Testimonials and Examples of Our Work
Here are a few examples of our recent work, along with some testimonials from our clients.
East Sussex
This is one of the bigger builds that we have worked on recently, a side extension on a beautiful old Victorian cottage. My team and I started work on this build in September 2020 and finished in March 2021. It took a little bit longer than most builds due to the amount of detail the customers wanted, and we started in the middle of the Covid lockdown too, which slowed the work down considerably. However, the amount of detail and amazing designs they chose really made the build something else.
In the pictures that follow you will see that we built an extension onto the dining and kitchen area. This beautiful area has a vaulted ceiling with broad exposed oak beams. These oak beams and high ceilings really give the room a wow factor. Inside the building you can see that there is a vast gable end window that I think brings so much to the room and gives the customers light. It also makes the most of an amazing view of the fields right on their doorstep.
The customers chose these rare handmade terracotta floor tiles, which give a unique look to the place. Underneath this we installed an underfloor heating system, which made the room look smarter and bigger as there were no radiators covering the walls. We find that underfloor heating has become more popular over the years and we think this is because it is more efficient than radiating heat.
On the outside of the building you can see that we have made a porch area outside the single oak door, this includes larch cladding which gives height to the entrance. We also used herringbone brick panels on the outside of the building, which made the extension look really unique.
Lastly we laid a small stone driveway and some landscaping, including a veg patch, to give the place a finishing touch.

Bungalow Kitchen Exension
A kitchen extension on a 1960s bungalow, to form a new living area. The space was opened up to provide a kitchen dining area with a snug lounge, a new utility space and a new bathroom. The space was fitted with underfloor heating and beautiful lighting, to create the perfect new living space.
Extension, East Sussex
Dinnage Buildings turned our Victorian two-up-two-down into a spacious family home. The work took five months, from February to June 2017, and throughout the project Richard and his team were kind, courteous and incredibly tidy. Richard kept us informed of the project's progress and we never felt alone or worried about it, we knew the work was in a safe pair of hands.
We've received many compliments on the work and a lot of people have told us that it looks as though the extension has always been there. Richard and his team did a beautiful job and we would recommend Dinnage Builders to anyone.

Kitchen Extension, Sussex
Dinnage Builders completed our kitchen extension from September 2019 - December 2019.
We cannot recommend Dinnage Builders enough. From the outset Richard was considerate to our needs and worked with us so that we had minimal upheaval. All workers were polite and courteous - and our neighbours have commented on how neat and tidy they maintained the site.
Our site was difficult to access but everything ran smoothly, thanks to fantastic organisation by Richard and his team. All the team took pride in their work which was of the highest standard. They worked extremely hard to complete within the 17 week time frame and were always on site. The coordination of the work between builders, electricians and plumbers was seamless.
Richard updated us regularly as to what was happening at the stages of the process. We felt very involved in the build which resulted in us getting exactly what we wanted.
We have received numerous compliments on the extension by both friends and neighbours and we would not hesitate in recommending Dinnage Builders.

Extension and Loft Conversion
We have used Dinnage Builders on two occasions now. The first time was when we needed our single skinned lean-to replaced. Richard and his team removed the existing structure and replaced it with a larger brick built utility room and downstairs toilet. They also levelled and paved our outside area.
Richard and his team have currently completed a kitchen extension and now working on a loft conversion comprising of a bedroom, bathroom and lounge/kitchen area in order that we can have our own space whilst caring for our elderly mother. We cannot recommend Richard highly enough. He is honest, reliable and conscientious. Richard and his team are polite and hard working, nothing is too much trouble and they like the occasional doughnut! We have always had a fair price for works carried out and we have been open to suggestions/better ways of doing things. We would have no hesitation in recommending Richard for any building works.

1930s bungalow new roof with dormers
Richard's team reworked a 1930s bungalow to add two dormers, creating space for bathroom and two new bedrooms. The resulting work looks like it's always been there. Beautifully crafted by the team. They even dealt with the challenge of snow, to deliver a masterpiece.
