How we work

We're a family business, so the people who quote your job are the people who turn up to build it. One team manages every trade, from the first drawing to the final coat of paint.

We sort the planning drawings, Building Control sign-off and party wall notices too, so you can get on with life while the work happens.

Oakmoor is a family-run builder in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, run by Tom and Rachel Hale. We build extensions, open up rooms, convert lofts and garages, fit kitchens and make staircases and joinery by hand, for homes across Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon and Wetherby.

More room, same address

Love your house but
outgrowing it?

Most people who call us like where they live. They just need another bedroom, a kitchen big enough for everyone, or somewhere to work that isn't the dining table.

Moving means agents, stamp duty, removals and leaving a street you know. Extending keeps the neighbours, the school run and the garden you've spent years on.

We'll look at what your house could become and give you honest numbers, so you can weigh it up properly.

Every stage of the build,
not just the finish

Anyone can show you a nice kitchen. We'd rather show you the footings, the steels and the plastering too. Drag each photo to see how the job came together.

Reviews

What our customers say

We'd much rather you heard it from the people we've built for.

The extension we'd been putting off for years

Tom talked us through every option before we spent a penny. The team were tidy, on time and kept us posted every Friday. Our kitchen now opens straight onto the garden and we use it every day.

Sarah and James P. Knaresborough

Honest, friendly and properly skilled

We had a wall taken out and a steel put in. Rachel handled the engineer and Building Control so we didn't have to. The quote was the price we paid, which says it all.

Mark D. Harrogate

A staircase people stop to look at

Our oak staircase was made in their workshop and fitted in two days. It's the first thing visitors comment on. Beautiful work from a lovely team.

Helen W. Ripon

Loft conversion done with zero stress

We stayed in the house the whole time and barely noticed them until the stairs went in. Now our eldest has a proper bedroom and an en suite. Would use again without thinking.

Questions

Questions people ask us

Do you do free quotes?

Yes. We visit, measure up and send a written, itemised quote within seven days. There's no charge and no obligation.

Is it cheaper to extend than to move?

Often, once you add up stamp duty, agent fees and removals. It depends on your house and what you need, so we'll give you honest numbers to compare.

Do you handle planning and Building Control?

We do. We arrange drawings, submit planning where it's needed, book the engineer and manage Building Control inspections through to sign-off.

How long does an extension take?

Most single-storey extensions take 12 to 16 weeks on site. We'll give you a week-by-week plan before we start.

Can I see work you've done?

Of course. We can share photos from every stage and, with their permission, put you in touch with past customers near you.
