Most homeowners make expensive mistakes before they've even hired anyone. They buy the wrong house. They underestimate what an extension actually costs. They submit a planning application that was never going to get approved. They hire a builder before they have proper drawings in place. Every single one of these mistakes costs thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of pounds. The advice you need exists. You just need to know who to ask. That's exactly why I created this.
Buying the wrong house is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make. That property with potential might have planning restrictions that mean you can never extend it. The loft you were planning to convert might not have enough head height. The open plan kitchen extension you've dreamed about might face a planning refusal before it even starts. Without expert eyes on it beforehand, you won't know until it's too late and you've already exchanged contracts. Extensions and renovations are no different. Homeowners across the UK start projects every single day without understanding the real costs, the planning process or the common pitfalls and they end up over budget, delayed, or with a builder who's disappeared halfway through the job. A 30 minute conversation with an expert before you spend a single penny could save you thousands. Possibly your entire budget.
This consultation is for you if any of these sound familiar:

After the call I'll send you a follow up summary email covering the key points we discussed so you have something to refer back to.
