Frequently asked questions.

Do you work on listed buildings and in conservation areas?+
Yes — we're experienced with Grade II listed and period properties, using traditional methods (lime plaster and mortar, repointing, restoring original features) and working closely with conservation officers. Our restoration of a 1760 cottage in Inkberrow is a good example of that work.
Which areas do you cover?+
We're based in Worcestershire and work across Bromsgrove, Redditch, Droitwich Spa, Barnt Green, Alvechurch and the surrounding villages and West Midlands.
Do you provide project management and work with architects?+
Yes — John and Jack personally manage every project and offer a bespoke project management service, working alongside architects and other contractors.
Are you qualified and insured?+
Yes — our qualifications include CITB, CIOB, Guild of Bricklayers (Master), City & Guilds, SMSTS and UKATA, and we work fully within CDM 2015 health & safety regulations.
Do you offer free quotes?+
Yes — request a free, no-obligation quote via our contact form or by calling 01527 541821.
