Can you work on the older houses common in Ribbleton?

Very much so. A lot of Ribbleton stock is older terraced and semi detached property, and we are used to solid walls, ageing brickwork and dated layouts. We work with what is there, use materials that suit the original build, and modernise sensibly without causing problems for the structure.

We can point you to a local architect and structural engineer for drawings and calculations, then build to those and deal with building control inspections on site. For many Ribbleton extensions and alterations we guide you through the process so you are not left sorting the paperwork alone.
