Kitchens, joinery and extensions, built by carpenters.

V&M Home Extensions work from Brandon on the Suffolk and Norfolk border. The towns closest to us are Brandon, Thetford, Lakenheath, Mildenhall, Bury St Edmunds and the forest villages. We travel further for larger projects, across Norfolk, Suffolk and into Cambridgeshire.

Victor and Matthew Oliver. They are the people you will actually deal with, from the first conversation through to the finished job. The business also trades as V&M Oliver Carpentry, which is the name on the Facebook page.

Carpenters who build. That is the honest answer and it shapes the work. We carry out first fix and second fix carpentry, we fit kitchens and build fitted joinery, and we take on extensions, cart lodges and renovations, coordinating the other trades around our own programme.

Yes, and it is the reason this pairing is worth asking about. Extension projects lose time in the handover between the builder and whoever fits out the inside. When the team that built the space also fits the kitchen and hangs the doors, that gap disappears.

Yes. Fitting only is work we take on. You buy the kitchen from whichever supplier suits your budget, whether that is a high street retailer, an online supplier or an independent kitchen company, and we fit it and finish the joinery around it.

First fix is the timber work that goes in before plastering and is hidden afterwards: joists, stud walls, roof timbers and door linings. Second fix is the joinery you can see once the plastering is done: doors, skirting, architrave, staircase parts and fitted joinery.

That depends on the size and position of the work and on your property, and the decision rests with your local planning authority rather than with us. Our area covers several different authorities. We will tell you plainly what we think, then point you at the right council to confirm it.

We carry out the carpentry and the building work and coordinate the other trades around it. Gas work and notifiable electrical work are carried out by the relevant qualified trade. You can use your own plumber and electrician or we can arrange them.

It is an open fronted timber framed building for covered parking and storage, traditional across Suffolk and Norfolk. It is lighter in appearance and generally simpler to build than a garage, which is why it suits village and rural plots in this area so well.

Call us or send the enquiry form with a short description of what you are planning. We come out and look at the job, because almost nothing in this trade can be priced properly from a photograph. The quote is free and there is no obligation.
