26 years as general builders including 4 years as specialist insulation fitters.

It depends on the work. General building works come with a 12 month guarantee but external wall insulation has a 25 year guarantee. We will discuss this during the initial design stage for confirmation of what is offered.

It is different every week. On any one day we could be fitting a new kitchen, installing loft insulation or laying a patio. We have completed over 120 full house renovations over the years and have specialised more in retrofit insulation recently. I especially like being able to install a range of insulation that will save our clients substantial sums of money on their fuel bills. This is increasingly important with the way fuel costs have risen recently and the critical need to reduce the carbon output from our homes.

I got into property development on leaving the army in 1993. Initially I used contractors to do most of the work but quickly got tired of dealing with unreliable builders who did a poor quality job. As a result of this I went on various training courses so I could do it myself. As the development business grew I employed 1 or 2 people to help and eventually formed a building company to run projects for other clients.

We are fairly unique in that all my staff are full time employed by me, some being with me for over 15 years. We are a small multi-skilled team and can do most things in house. I recently bought a large warehouse in central Birkenhead and we can buy materials in bulk to help keep costs down for our clients. As a locally based company we rely on our good name to keep the business coming in and will do what we have to to deliver exceptional customer service.

We can discuss project outlines online but need to complete a site visit to accurately assess what can be done and the likely costs.

We did have detailed protocols in place during the covid period but have now returned to normal working practices. We are very happy to wear masks in clients houses if requested.
