About Our Leeds Service

## Local builders, working in Leeds every week

Leeds is one of our biggest growth areas. We're regularly on site in LS6 (Headingley), LS7 (Chapel Allerton), LS8 (Roundhay), LS17 (Alwoodley) and LS18 (Horsforth) — and the city's mix of red-brick back-to-backs, post-war semis and 1990s detached homes keeps the work interesting.

What we hear most from Leeds homeowners is frustration with builders who quote, start, and then disappear for two weeks at a time. We don't operate like that. Once your job is on the programme, our team is on site every working day until handover. One foreman, one point of contact.

Every Leeds project is fully managed by us: planning, building control, structural calcs, party wall notices, and the build itself. You don't need a separate project manager.

Why Choose Us in Leeds

## What makes us the right builders for Leeds

### Hip-to-gable loft specialists

Leeds semis are textbook hip-to-gable candidates. We've completed dozens — full structural sign-off, escape window detailing, fire-rated staircase and en-suite all in one programme.

### Back-to-back rear extensions

LS6 and LS4 back-to-backs need careful planning around shared yards and party walls. We've completed multiple rear extensions and basement digs in these streets and know exactly what Leeds City Council Building Control expects.

### Larger family-home projects

In LS17 and LS18 we frequently take on £100–250k whole-renovations — kitchen extensions combined with new bathrooms, rewires and full redecorations.

### Single point of contact

From first call to handover, you deal with the same person. Foreman is on site every day, owner is reachable directly.

Local Knowledge

## Leeds property types we work with

### Back-to-backs (LS6 Headingley, LS4 Burley)

Tight, complex builds. Rear yard extensions, basement digs and full strip-back renovations. Party wall notices often need to be served on three or four neighbours, which we handle in-house.

### 1930s semis (LS7, LS8, LS18)

Hip-to-gable loft, rear extension, knock-through to open-plan kitchen-diner — the classic Leeds combo. Typical project £80–140k.

### Detached family homes (LS17 Alwoodley, Adel, Cookridge)

Wrap-around rear extensions, garden rooms, master-suite extensions, garage conversions. Whole renovations frequently combine all of the above. £120–280k.

### City-centre apartments (LS1, LS2)

Less common for us, but we do undertake bathroom and kitchen replacement works in apartments where the building management permits.

Building Control & Planning

## Working with Leeds's council

Leeds work is submitted to Leeds City Council Building Control. We typically use a Full Plans application for extensions over 30 sqm or anything structural, and Building Notices for simpler work. Where Article 4 directions or conservation status applies (parts of LS6 and LS7) we'll flag it at the first visit and adjust the design accordingly.
