Builders in St Albans
Second only to Luton for the amount of work we do, and a very different kind of housing stock.
St Albans has a lot of period property, and period property needs building work done sympathetically. Victorian and Edwardian houses with original brickwork and slate roofs, conservation areas around the city centre and the Abbey, and plenty of properties where what you use and how you detail it matters as much as the structure underneath.
That shows up most in roofing and extensions. A natural slate re-roof on a period house is a different job to a concrete tile roof on a modern semi, and we quote it as one. Rear extensions and side returns on the older terraces need brickwork that ties into what's there rather than announcing itself in a different colour.
Planning is tighter here than in some neighbouring areas, particularly inside conservation areas where permitted development rights can be restricted. We'll tell you at the first visit whether what you want is likely to need an application, before you spend money on drawings for something that won't get through.
Why one team matters
Every trade is ours — brickwork, carpentry, roofing, plumbing, electrics, plastering and landscaping. Nothing falls between contractors, and one person is accountable for the whole job.
