New Builds
Having the chance to build a brand-new home is often a once in a lifetime experience for most. Therefore, to help you to get everything you desire from your new house, we’ll be alongside you every step of the way, from concept to completion. A new build is the chance to have your home exactly as you want it using your vision and ideas and, with our expertise and knowhow, we’re confident we’ll create the house of your dreams.
Extensions
Extending your existing home can be the best of both worlds; you get the space you’ve always wanted in the location you love. We’re experienced in all types of extensions; from lean-to kitchen additions to two-storey and wraparounds. We know that having work carried out at your home can be an upheaval but, just as we’re dedicate to delivering quality workmanship, we do so while trying to minimise disturbance to you.
Conversions
Converting defunct or dilapidated outbuildings has become a popular way of creating additional space, and sometimes it can afford the opportunity to create an entirely new home altogether. With a structure extant, this can be a very cost-effective way of getting the home you’ve always wanted and is a great way of marrying older buildings with the function and efficacy of new building techniques and regulations.
Renovations / Remodels
Do you have a property in need of some TLC? We love bringing neglected houses back to life and helping them reach their full potential. Our experience in all types of construction techniques and understanding of the correct materials and methods results in a sympathetically renovated building that will last for generations to come.

About Us
L J Birmingham is owned and run by Lenny Birmingham, a seasoned building professional with years of experience. Lenny has a hands-on approach to all projects and is expert at following plans, providing advice, and helping clients achieve their vision.
He has surrounded himself with other experienced trades all of whom hold the same exemplary standards of work and dedication to robust project delivery. Testament to Lenny’s reputation is the high percentage of his projects generated from word-of-mouth recommendations. If you’re thinking about a project, Lenny will happily put you in touch with a past client so you can assess his workmanship for yourself.
What people are saying
“The whole team was brilliant. They were proactive, solution finders and everyone was invested in making the bungalow as good as it could be. They got dragged into all manner of decision-making but never seemed to mind.”
Mandy & Eddy
“Lenny and his team have given us exactly what we envisaged. I think it’s a bit out of the ordinary, and a lot of people have commented positively about it. We’re always happy to tell them who built it for us and have no hesitation in recommending Lenny.”
Mike & Caroline
“We highly recommend Lenny and his team. Throughout the entire process, there was clear and steady communication as well as sound advice. We actually really enjoyed having them here for nine-months!”
