New House Build

Many of us dream of having a new home built to our own specification, but you don’t need to just dream it! Traditional or modern, large or small, in the town or in the country, it is possible. By working closely with clients, funders and their architects, we deliver contemporary apartments, townhouses or traditional detached houses, to an impeccable standard. We create innovative, design led, sustainable buildings which continue to set ever-higher environmental standards.

Ask Phil Oakley Contractors to build for you, and you choose all the crucial details that turn a new house into a home. From flooring to door handles, you can choose to finish your new home fixtures and finishes of your choice, depending on what you want. We have 32 years experience, and are always interested to hear from landowners regarding property development and new home construction.

Rely on us for full project and site management for your new build. We employ a well-structured approach to domestic new builds with the right management in place to finish a project on time and on budget. Our strong alliances with surveyors, architects, structural engineers and trade specialists ensure a complete construction service.

Getting finance and insurance in order is an important starting point and also a big challenge for most people planning a new build project. We are familiar with mortgages tailored to the needs of the self-builder – and these have revolutionised the self build and renovation market, making the dream a reality for many people in the UK.

House Extension

A house extension can add valuable space to an existing building and, providing all necessary building regulations are met during the build, can have many uses, such as, a kitchen, bedroom, home gym, home office and much more. Following recent relaxation of planning regulations, you will be surprised how much you can change. We can help you in making an informed decision on the most suitable home extension.

Phil Oakley Contractors has worked on many extensions and can handle all stages of the job. We cover everything from the ground works, drain laying, the concrete slab, brick laying, roof construction, internal walls, plumbing, electrics, flooring, through to plastering and decorating. We work closely with local authorities to ensure compliance with the building regulations and planning permission. Being involved throughout the entire process, starting with the design, ensures you get exactly what you want. We can build any type of extension, from a small porch to a two-story addition.

Our team, including an architect can work with you from the inception stage of your project and guide you through the whole process, with expert advice at every stage. It all starts with a free site visit that gives us the chance to understand your vision for the project – you choose a complete design and build package, or give us existing plans that we work from.

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

I have used Phil Oakley Contractors on and off for the last 15 years to maintain my house (everything from a new kitchen ceiling with recessed lights to preserving bargeboards and soffits). I have never found them to be less than excellent. My latest problem was a leaking roof. Phil came himself to assess the job on the day I phoned him and his roofer came when he said he would and did an excellent job. The one thing you want above all else from a builder is reliability and with Phil you get that in spades. I would certainly recommend them to anyone.

Loft Conversion

If you are thinking of increasing the size and value of your property, consider adding an extra bedroom or playroom with the option of an extra bathroom. The cheapest and least disruptive way is often a loft conversion, there are several types available depending on your needs, location and budget:

  • Install Velux windows for natural light, keeping the original roof shape
  • Construct dormer windows which will give extra room and head height, adding character to your home
  • Hip to gable conversion, altering the shape of the roof to maximise space
  • Mansard or French roof, involving a reconstruction of the roof to maximise space
  • We can design and build any of these to your personal requirements and budget.
