What we do

Extensions, stone, and the building work around them.

Extensions are the main job and the reason most people ring. Stone is the part we're known for. Everything under it is work the same team handles all year, quoted the same way and built to the same standard.

How a job runs

From the first phone call to the certificate: the same order every time, whether it's a two-storey extension or a garden wall. You'll always know which stage you're at and what happens next.

01

You send the job

A couple of phone photos through the form, a WhatsApp, or a call. No drawings needed and nothing to sign.

02

We come and look

Free, at a time that suits. We walk it with you and measure up, and if it isn't a job for us we'll say so on the day.

03

The written quote

Itemised and fixed, with the groundwork and the materials priced separately so you can compare it against anyone else's. What's on the quote is what you pay.

04

Engineer and building control

On anything structural, a structural engineer does the design and the calcs and building control inspects at every stage. We don't draw plans. We build to them.

05

On site

One team, start to finish, and every stage photographed including the parts that end up behind plaster. Swept up at the end of the day, every day.

06

Handover

Your certificates, the photographs of your own job, and the guarantee in writing with the dates on it. Ten years on the structure.

Not sure which of those you're at yet? Send a photo and we'll tell you what your job needs.

"New stone looks new for twenty years. Reclaimed stone has already done its weathering, so the wall we build this spring looks like it's been there since your street was fields."

Who you're dealing with

Urban Green. A team of four, built on 27 years in the trade.

Small on purpose. The person who quotes your job is the person on it, and every project we show is our own work, photographed on the job.

We don't draw plans. A structural engineer does the design and calcs, and we build to them. Insurance and guarantee in writing, shown before you ask.

More about the team

Why we're the right fit

The things worth checking before you let anyone start.

Ask any builder for the same six.

Insurance
Public liability £5m, employer's liability £10m, and contract works cover on building work. Ask to see the certificates.
Guarantee
A 10-year workmanship guarantee. On an extension that's the structure, on a wall it's the wall standing up, on paving it's the groundworks underneath. In writing, dated, on top of the manufacturers' cover.
The quote
Written, itemised and fixed before anything starts, with the groundwork priced separately from the materials. No day rates and no seeing how it goes.
The engineer
We don't draw plans and we won't pretend to. A structural engineer does the design and the calcs, building control inspects against them, and we build to what they specify.
Who is on site
The person who quoted your job is the person building it, and the one you ring with any question while it's underway.
What we won't take on
If a job wants a trade we haven't got, we'll say so and point you at someone who has. We would rather lose the work than learn it on your house.

Coverage

Across Leeds, and about an hour around it.
