Building across Paignton from just up the road
We serve Paignton from our base at 156 Newton Road, Torquay. Contact Jake to arrange a free site visit and discuss your drawings.
We cover the whole of Paignton: Preston, the seafront and town centre, Goodrington, Roselands, Foxhole, Collaton St Mary and out towards Churston Ferrers and Brixham.
Homeowners planning an extension or structural alteration can send their drawings and any necessary approvals for pricing.
Our core in-house team handles groundworks, brickwork, blockwork and structural carpentry, with vetted specialists for plumbing, electrics and plastering. You deal with one contractor from the first dig to handover.
Paignton's property types
Paignton has a strong mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the seafront and Preston, inter-war and post-war semis spreading inland, and large estates of later homes towards Goodrington and Roselands. Bungalows are common too, and many are being extended or reconfigured.
Flatter ground near the seafront makes extensions simpler than in parts of Torquay, but low-lying areas need careful attention to drainage, while the western estates rise into hillier ground with sloping gardens.

- Single-storey rear extensions on semis and bungalows
- Two-storey side extensions on family homes
- Load-bearing wall removals for open-plan living
- Replacing tired felt flat roofs with rubber roofing

What Paignton homes commonly need
Paignton's housing brings its own set of structural issues.
Ageing flat roofs
Many post-war extensions and garages have felt roofs well past their best, leading to leaks and rotten decking.
Drainage on low ground
Lower-lying areas need care with drainage and falls, especially when extending over or near existing drains.
Bungalow reconfigurations
Extending or opening up bungalows often involves roof structure changes and steels that need proper design.
Seafront exposure
Properties nearer the coast face salt air and driving rain, so weatherproofing and material choices matter.
Building in Paignton: what to know
Planning and Building Control in Paignton
The approvals required depend on the property, proposed work and any planning restrictions. Some extensions may fall under permitted development. Your architect should confirm the applicable requirements; we can liaise with Building Control officers on site where needed.
Extending Paignton’s family homes
Extensions and alterations to family homes can include a larger kitchen-diner, new openings or additional bedrooms. The foundations, drainage and structural supports should follow the site-specific drawings and calculations.
Paignton project planning
Site access, existing structures and drainage should be considered before work begins. We discuss these alongside your drawings when preparing a quote, with specialist trades coordinated through the company.
Seafront exposure and low-lying ground
Parts of Paignton sit close to sea level near the seafront and along the low ground behind it. Here, drainage design and damp-proofing need particular care, and extensions near existing drains or soakaways must be planned before excavation. Properties close to the coast also face salt air and wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to how a new roof meets the existing wall, how openings are formed, and how flat roofs are edged and drained. These details are what keep a Paignton extension dry for the long term.
