Builders in Southampton
Your builders, based in the city.
iFit Homes is based in Southampton, with our registered office in Bitterne Park. Adrian Royle founded the business here in 2010, and we work across the city and the towns around it.
In Southampton we take on house extensions, loft and garage conversions, new kitchens and bathrooms, and renovations that change how a home works. We also refurbish shops and offices, and fit suspended ceilings and partitions for businesses.
Whatever the size of the job, you deal with one team. We organise every trade, from the structural work to the decorating, and a project manager keeps you updated from the first visit to the handover.

How it works
What happens when you call us.
The first step is a free quotation and consultation. We talk through what you have in mind, the scope of the work and the budget you’re working to, and if the job needs a survey, we arrange one. There’s no charge for any of this and no obligation to go ahead.
Next comes the design. Some clients arrive with an architect’s drawings, which we build from; others have a few photographs and an idea, and we help them turn it into plans. For kitchens and bathrooms there are samples to look at, and for refurbishments there are draft designs you can change until they’re right.
When the work starts, we bring in every trade the job needs, in the right order, and a project manager keeps you up to date. We plan the work around your household, and when it’s finished we walk you through it and leave you with any advice and aftercare guidance you need.
Planning in Southampton
Planning and building control in Southampton.
Southampton is a unitary authority, so Southampton City Council handles both planning applications and building control across the city. Applications are usually made online through the Planning Portal.
Plenty of work needs no application at all. Many single-storey extensions are permitted development, a garage conversion doesn’t usually need planning permission if the work is internal, and internal alterations rarely do. If you want certainty, the council can issue a Certificate of Lawful Development. We’ll tell you what applies at the consultation and handle the paperwork where it’s needed.
Before you start
Four things to think about before you call.
What you want to change
More space, a better layout or a fresher look? A rough idea is enough; we’ll help shape it into a plan at the free consultation.
The budget you’re working to
Knowing your budget early lets us suggest where it will make the most difference, and design to it rather than around it.
Any drawings you already have
If an architect has drawn plans, we can build from them. If not, we offer design support, surveys and sketches.
When you’d like the work done
Tell us about any dates that matter, such as a new arrival or a move-in, and we’ll plan the work around them where we can.
