Extensions, loft conversions, kitchens, bathrooms and driveways for Bexhill, Cooden, Little Common and Sidley, from a family firm with its own electricians.
Bexhill grew as an Edwardian resort and then, more than most towns on this coast, as a place people retired to. The result is a town with grand Edwardian houses along the seafront and around the centre, and mile after mile of interwar and postwar bungalows and semis behind them, in Cooden, Little Common, Pebsham and up towards Sidley.
O&S carries out extensions, loft conversions, kitchens, bathrooms, driveways and renovations across Bexhill. We are a family run firm based in Polegate, a straightforward run along the A259, and our own electricians handle the wiring on every job.
The seafront, the roads around the De La Warr Pavilion and the older centre have the Edwardian and Victorian stock: large villas, tall terraces, and buildings long since divided into flats. Renovations here are about bringing the services up to date and restoring rooms that have been chopped about, and the conservation area around the town centre brings planning into some of it.
Away from the front, Bexhill is a bungalow town. Cooden, Little Common and the estates between them are largely interwar and postwar bungalows and chalet bungalows on decent plots, and the most common jobs we do here are loft conversions, which turn a two bedroom bungalow into a proper family house, single storey rear extensions for a bigger kitchen, and garage conversions for an extra room. Kitchens and bathrooms from the 1970s and 80s are also regularly due a full refurbishment.
Sidley and the northern edge of the town have more family housing, semis and terraces, where extensions and conversions are equally straightforward, and the driveways on all of this stock are often original concrete that has had its day.
Bungalow lofts and rear extensions above all, and the kitchens and bathrooms that go with them. Every service
Unused roof space turned into a proper bedroom, office or bathroom, with the stairs and the insulation done right.
Single and double storey extensions, from the footings and the steel through to the last coat of paint.
Cold, half used garages made warm, dry and insulated, so you get a room you will actually live in.
Walls out, floors levelled, units fitted, and everything plumbed and wired by our own team.
Full bathroom and wet room fit outs, tanked and tiled properly so nothing moves in five years.
Block paving, sandstone and resin, laid on the right sub base with the drainage thought about first.
A bungalow loft conversion is a bigger job than a loft in a two storey house, because the roof is often shallow and a dormer, or a full roof lift, is needed to gain the headroom. It is also the single best way to add value to a Bexhill bungalow, because it turns a two bedroom home into three or four without losing the garden. We check the roof structure and the head height at the first visit, arrange the drawings and the structural calculations, and handle the staircase, the fire safety and the sign off through Rother District Council's building control as part of the job.
Bexhill is bungalow country, and loft conversions are the job we are asked for above all others: a dormer or a roof lift that turns a two bedroom bungalow into a proper family home without touching the garden. Single storey rear extensions for a bigger kitchen come next, then garage conversions and driveways.
Along the seafront and around the centre the Edwardian villas bring renovations, rewires and new bathrooms and kitchens, and the conservation area brings a planning application into some of it. We handle that side as part of the job.
Dormers, roof lifts, staircases and fire safety, all as one job with the sign off included.
We know when a Bexhill extension or dormer needs an application and when it does not.
Loft conversions and extensions need new circuits. Ours are wired by our own qualified team.
