Builders in Colchester

The homes and projects common in Colchester

Colchester's housing stock is unusually varied, and that shapes the work we do here. In the conservation areas around the historic centre you will find Georgian townhouses and older cottages that need sympathetic repair and sensitive updating. New Town is known for its Victorian terraces, where homeowners often want to extend to the rear, convert a loft or reconfigure narrow layouts for modern family life. Lexden and Mile End offer larger period and interwar houses that suit generous extensions, while Stanway, Highwoods, Greenstead and nearby Wivenhoe include plenty of later and modern homes that are ready for renovation and reworking.

Across all of these, the projects we are asked about most often are single and double storey extensions, full house renovations, loft conversions, kitchen and bathroom rebuilds, structural alterations and roof replacements. Where a project needs formal sign off, we coordinate building control and structural engineers so the technical side is handled properly.

The building and renovation services we offer locally

We work as one team across building, plumbing, electrics and finishing, so you deal with people who are accountable for the whole job rather than being passed between trades. That covers the full range of work a Colchester home is likely to need.

• House extensions that add space and light, from single storey rear builds to two storey additions and side returns. Take a look at our approach to house extensions.
• General renovations and full refurbishments, whether you are modernising a Victorian terrace or bringing a tired property back to life with our general renovation work.
• Roofing repairs and replacements suited to period and modern homes alike, handled through our roofing service.
• Plastering and finishing, including the careful plaster repairs that older Colchester homes so often need.
