Builders in Lewes

Lewes is a town we already work in: we poured the reinforced concrete base for a garden room here, the same base specification we use for the garden rooms we build ourselves. Bases are the part of a garden room most companies subcontract, and the part that decides whether the building is still sitting level in twenty years, so it is a good introduction to how we build.

The town itself is one of the most distinctive in Sussex, and one of the most demanding to build in. A large part of Lewes is conservation area, the High Street and the twittens around it carry listed Georgian and older timber framed buildings, and the whole town sits within the South Downs National Park, which brings its own planning regime. Alterations and extensions are assessed on materials and detailing, and flint, clay tile and lime mortar are part of the local vocabulary. None of that should put you off a project; it simply means the pricing has to reflect the correct materials and the consent process from day one, which is how we quote.

Away from the historic core, Wallands, the Nevill estate and South Malling are largely Victorian, Edwardian and twentieth century family housing where extensions, loft conversions and whole house refurbishments are the staple work. Gardens in Lewes are often long and private, which is why garden rooms do well here: offices, studios and gyms built to Building Regulations standard construction, insulated for year round use, on a proper concrete base.

Working in Lewes from Stonegate is a straightforward run for our team and our suppliers. The services that are realistic for us here are garden rooms, extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments, with kitchens and bathrooms handled as part of a wider refurbishment. Whole house refurbishments start from around £100k and extensions from around £75k.
