Excellent repair work and they alerted us to the bad installation of flue pipe through the roof which needed lead covering. They applied lead plate around the pipe and did a great job. Would definitely recommend.

Mr and Mrs Daniels approached RV Roofing & Building with a clear vision: to transform their outdated galley kitchen into a bright and open-plan, family space – that would better connect with their rear garden. The existing layout was narrow, dark and disconnected from the living and dining areas.
They wanted something modern, functional and full of natural light. A space that could serve as the heart of the home.
The couple had already received planning approval for a 4.5m single-storey rear extension. Our task was to take the plans from paper to reality, while managing every aspect of the build and maintaining full communication with the client and team throughout.
We began by carefully demolishing the rear wall and removing an aging conservatory that once occupied the garden space. Groundworks followed with re-enforced foundations, laid to support the wider kitchen footprint. During this phase we installed new drainage to future-proof the property, and poured a fully insulated concrete slab to prepare for the internal floor.
As the build took shape, we;
The final space is bright, spacious and beautifully modern. The roof-lights provide ambient daylight throughout the day – while the open layout means the entire ground floor now functions as a single space for cooking, dining and entertaining.
Mr and Mrs Daniels praised the cleanliness of the site during the works. The steady pace of the build, and the clear communication throughout. The project was completed on time and within budget.
From under-floor heating compatibility to EV charger integration, we install the hidden infrastructure that adds long-term property value. Dorset buyers are increasingly looking for homes with energy-conscious features. Future proofing your build now means commanding a higher re-sale price later.
We believe that great construction doesn’t just stand the test of time, it also works in harmony with the environment. Also, as demand grows for energy-efficient and self- sustainable homes across Dorset, we’re proud to offer eco-conscious building projects without sacrificing quality or style.
Whether you’re embarking on a new build, a home extension or a renovation project, we can incorporate a range of environmentally friendly features that can; reduce waste, lower long-term energy costs and improve insulation.
We work with a growing range of eco-certified and recycled materials. From sustainably sourced timber for stud-work or flooring, to breathable lime renders and natural insulation products. These materials not only reduce the building’s carbon footprint – but often perform better when it comes to regulating temperature and moisture.
Where uPVC alternatives are needed, we offer low-maintenance composite and recyclable aluminium products. Ideal for windows, doors, cladding and soffits.
A truly energy-efficient home begins with insulation. We use high-performance PIR boards, warm roof systems and insulated slab to ensure maximum thermal retention – from the foundations to the roof beams.
Combined with air-tight vapour membranes and triple-sealed window systems, your home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer. While also being drastically cheaper to run year-round.
Our insulation practices exceed standard UK Building Regulations and we’re always happy to help clients achieve higher energy ratings. Whether you’re going for a full ‘passive house’ setup or simply want to improve comfort and efficiency.
Modern building isn’t just about bricks and mortar, it’s now also about integration. We can work with certified electricians and smart system specialists to make your property solar-ready or automation-compatible.
Whether it’s wiring for electric car charging, smart thermostats, underfloor heating or zoned lighting control. We’ll build the infrastructure that keeps your home future-proofed and market-relevant.
(We’re also happy to advise on the best positioning for panels, insulation rebates and low-impact heating options during the planning phase).
The team always follow environmentally responsible site practices. Including rainwater harvesting setups and permeable groundwork for driveways and patios.
Our groundwork teams prioritise drainage planning, soakaway systems and eco-conscious waste removal. Keeping your property flood-resilient and compliant with Dorset water regulations.
Going green doesn’t have to break the bank. We’re experienced in working within modest budgets while still integrating high-performance elements where they count most. Talk to us about our roof insulation projects, double glazing offerings or the latest water-saving systems on the market.
Our team is here to help you identify eco-upgrades that make a difference – both for the planet and for your long-term utility costs.
Modern insulation, energy-efficient glazing and airtight membranes don’t just cut your carbon footprint. They significantly lower your energy bills. Over 10-years, many of our clients report savings that exceed the initial cost of installation, especially when paired with smart controls or solar readiness. Investing once means saving for years.
We don’t just construct walls, extensions or roofs. We build lasting value, running through the beams of every project we undertake.
Whether you’re dreaming of a kitchen extension, planning a full renovation or starting from the ground up, our experienced Dorset-based team is here to make it happem.
No project is too small and no vision too ambitious. If it matters to you, it matters to us.
We’re happy to talk through your ideas, provide advice on design or materials, and give you a fair, fully detailed quotation. Honest guidance from a team who care about the outcome as much as you do.

It depends on the nature and scale of your project. Minor works such as internal renovations or small rear extensions may fall under Permitted Development Rights, which means you won’t need planning permission.
However, larger structural works, such as changes to rooflines, building in conservation areas and projects that impact neighbouring properties. Usually do require formal planning consent.
Don’t worry, we are well-versed in Dorset Council’s planning guidelines. We’ll advise you at every stage. If planning is required we can work with architects and submit applications on your behalf, ensuring everything is compliant before a single brick is laid.
Planning permission concerns the external appearance and use of a building.
Building regulations are about structural integrity, safety, insulation, fire compliance, electrics, plumbing and more.
Even if planning permission isn't required, building regulations almost always are.
We liaise with approved inspectors or the local authority to ensure your project meets or exceeds all current UK building standards. We’ll also arrange all site visits and certifications.
Time-frames vary based on project type, size, access and weather conditions.
For example;
Before we start we’ll provide a clear schedule of works with realistic milestones. We factor in delivery times, weather buffers and your own schedule - so there are no surprises!
We offer a comprehensive, end-to-end building service. From groundworks to finishing touches. That includes demolition, excavation, brickwork, structural alterations, roofing, joinery, plumbing, electrics, among more.
Where we don’t handle something in-house (such as architectural drawings or specialist trades). We partner with trusted professionals we've worked with for years. You won’t have to co-ordinate or manage. We’ll handle it all for you.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Costs are influenced by:
That said, we always work within your budget. Once we understand your goals, we’ll provide a detailed, transparent quotation outlining all expected costs. We also offer guidance on cost-saving alternatives without cutting corners.
We’re happy to collaborate with your architect, structural engineer or interior designer. We can provide technical feedback, offer buildability advice and liaise with them throughout construction to ensure a smooth build.
If you don’t have an architect yet, we can recommend trusted local professionals who understand the planning systems and have experience with similar Dorset properties.
Construction often involves uncovering hidden issues, such as damp, rot, structural movement, or non-compliant previous work. If anything arises, we’ll pause and advise immediately. Providing clear recommendations, transparent costings and any required design adjustments.
Our goal is always to find the safest, most cost-effective solution that gets the job done properly.
