Extensions & Renovations — Instow, Devon

Local Extension Specialists Covering Instow

Instow sits on the Taw–Torridge estuary between Barnstaple and Bideford — fifteen minutes from our base — and its seafront and the lanes behind it hold some of the most sought-after property in the area.

The Georgian and Victorian houses along Marine Parade, the sailing club, and the premium homes looking across the water to Appledore make Instow a village where buyers invest seriously in their properties — extensions, renovations and full rebuilds done to a high standard.

Much of the village sits within a conservation area, and the estuary frontage brings its own exposure issues, so work here needs both sympathetic detailing and materials that stand up to the salt air.

What We Do

Extensions & Renovations, Done Properly

A good extension should look like it was always part of the house — matched materials, clean structural work and a build that doesn't drag on for months because trades keep failing to turn up. We build single and double storey extensions, garage conversions and full renovations across the area, keeping the work in-house from footings to finish.

Groundworks, foundations, blockwork and brickwork, stonework where the property calls for it, rendering and structural alterations — it's all our own team and our own machinery. That means tighter timescales, one point of contact, and a standard of finish we control from start to end.

On older and character properties, matching the existing building matters. Our stonework background means extensions on stone and period homes get faced and detailed properly, not clad in something that nearly matches.

High-End & Architect-Led Projects

Built for Projects Where the Standard Matters

A large part of our work comes through architects, and it shows in how we operate: we price accurately from drawings, build exactly what's been designed, raise the practical questions early rather than mid-build, and keep sites clean and organised enough to walk a client around at any point. If your extension in Instow is architect-designed, we're comfortable being tendered against anyone.

The capability behind that is unusual for a contractor our size: stonework specialists in-house, our own plant and machinery, and experience across heritage restoration, full stone new builds and complex structural work. From a commercial natural stone facade for Tesco Express to complete barn conversions and coastal builds, the same in-house team carries every project — which is why the finish is consistent and the programme holds.
