Q. What experience does Sterling have?

A. We specialise in all forms of refurbishment and building. Our tradesmen have been doing loft conversions and extensions, painting and decorating, bathroom fitting, kitchen fitting and much more for over 10 years. Our team consists of a variety of experts including master builders, qualified plumbers and electricians.

Q. What sort of disruption should I expect on a major build?
A. Any disruption to the householder is kept to a minimum. For the initial part of the conversion / extension we will not need to gain access to your house. All entry and exit will be through the roof via the scaffold. We will only need to access your house when absolutely necessary.

Q. Are you insured to carry out work on my premises?
A. Yes, we have full liability insurance up to 2 million pounds to cover us for all works undertaken.

Q. How can I tell if I can convert my loft or do an extension?
A. We will visit you at your home FREE OF CHARGE to offer our advice and there we will be able to advise what can and can't be done.

Q. Can I get references for completed loft conversions, extensions or refurbishment?
A. Yes, once we have done the initial estimate we will also provide ample references should you request it. You can also see our Gallery for completed work.

Q. What about Planning Permission and Building Regulations?
A. Some conversions require Planning Permission and all have to adhere to Building Regulations. The quote you receive will include the preparation and submission of Plans to your local authority. our architects will serve the appropriate notices and liaise with the authorities on your behalf.

A. Yes we handle everything with our own teams of experienced tradesmen.

Q. How quickly can work start?
