What we do
One firm for the whole job
Most builders want the big jobs and pass on the rest. We do both — and where a job needs a certified electrician or plumber, we bring in trades we have used for years and manage them ourselves. One firm, every trade, one price.
Major works

Full house renovations, kitchens, bathrooms and period property work. Whole-property refurbs handled as one programme.
New builds
Ground-up residential builds and small developments, managed from site set-up through to handover.
Groundworks & structural
Foundations, drainage, underpinning, steel beam installation and load-bearing alterations, with structural sign-off arranged.
Repairs & finishing
Smaller jobs, same standardRoofing
Roof repairs, re-tiling, flat roof replacement, leaks traced and fixed, ridge and valley work.

Commercial fit-outs
Pubs, bars and small commercial premises — joinery, bar builds, flooring and decoration, programmed around your opening hours so you stay trading.
Electrics & plumbing
Handled by certified, fully qualified subcontractors we have worked with for years — arranged, scheduled and managed as part of your job.
Why us
Hiring a builder shouldn't feel like a gamble
Everyone has heard the story about the builder who took the deposit and disappeared. Here is exactly how we work, so you can judge us before you commit to anything.
We turn up when we say
A start date is agreed in writing and we work to it. If something moves — weather, materials, building control — you hear it from us first, not after the fact.
Fixed price, itemised
Your quote breaks down labour, materials and timescales. No day-rate creep and no "while we were in there" invoices at the end.
Staged payments
You pay against completed stages, not up front. Nobody should be asked to hand over thousands before a wall is touched.
Paperwork handled
Building regulations, structural calculations and building control inspections arranged and dealt with as part of the job.
References, gladly
Ask and we will give you addresses of recent work locally and the customers' numbers. Go and look at it.
Guaranteed for 12 months
If something fails because of how we fitted it, we come back and put it right at no cost for a full year. We are ten minutes away, and small jobs later on get the same attention as the big one.
How it works
From first call to final sign-off
01
Tell us what you need
Ring, or send the form with a few details and photos if you have them. We will tell you honestly whether it is a job for us.
02
Free site visit
We come out at a time that suits, measure up, talk through options and flag anything that will affect cost — drains, levels, structure, access.
03
Written fixed-price quote
An itemised quote with a realistic programme, usually within a few days. No pressure and no obligation.
04
Dates, drawings and approvals
Start date confirmed, materials ordered, and any building control or structural work arranged before we break ground.
05
Build, with weekly updates
Site kept tidy and secure, neighbours considered, and a straight answer every week on where the job is against the programme.
06
Sign-off and guarantee
We walk the job with you, fix the snag list, clear the site and hand over certificates and product warranties. Your 12-month workmanship guarantee starts here.
Recent work
The proof is on the ground
Real jobs, our own photographs. Where we have the before shot as well, it's next to the after — because on a lot of this work the before is the reason someone picked up the phone.
House re-clad, roof and windows
Whole front elevation stripped and re-clad, roof works and new windows throughout. Scaffold up in the summer, finished and cleared by the autumn.
Pub bar — commercial fit-out
Bar rebuilt and refinished with a solid oak top, panelled walls and a printed front, worked around the pub's opening hours.
Kitchen refit
Full kitchen refit with the chimney breast opened up and the brickwork left exposed.
Wall rebuilt, new windows, new guttering
Rotten timber frames and failing brickwork taken out, wall rebuilt, new windows fitted and the whole run of guttering and fascia replaced.
Roof edge stripped and renewed
Perished felt, slipped slates and rotten timber at the verge. Stripped back, made good, new fascia, hopper and downpipe.
Shower room
Small bathroom stripped and refitted — shower enclosure, tiling, flooring and towel rail.
Sandstone patio
Ground dug out, base laid and Indian sandstone set with a curved edge to follow the lawn.
New flooring throughout
Rooms taken back to bare subfloor, made level, and new flooring laid through.
Bar front going on
The collage front being applied by hand, panel by panel.
Checking us out
Go and look at the work
The best way to judge a builder isn't a quote they've typed onto their own website. It's a finished job, and the person who paid for it.
Ask us and we will give you:
- Addresses of recent work near you, so you can drive past and look at it
- The names and numbers of those customers, so you can ring and ask what we were like
- Our insurance certificate, before you commit to anything

Straight answers
Questions we get asked
Do you charge for a quote?
No. The site visit and the written quote are free, and there is no obligation afterwards. If we are not the right firm for the job we will say so.
Are you insured?
Yes — public liability insurance is in place on every job and we are happy to send the certificate through before you commit to anything.
How do payments work?
Payments are staged against completed work, agreed in the quote before we start. We do not ask for large deposits before work begins.
Do you handle building regulations?
Yes. Structural calculations, building control applications and inspections are arranged as part of the job on any work that needs them.
What is guaranteed, and for how long?
Our own workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off — if something fails because of how we fitted it, we come back and put it right at no cost. Materials and fittings carry their manufacturer's own warranties, and we hand that paperwork to you at handover. Separately from any guarantee, you have six years under the Limitation Act to raise a problem with the work.
How long does an extension take?
It depends on size, ground conditions and approvals, but most single storey extensions run to a few months on site. You get a realistic programme with your quote, not an optimistic one.
Will you do the small jobs?
Yes. Roof repairs, guttering, plastering, decorating and flooring are all part of what we do, not favours squeezed in around bigger work.
