About us
About Humphrey Homes
Welcome to our journey at Humphrey Homes! Established in 2021, we are a recent start-up with a unique foundation that sets us apart. Our founder, Edward, possesses over 7 years of hands-on experience in the construction industry, honed through a one-of-a-kind apprenticeship under the guidance of a locally renowned “old school” builder boasting an impressive 45 years of expertise.
Unlike conventional routes, Edward’s apprenticeship wasn’t tied to formal certifications or nationally recognised institutions. In a world where logos and credentials often adorn websites, we take pride in the authenticity of our story. Our confidence in Edward’s skill set stems from the comprehensive range of construction skills he acquired through years of dedicated on-the-job training. While our website might lack the usual badges, we assure you that our craftsmanship speaks volumes.
Word of mouth has been our driving force, and Edward’s success in building the company, even amidst the challenges of a pandemic-hit start, is a testament to his undeniable talent and dedication. Embracing the concept of self-directed Continuing Professional Development (CPD), Ed continually refines his expertise and stays up-to-date with industry trends, reflecting our commitment to excellence.
Committed to Eco-friendly construction
At Humphrey Homes, our focus lies in sustainable and eco-friendly construction, specialising in traditional materials that stand the test of time. We have a penchant for lime plasters and renders, favored over contemporary counterparts like gypsum, ensuring compatibility with older structures. Our dedication to preservation is unwavering, and we take a personalised approach to material recommendations and sourcing, placing your project’s integrity at the forefront.
Responsible practices
We believe in responsible practices. Therefore, if a customer’s request could compromise a building’s fabric or integrity, potentially impacting its longevity, we won’t hesitate to decline the project. We value transparency and honesty, guaranteeing that the work we undertake aligns seamlessly with our principles.
Join us on this extraordinary journey as we marry time-tested craftsmanship with a modern approach to construction, all while prioritising the sustainability and integrity of our built environment.
