FAQs
Can you help with planning permission and drawings?
Yes. We work closely with an architect who can assist with planning applications and drawings. We also liaise directly with Building Control to ensure all work meets current regulations.
Will the extension match my existing home?
Absolutely. We specialise in brick matching and blending new builds with existing structures, so your extension looks like it’s always been there.
Do I have to move out during the build?
Not at all. Most clients stay in their homes while we work. We keep disruption to a minimum, maintain a tidy site and update you regularly on progress.
Do you offer extensions for businesses too?
Yes. We build extensions for residential and commercial properties, including offices, shops, cafés and more.
Can I hire you just for the build stage?
Of course. We’re happy to take on build-only work or partner with your architect or project manager. We're flexible and experienced in working as part of a larger team.

We were looking for someone who could match our house style and work to tight deadlines, and Dean nailed both. The single-storey extension looks like part of the original house – same bricks, same roofline, even the windows are a perfect match.
The team were reliable, friendly and respectful the whole time. It’s rare to find builders this consistent and trustworthy, and we’re already planning to use them again.

Dean’s team worked on a single-storey extension for us, and the results are genuinely outstanding. They helped us redesign the space to work better, suggested practical upgrades, and took care of everything from start to finish.
The quality of the finish is second to none, and the job was completed on time with zero surprises. We now have a space that we love using every day. The value it’s added to the house is just the cherry on top.

D Ward Brickwork Ltd did a double-storey extension for us and I couldn’t fault a single thing. Communication was always clear, costs were laid out upfront, and the builders were hardworking and tidy.
We’ve now got a much bigger kitchen and an extra bedroom which makes life with two kids far more manageable. They even helped us decide on finishes and layout details. The whole thing felt really well managed.

We needed more room downstairs and decided to add a rear extension with a new open-plan layout. Dean’s team were friendly, organised, and very respectful while working in our home.
They handled the groundwork, steel installation, plastering, and flooring — everything. Dean was hands-on and always available to discuss progress. What really impressed us was how they matched the brickwork and made it all look seamless. Now, we finally have a space where the whole family can relax together. It’s made the house feel bigger, brighter, and far more usable. Fantastic job all around.

From start to finish, D Ward Brickwork Ltd were absolutely faultless. We had a full-width rear extension added to create an open-plan kitchen and living area, and the result is stunning.
Dean helped guide us through everything, from design tweaks to dealing with Building Control. His team were friendly, tidy, and hardworking. They always turned up when they said they would and kept us in the loop at every stage. The finish is immaculate, the timeline was met, and the final cost matched the original quote. Couldn’t ask for more from a builder.

Our wrap-around extension was a big job, but Dean and his team made it all feel manageable. They handled the groundwork, structure, plumbing, insulation — everything.
They kept us informed the entire way through and were really responsive to any changes we wanted to make. The end result looks incredible and functions even better. It’s made our home more spacious and better suited to our growing family. We’d absolutely recommend D Ward Brickwork Ltd to anyone considering an extension.

The quality of the brickwork and finishing touches were excellent. Dean clearly takes pride in his work.
Our extension includes large patio doors and vaulted ceilings – it’s now the brightest part of the house. Everything was done with care and attention, and the team were great to have around.

We wanted a garden room extension that could be used all year round, and Dean delivered exactly that. It’s beautifully built, fully insulated, and finished with great attention to detail.
The project included electrics, flooring, plastering, and everything was completed without delays. Dean’s team were respectful of our garden, cleaned up at the end of each day, and kept disruption to a minimum. We now use the space daily, and it feels like a real asset to the home. Couldn’t fault a thing and would 100% use D Ward Brickwork Ltd again.

Our extension involved knocking through structural walls, installing steelwork, and laying new foundations. Not a small job, but they handled it all with total professionalism.
Dean clearly knows what he’s doing, and the end result is rock solid and really well finished. We’d use them again in a heartbeat.

We hired Dean for a large double-storey extension, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. His team were punctual, tidy, and highly skilled across all aspects of the job.
Communication was excellent — we had weekly updates, and any issues were addressed quickly. The finished work exceeded our expectations: perfect brick match, well-fitted windows, and a smooth plaster finish throughout. It now feels like we have a brand-new home without having to move. Dean clearly takes pride in his work and we’ve already recommended him to several friends and colleagues looking to build.

Dean and the lads were an absolute joy to deal with. Punctual, respectful, and very skilled at what they do.
We had an orangery added to the side of the house and it fits beautifully. It looks like it’s always been there, and the interior finishing is spot-on.

We wanted a garden room that could double as an office and relaxation space, and Dean delivered exactly that. His team were always on time, respectful, and extremely professional.
The build went without a hitch — no delays, no hidden costs. The room is insulated, wired up and finished beautifully. It’s now my favourite place to be in the whole house. Dean made what felt like a big project seem simple and manageable. Wouldn’t use anyone else now.
