Dependable craftsmanship for property improvements.

Not every project requires a full extension or renovation. LGK Construction also undertakes focused building work and property improvements across Warwickshire.

For smaller or mixed jobs that do not need a full extension or renovation, LGK Construction carries out brickwork, porches, repairs, roofing alterations and related property improvements across Warwickshire.

Use General Building Work when the scope is focused or combines several smaller improvements. A project centred on new floor area, whole-room refurbishment or a load-bearing change may be better explored through the Extensions, Renovations or Structural Alterations pages.

What general building work covers.

Brickwork and masonry

Focused brickwork may include walls, repairs, alterations, rebuilding and making good where the required scope and existing construction are clear.

Porches and entrances

Porches, entrance changes and related external improvements can help with access, weather protection and the practical use of the front of the property.

Roofing alterations and repairs

Roofing work may include focused alterations, repairs and making good where the condition, required construction and relationship to the existing property have been assessed.

Smaller or mixed property improvements.

Some projects combine several practical items that are too focused to require a full renovation. These may include brickwork, repairs, carpentry, roofing alterations, making good or connected external work where each item is clearly defined within the agreed scope.

Is this the right service?

General Building Work is suitable for focused or mixed improvements. A project creating significant new floor area belongs under Extensions; a wider room or property refurbishment may suit Renovations; and a load-bearing change should be considered through Structural Alterations.

See Landscaping for joined-up outdoor construction and Garage Conversions for creating a regular-use room from a garage.

Agree the scope before work starts.

Send clear photographs of the relevant areas and any drawings, reports or previous-work information available. Explain which items matter most, how the area is accessed and whether the work connects with another planned improvement.

  • Property location
  • Photographs of each area involved
  • Clear description of the required work
  • Known damage or previous alterations
  • Drawings, reports or specifications already available
  • Access and occupation considerations
  • Priority order where several items are involved
  • Preferred timescale

How mixed building work is coordinated.

Where several items form one project, LGK identifies the agreed work and coordinates the practical sequence. Any specialist design, reports, calculations or approval information needed for a particular item should be provided or confirmed by the relevant professional.

Requirements depend on the nature of the work. Structural alterations, roofing changes, drainage work or other specialist items may require drawings, calculations, inspections or approval from the relevant professional or authority.

Useful questions

What does General Building Work cover?

It covers focused or mixed property improvements such as brickwork, porches, repairs, roofing alterations, making good and connected smaller items where the scope can be clearly defined.

Can several smaller jobs be combined?

They may be combined where they suit one practical scope and can be coordinated efficiently. Send photographs and a list of the items so LGK can assess whether they belong together.

Does LGK take on standalone repairs?

Suitability depends on the type, location and extent of the repair and the current work programme. Provide photographs and a clear description so the enquiry can be assessed.

What information should I send?

Send photographs, the property location, a description of the work and any drawings, reports or information about previous alterations already available.
