Our Technology
Innovation in home extension building
Traditional Results, Modern Methods
Our extensions look and feel exactly like a conventional build — because they are. We use advanced construction technologies to deliver the same premium finish faster, with less disruption, and to a higher standard.
Your neighbours won't know the difference. Every Spectra Extension matches your existing property seamlessly, using real brick slips, quality materials, and skilled craftsmanship. The only difference? We build in weeks, not months.
