Why choose us
We are a family run business with a wide range of construction skills. We know that it can be daunting taking on building work, and trying to find a trusted builder is the first step. We have a glowing reputation and would be happy to put you in touch with customers who we’ve worked with on similar projects.
We source the materials
Some builders expect you to source the materials and arrange delivery. This can be extremely stressful, especially when you’re not sure what type of materials you need, or what type of brick matches your current ones. We’ll take the pressure off and help you source the right materials sympathetic with your home’s location and original period of construction. We won’t leave you out of the loop, you’ll be involved and we’ll talk you through our recommendations so you feel comfortable.
We focus on longevity and quality
We don’t want to invest our time nor yours in a project that, from using poor quality materials, will need repairs in a few years time. We look at eco-friendly materials that are better for your home as well as the environment. We also specialise in construction using traditional materials that are sustainable and eco-friendly, such as preferring lime plasters and renders to more contemporary materials (such as gypsum) that might not be compatible with older buildings.

What are renovation and restoration projects?
Renovations and refurbishments are the process of improving or updating a property. This can include anything from fixing minor repairs to making major structural changes. Renovations can be done to improve the appearance of a property, to make it more functional, or to increase its value.
Types of renovation projects we help with
Listed building renovations
We have a strong affinity for listed buildings, as well as structures situated in areas of exceptional natural beauty or conservation zones that could be subject to distinct planning limitations governing their restoration and advancement.
Vernacular building renovations
We are experts in renovating vernacular buildings. Vernacular buildings are architectural structures that reflect the traditional construction methods, materials, and design styles of a specific region or community. These buildings are typically crafted using local resources and techniques that have developed over time in response to the local climate, culture, and available materials. Examples of vernacular buildings include thatched cottages and terraced houses that pre-date the Victorian era.
Attic conversions and house extensions
Whether you have a traditional property or a new home, we can help with your attic conversion and house extensions. We can use traditional materials or the latest eco-friendly products to ensure your house improvements are made to last.
Replastering and rendering
Plastering an old home is something we specialise in. We offer lime plastering and rendering. Lime plastering and rendering are both traditional methods of applying a protective and decorative coating to walls and ceilings. Lime plaster is made from lime, sand, and water, while lime render is made from lime and sand.
Roof repairs and replacements
Roofs are an important part of any home, and they need to be regularly maintained to prevent leaks and other damage. If your roof is old or damaged, it may be time for a repair or replacement.
Types of refurbishment project we help with
Refurbishments are similar to renovations, but they typically focus on updating the interior of a property, rather than making major structural changes.
Kitchen and bathroom refurbishments
These are two of the most popular types of refurbishments, as they can significantly improve the look and functionality of a home. Kitchen and bathroom renovations can range from simple updates, such as new countertops and appliances, to more extensive remodels, such as adding a new bathroom or expanding the kitchen.
Interior Renovation
Interior renovation involves making improvements to the inside of a residential property. This can include:
Upgrading Kitchens
Replacing old appliances, cabinets, countertops, and flooring to create a modern and functional kitchen space.
Upgrading Bathrooms
Installing new fixtures, tiles, sinks, showers, and bathtubs to enhance the comfort and aesthetics of the bathrooms.
Upgrading Bedrooms
Enhancing the bedrooms with new flooring, lighting, paint, and possibly built-in storage solutions.
Upgrading Living Spaces
Improving the design and layout of living rooms, dining areas, and family rooms for better functionality and style.
Exterior Renovation
Exterior upgrades involve enhancing the outside appearance and functionality of the residential property. This can include:
Improving the Façade
Updating the exterior walls, cladding, and finishes to create a more attractive and welcoming look.
Roofing Improvements
Repairing or replacing the roof to address leaks, improve insulation, and extend the roof’s lifespan.
Window Upgrades
Installing new windows to enhance energy efficiency, aesthetics, and soundproofing.
Landscaping
Redesigning the outdoor areas by adding gardens, pathways, patios, and other landscaping elements to create a pleasant outdoor environment.
Whole House Refurbishment
A whole house refurbishment involves a comprehensive renovation of an entire residential property. This type of project often includes:
Structural Work
Addressing any structural issues, such as foundation repairs, wall reinforcement, and improving load-bearing elements.
Electrical and Plumbing Updates
Upgrading electrical wiring, outlets, switches, and plumbing systems to meet current safety and efficiency standards.
Interior and Exterior Upgrades
Incorporating both interior and exterior renovation elements as mentioned above to create a cohesive and updated living space.
Space Reconfiguration
Adjusting the layout and flow of the house to better suit the occupants’ needs and preferences.
Modernisation
Integrating modern technologies, energy-efficient systems, and smart home features for improved comfort and convenience.
