How We Work: The Extension Process
Most of our clients approach us once their architectural plans have been approved or are close to approval. From there, we take the stress out of the build by providing a fully managed service, handling everything from structural work to sourcing skilled tradesmen for key elements such as electrics, plumbing, roofing, and interior finishes.
1. Initial Consultation & Design Review
We begin with a site visit to discuss your project in detail. Our experienced team—led by Liam and Rob—will review your architectural plans, offer practical recommendations, and identify any opportunities to improve efficiency or cost-effectiveness while ensuring the extension aligns with your goals.
2. Detailed Quotation & Supplier Recommendations
Following the consultation, we prepare a comprehensive quotation, outlining materials, labour, and any specialist work required. If needed, we can suggest trusted kitchen, bathroom, or glazing suppliers to help you make the right choices for your home.
3. Contract & Project Scheduling
Once the quote is accepted and the initial deposit is received, our contract begins. We schedule the work, plan the build phase, and book in any necessary electricians, plumbers, or finishing trades—ensuring a seamless process with trusted professionals.
4. Construction & Regular Client Updates
Our team begins the build phase, handling everything from groundworks to final structural completion. We keep in constant communication throughout the project, updating you on progress and ensuring minimal disruption to your home life.
5. Completion & Finishing Touches
Once the main structure is complete, we oversee final finishes, ensuring that every aspect of the build meets our high standards. If additional work is needed—such as landscaping or interior fittings—we can provide recommendations or manage the process for you.

What Our Clients Say
”
I asked a friend for any recommendations for someone to build a new garden room with deck. I had some ideas for the design I wanted but was pleasantly surprised at how much advice and guidance Rob and Liam were able to provide. It was evident they are very experienced in potential pitfalls plus understand design with wood. They completed the work on time and we are delighted with the finish. It has made a huge difference to our lives already. Thankyou Cutbush and Smith. We are happy to recommend you.

We were very happy with our loft conversion. We knew the length of time the project would take and made plans accordingly. Though the team were diligent at keeping disruption to our home to a minimum. The staircase is completely bespoke, designed by the team and built by them. We are delighted with the new room in our home and excited to begin decorating. Thanks to Liam & Rob for everything!

The team had already completed a large amount of work on our large renovation project. From repairing and improving sliding sash windows, to the repair and strengthening of our staircase, they completed everything in a highly professional and skilled manner. We didn't even ask for quotes when it came to building a large deck with bespoke seating over the existing patio area and a large deck at the end of the garden to create a new seating area for sunny days. Excellent team, highly skilled work - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

The team were originally asked to build a new deck in our small garden. Seeing how professional and reliable the team were, we knew it was right to hire them for all our woodworking projects. They've now built unique wardrobes and refitted all our internal doors including french doors leading to our conservatory. Pam is over the moon with everything!

From the beginning we knew the team took the project very seriously. Our extension with new kitchen and living space, bifold doors opening to the garden, was a dream we had for our new home. The team couldn't have been more helpful with our project. From start to finish they were professional, considerate and went over and above on every aspect of our build. They helped us with many things that weren't in their remit and helped us by hiring all trades to complete the work. Couldn't be happier!
