When Laura and Neil moved into their new home, they already knew Mosaic was the right choice for the bespoke extension and refurbishment work needed. From their previous positive experience, Laura states, “We had no doubts about getting back in touch with Mosaic. They did a brilliant job at our last house, and we’d been happily recommending them to friends since then.” The couple was so satisfied with Mosaic’s work that they had them return twice – first to extend, rebuild, and refurbish the main house, and later to add a large garage, playroom, and a new driveway, showcasing our expertise as a bespoke builder.
The project required planning permission, a challenging task in a Conservation area with protected trees. Mosaic’s extensive planning experience made the process smooth. “We were so glad that Mosaic handled all this,” says Laura. Mosaic managed the drawings, Design and Access statements and addressed concerns from the Council’s arboricultural specialists and the Highways department, ensuring all approvals were secured, a testament to our proficiency in bespoke construction services.
As work commenced, Neil particularly valued Mosaic’s financial management. “Knowing that we were getting value for money and that there wouldn’t be any nasty surprises on the finance front was a big thing for me,” he says, reflecting our commitment to transparent, bespoke construction practices.
The completed home is filled with highlights: a welcoming hallway, the warmth of high-quality wood throughout, bright loft rooms with beautifully constructed dormers, a stunning new conservatory replacing a cold, damp extension, and a stylish oak double garage and store with a playroom and WC above. Mosaic’s re-tiling of the main roof was so impressive that it was featured in Sandtoft’s brochures, showcasing the expertise of our bespoke builders.
Years later, the lasting impression is of quality – in design, materials, and workmanship. The couple’s trust in Mosaic was well-placed. “At the end of the day, Mosaic demonstrated that they were completely trustworthy,” says Laura. “We trusted them with our family, our home, and our money, and they didn’t let us down.” This reflects our ongoing commitment as a reliable bespoke construction company.
A house that is both homely and impressive, relaxed yet sophisticated, comfortably normal yet extraordinary. This results from a long-standing working relationship between Laura, Neil, and the team, proving our dedication to creating bespoke builds that last a lifetime.
