Local Design & Build
North Suffolk & South Norfolk)
Every home has its opportunities — an underused corner, a wasted space, or a dream that feels just out of reach. That’s where I come in. With over 40 years of hands-on building and design experience, I create bespoke kitchens, bathrooms, shepherd huts, playhouses, and outdoor living spaces across North Suffolk and South Norfolk.
I’ve spent decades refurbishing homes and reconfiguring layouts, as well as converting properties into HMOs to meet demand and maximise value. Whether it’s a family kitchen or a commercial investment, every project is built to last, tailored to its purpose, and managed personally from start to finish.
I’m not just a builder. I listen, I design, and I deliver spaces that feel effortless — because every detail has been thought through.
Bathrooms – Functional, Beautiful & Value-Adding in Norfolk & Suffolk
A bathroom has one job first: function. It should make getting clean easy, calm and effortless. I start by listening to what’s not working—tight layouts, wasted space, poor lighting—and turn those issues into clear, practical solutions that still look great.
Adding a Second Bathroom
I’m often asked if a second bathroom is possible. In many homes it is. With 40 years’ experience I can rework underused or awkward spaces to create an extra bathroom that adds daily convenience and real property value.
Respecting Your Home During Works
Projects can be disruptive, so I plan for it. Where possible I provide a temporary facility, keep the site tidy, and coordinate trusted trades so the job runs smoothly from first fix to final seal.
Built to last, proportioned with care, and finished to feel calm and intentional.
Outdoor Kitchens – Cooking as Theater in Norfolk & Suffolk
Most outdoor kitchens end up as copies of the indoor one — a slab, a sink, a BBQ. If you just want to cook, you’ve already got a kitchen inside. Outdoors should be different.
Designed by a Chef, Built for Entertainment
My approach is about the theatre of fire and smoke — an instinctive return to nature. With the insight of an award-winning chef and 40 years on the tools, I design spaces that flow for prep, cook, serve and gather.
Practical and Weather-Proof
Layouts that work, prep areas that earn their keep, materials and detailing that handle UK weather. Every build is bespoke, crafted with passion, finesse and quality for year-round use.
Outdoor living, not just outdoor cooking — a stage for family and friends to come together.
Shepherd Huts & Playhouses – Bespoke Builds in Norfolk & Suffolk
Every garden has opportunities — tight access, odd corners, unused space. I design shepherd huts and playhouses to fit those realities, turning constraints into polished solutions. Past builds include a hut flat-packed through a garage door and a Disney-inspired cedar playhouse hand-made from raw timber.
For Families & Gardens
Safe, durable, and full of character. From imaginative children’s playhouses to quiet garden retreats, each build is crafted to last and tailored to how you’ll actually use it.
For Holiday Parks & Hospitality
Guest-ready structures that add value: insulated huts with stoves or compact kitchens, family play features, and leisure structures that increase bookings and stand out from the competition.

Refurbishments & Conversions – Norfolk & Suffolk
Some projects go beyond a single room — they’re about unlocking the full potential of a property. I’ve spent decades refurbishing homes, reconfiguring layouts and delivering full property conversions, including HMOs. These aren’t just cosmetic upgrades; they’re practical changes that make space work better and add value.
For Homeowners
Improve flow, light and storage. Turn underused rooms into useful space and modernise without losing character.
For Landlords & Investors
Durable, compliant layouts that perform: HMO conversions, rental refurbishments and smart reconfigurations that boost yield and cut maintenance headaches.
Project Management
Clear scope, realistic budgets, phased plans, trusted trades, tidy sites and a snag-free finish — managed personally from first fix to final handover.
I’ll be sharing more on refurb strategy and HMO planning on the blog — check back for guides and real examples.

Problem-Solving by Design
Clients often come to me with frustrations — awkward layouts, wasted corners, poor lighting. I listen first, then turn those problems into polished solutions: cabinetry that fits the room, materials chosen for beauty and durability, and layouts that make cooking effortless.

The inspiration for this project came from a visit to a junk shop. I created a timeless children play playhouse, unique and practical. It's been made as a flat pack and can be very easily transported to any garden
