Extension Builders in Penrith
SHS builds extensions in Penrith and the surrounding Eden district — foundations, drainage, slab, structural masonry and steel through to weathertight shell.
54.664° N / 2.753° W
Because SHS handles the ground as well as the build, the awkward parts of an extension — foundations next to old footings, drainage in the way, levels that must tie in — stay with one contractor.
Local focus
Working in and around Penrith
Extending sandstone property
Careful excavation alongside shallow existing footings, with engineering input where the interface needs it.
Drainage in the way
Diverting existing runs or arranging a build-over agreement before foundation work begins.
Radon measures
Where the site's radon category requires it, protective measures are built into the slab and DPC detailing.
Penrith — common questions
Yes. A large part of the work around Penrith is on rural properties, farms and village plots in the surrounding Eden district, where restricted access and off-mains drainage are common.
