will be assigned a full time site manager and a project manager, so you always have a point of contact. Clients are kept up to date regularly on our online software to ensure you are included on every step of your building project.
Our team of builders have decades of building experience between them. We have chosen to be renovation experts because the process of renovating your home is very different to new build homes and our systems and processes are custom designed to suit the renovation industry. This way you know that we specialise in what we do.

MARKET LEADING TECHNOLOGY
As renovations need detailed management, our comprehensive project management system allows you to see your daily job updates, approve design concepts and materials, request changes if needed, provide feedback / ideas and see where we are with timeline and budget.
ONE POINT OF CONTACT
Trades people, designers, and planners all speak different languages. Our project manager is someone who can act as your ‘interpreter’ throughout your renovation. They will explain what’s involved, what you should expect, and the pros and cons of different decisions.
Site Management
A Xtend Homes Project Manager is on site daily to ensure the day-to-day quality of construction works
Our Project Manager will be part of your project from the beginning to oversee the quality of our work throughout the build. We have Project Management processes in place that involve the detailed definition of a Project Plan, followed up by site visits and engagement with the yourself throughout the build process. This ensures that every project can be delivered within the agreed budget, whilst retaining the flexibility to allow you to make changes to the detail of the renovation should you need to.

Xtend Homes offers our clients a comprehensive guarantee for the quality of all work undertaken.
Specifically, this includes a 10-year guarantee for any structural defect and 10-year delta membrane waterproofing cover.
Structural Planning
We are your local Design & Build team – With experienced Designers, Engineers & Architects at hand safety standards are not just met but exceeded
Xtend Homes employs experienced civil and structural engineers whose job it is to ensure adherence to all relevant safety standards during the build project. Our engineers will begin by conducting a comprehensive structural review of your property, itemising any reinforcement measures that will need to be carried out.
We will also supply the necessary expertise in Party Wall issues and can manage the process of any required consultation with owners of neighbouring properties, in order to avoid any collateral structural impacts. The Party Wall Act serves to both enable home owners to carry out work on party walls, even if this involves the full thickness of the wall, whilst still protecting neighbouring property owners from suffering any loss as a consequence. The Act includes a requirement for individuals to provide neighbours with prior notification of work, in order to minimise disputes later. In the event of any dispute relating to proposed work on one of our projects, our surveyor will intervene and aid to decide upon how and when the work should be carried out.
Planning Permission
With our extensive experience of construction and renovation work in London, we are familiar with local planning law and Building Control regulations. We are also well accustomed to the nature of properties in this area, and so can ensure that any changes we make to your property are appropriate and acceptable to the local context.
We at Xtend Homes can also take responsibility for the process of obtaining the required planning permission for your project, and so relieve you of any stress relating to this process. Our team adhere to proven project management best practices and industry leading technology, to ensure that we produce the desired outcome, and communicate progress to you throughout the process.
"I had been putting off the difficult decision of how best to extend the side of my house for some time but Chet’s advice and tips gave me the confidence to go ahead with a final design. When it came to completing the work I found Xtend Homes completely very thorugh and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody. I am delighted with the finished work which has significantly improved the kerb appeal of my home."
They work quickly and efficiently but with an attention to detail – My en-suite side extension looks amazing - Chet has the rare combination of being able to buy materials efficiently as well as project manage effectively.
"Chet and his team were great and we have no hesitation in recommending them. Our garage conversion came in on budget and completed on time with a very small snagging list which was very promptly dealt with. The teams brick work has attracted great interest and much praise. All the guys were energetic, friendly and helpful. They worked hard and as the inevitable build issues arose, provided extremely helpful advice which meant a stress-free project. Great stuff and we’d definitely use them on another project"
