LOCAL BUILDERS — FAKENHAM, NORFOLK
Extensions and renovations for Fakenham’s period homes, bungalows and family houses.
Fakenham’s Georgian and Victorian centre is surrounded by later housing, bungalows and newer estates, and the villages around it are full of older brick and flint cottages. We build extensions, loft conversions and renovations in Fakenham and the surrounding villages, from the Snorings to Sculthorpe and Hempton.

WHAT WE DO
One local team for the whole job – from the first conversation to the final snagging.
Single and two-storey extensions, kitchen-diners and garden rooms that suit the age and style of the house.
Dormer and rooflight conversions, and rooms in the roof for bungalows and chalets.
Careful repairs and extensions to older brick and flint cottages, using lime and breathable materials where needed.
BUILDING IN FAKENHAM
Conservation areas, older cottages and village access.
Fakenham’s planning and Building Control are handled by North Norfolk District Council. The historic town centre is a conservation area, as are many of the surrounding villages, so work on the front of older properties often needs extra thought about materials and design.
Brick and flint cottages with solid walls are common around Fakenham. They need breathable materials such as lime mortar rather than cement – something we regularly put right on older homes.

RECENT NORTH NORFOLK PROJECT
An old conservatory replaced with a warm, year-round lounge.
In Sheringham, we removed an ageing conservatory and built a 20m² lounge extension from the architect’s drawings – including steel beams, matching brickwork, render and aluminium bi-fold doors. The room can now be used comfortably all year round.
