From tired conservatory
to kitchen extension.

Drag the handle to see the before and after. This client had a dated conservatory that was too cold in winter and too hot in summer — we replaced it with a proper insulated rear extension with a vaulted skylight.

What clients tell us.

Word of mouth keeps us busy. These are genuine reviews from real clients — sourced directly from Google and Facebook.

"Highly recommend! Mark, Matt and the whole team have been amazing! Came in on a project midway through and managed to move things along incredibly quickly and to a high standard. Nothing is too much trouble and we feel we can rely on them 100%!"

"Mark came to look at a damp issue I had at the end of 2023. He advised me on how to solve the problem and very honestly recommended I do it myself rather than pay him. He even replied to my texts and calls when I asked for further guidance. He could so easily have just taken my money. Great to see a truly honourable professional — I will definitely use him when I have a job worthy of his expertise."

"Would highly recommend! Did block paving for us and our neighbours — gave our drive a complete facelift, all with attention to detail. Friendly, tidy, helpful and very reasonable."

Lisa Wenlock-Evans Facebook review

"MJA came initially to change the mains water pipe and ended up building an approx. 75 sq m two-storey extension — and now they're landscaping the garden. Couldn't have got anyone better. Have already recommended them to friends who are now also using them."

"Just had a one-storey extension built by Mark and his team. Highly recommend. Mark is contactable, trustworthy and very knowledgeable. All the team were very efficient. Very pleased with the build. Thank you!"

/ 05 — FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often. Anything not covered — just call.

What areas do you cover?

We're based in Eccleshall and cover Stafford and roughly a 20-mile radius — including Stone, Rugeley, Cannock, Lichfield, Penkridge and the villages in between. If you're not sure whether we reach you, just call and we'll confirm.

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension?

Most single-storey rear extensions fall under Permitted Development and don't need a planning application — but it depends on depth, height and your property type. We'll advise when we visit. If planning permission is required, we can point you to a local agent.

Are your quotes free?

Yes. We visit, look at the job properly, and give you a written quote — no charge, no obligation. We don't quote off photos or rough descriptions because that leads to surprises later.

How long does a rear extension take to build?

A typical single-storey rear extension runs 8–12 weeks from groundwork to handover. Larger or two-storey projects take longer. We give you a realistic programme before we start and we stick to it.

Are you insured and qualified?

Yes. MJA Construction is fully insured for public liability. Mark holds a City & Guilds NVQ Level 2 qualification in bricklaying and has 25 years of hands-on experience.

Do you build extensions and patios in Stone, Cannock or Lichfield?

Yes — Stone, Rugeley, Cannock, Lichfield and Penkridge all fall within our normal service area. Send us an enquiry with your postcode and we'll confirm.
