One team for the whole project, from first drawing to final coat

Whether you're adding a room, opening up the ground floor or converting space you already own, the same team plans it, builds it and finishes it.

Why Parker James

A family run builder you can actually get hold of

Parker James was established in 2013. We combine practical building knowledge with a focus on design, organisation and looking after our customers. We wanted to build a family run business homeowners could rely on: a personal approach, with work completed to a high standard.

The company has grown over the years, but our personal involvement and attention to detail remain at the heart of what we do. You deal with Wayne, not a call centre, and you know who is on your site and what happens next.

Where We Work

Extension and conservatory builders across Staffordshire & the Midlands

Based in Hednesford, Cannock, and working throughout the region.

The detail behind the work

House extensions, conservatories and loft conversions done properly

Most homeowners in Cannock don't really want a building project. They want a bigger kitchen, a spare bedroom, somewhere quiet to work, or a room that finally makes the garden usable in April rather than July. The building work is simply the price of getting there. Our job is to make that price, in money, in time and in disruption, as predictable as it can honestly be.

That starts before anyone lifts a shovel. As house extension builders across Staffordshire we prepare architect's drawings and structural engineer's calculations for your project, so what gets submitted for planning and building control is the same thing that gets built. Single storey extensions, double storey extensions, structural alterations to open a ground floor up, each is priced from drawings rather than guesswork, and each is set out with a realistic programme.

Conservatories and orangeries are where the company began, and they remain a large part of what we do. A conservatory in Cannock or an orangery in Stafford is only as good as the base it sits on and the glass that goes into it. We build from the footings up, match the brickwork to the house, and specify glazing that keeps the room comfortable in summer and usable in winter, not a room the family avoids for half the year.

Loft conversions in Cannock and garage conversions in Lichfield are often the most efficient way to gain a room, because the shell already exists. Head height, stair position and fire regulations decide whether a loft works, and we tell you straight away if it doesn't. Garage conversions are quicker again: insulate, damp-proof, glaze, plaster and finish, and a cold store becomes an office, playroom or bedroom.

Larger schemes: double storey extensions in Birmingham, structural alterations in Stoke-on-Trent, full internal reconfigurations: bring more trades and more sequencing. Because plumbing, heating and electrical works are part of what we offer, those trades sit on the same programme rather than being booked in by you around ours. Kitchen installation can be included at the end so the new space is finished, not just built.

Behind all of it sits the paperwork that matters: £2,000,000 of public liability insurance, and a 10-year insurance-backed structural guarantee through QANW, Quality Assured National Warranties. That guarantee stays with the property, which matters when you come to sell. Extension architects' drawings in Cannock, extension builders in Solihull, conservatory work closer to home: the standard and the cover are the same.

Parker James has been family run since 2013, with 40 years of building experience behind the work. You'll deal with Wayne directly. If you'd like an idea of cost and what's realistic on your property, request an estimate or call 07596 484998.

Common Questions

Before you get in touch

Do you handle the drawings and building control?

Yes. We prepare architect's drawings and structural engineer's calculations, and we deal with building control through the build, so you aren't chasing separate professionals.

Is the work guaranteed?

Structural work is covered by a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee with QANW (Quality Assured National Warranties). We also carry £2,000,000 public liability insurance.

How long does an extension take?

It depends on size, ground conditions and specification. We give you a realistic programme with your estimate rather than an optimistic one, and we tell you early if anything changes.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across Staffordshire and the West Midlands, including Cannock, Solihull, Birmingham, Lichfield, Stafford, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent, Telford and Derby.

How do I get an estimate?

Call Wayne on 07596 484998 or send us your details and a short description of what you have in mind. We'll arrange a visit, talk through the options and put a written estimate together.
