Building work in Stamford
Whether you are improving the front of the house, opening up the kitchen or reworking the whole plot, we can take it from first visit to finished.
Everything we build and lay in Stamford
Our work falls into two connected halves.
Building work. Single and double storey house extensions, kitchen and rear-return extensions, garage conversions and porches — all built to Building Regulations and inspected by Local Authority Building Control. On Stamford's stone and conservation-area properties we match materials and work within the planning constraints rather than around them.
Driveways, patios and gardens. Resin bound and block paved driveways, porcelain and natural stone patios, full landscaping and garden transformations, fencing and sleeper walls. Permeable surfacing as standard, so drainage rules are met without a second thought.
Stamford & villages we cover
We work throughout Stamford and the surrounding villages including Ryhall, Great & Little Casterton, Tinwell, Barnack, Uffington, Collyweston and Easton on the Hill.
Prices, planning and building control in Stamford
Stamford was the first conservation area in Britain, designated in 1967, and since December 2018 an Article 4 direction across the whole conservation area removes permitted development for hard surfaces, walls, gates and fences, porches and extensions where they face a road, footpath or open space. In practice, most front driveway and boundary work in the conservation area needs planning permission, and the council's appraisal favours York stone, granite setts and natural materials over concrete paving and tarmac.

“These guys fitted our job in at short notice, did a great job despite the harsh weather. We had great communication throughout the project as it was not quite as simple as we first thought. We definitely recommend them and will be using them for future projects”
