Uncompromising Quality in Structural House Extensions

"Unlike general builders who rush from job to job, we deliberately limit our intake to just 4 full house extensions per year."

At A. Jones Contractors, we bring over 15 years of specialised structural building experience to every home we expand. This ensures our dedicated, highly qualified in-house tradesmen and site managers maintain absolute focus and exacting standards on your property.

What truly separates our extension work is our foundation in complex civil engineering and groundworks. Your extension doesn't just look like a natural part of your home-it is structurally engineered to the highest tolerances from the earth up.

Planning & Building Regs

Navigating the red tape of home expansion can be daunting. We provide comprehensive pre-construction support to streamline the process:

  • Permitted Development (PD): We advise on and maximise your PD rights to save you time and planning costs wherever possible.
  • Architectural Collaboration: We happily build from your architect's plans, or we can recommend our trusted local partners.
  • Building Control: Full compliance is non-negotiable. We liaise directly with Building Control inspectors at every stage.

Our Specialities

Types of Extensions We Build

Rear & Open Plan Extensions

Rear & Open-Plan

Our most requested service. We specialise in opening up the back of your property to create expansive, modern living spaces. This often involves complex structural alterations, including the removal of major load-bearing walls and the precise installation of heavy-duty RSJ steelwork.

Side Return & Wraparound

Side Return & Wrap-Around

Highly popular in terraced and period properties, a side return or wrap-around extension reclaims dead space to drastically improve your home's footprint. These builds often present unique groundwork challenges.

Our deep expertise in civil engineering means we expertly handle restricted access, new drainage connections, and careful brick matching.

How We Work

Our Process

1. Survey & Brick Matching

We visit the site to assess the required work. For repairs and extensions, we take photos and samples to source exact matching bricks (reclaimed or new stock, checking imperial vs metric) via our specialist suppliers.

2. Groundworks & Preparation

Whether carefully dismantling a collapsed garden wall or pouring heavy-duty footings for a new structural project, we fully prepare the foundations before any bricks are laid.

3. Precision Bricklaying & Pointing

Our in-house bricklayers complete the structure, incorporating any chosen decorative details like arches or soldier courses. Finally, we apply your specified pointing style (bucket handle, weather-struck, or flush) for a clean, protective finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

For the construction phase, a single-storey extension takes roughly 10–14 weeks, while a double-storey extension requires 14–20 weeks. We provide a detailed, stage-by-stage project schedule before ground is broken.
We use a strong core in-house team for all critical trades like bricklaying, groundworks, and project management. We supplement this strictly with long-term, trusted subcontractors for specialist certifications (NICEIC electrics and Gas Safe plumbing).
