Where We Work Across Devon & Wiltshire
We provide our full range of residential and commercial building services across the counties.

Exmouth
Building on the gateway to the Jurassic Coast requires a specific understanding of environments. In Exmouth, we use salt-resistant materials and high-performance renders that can withstand the exposed conditions. From modernising properties in Littleham to delivering contemporary extensions in Halsdon.

Exeter
As Exeter continues its growth as a leading regional hub, we provide the technical expertise required for high-density urban builds and sophisticated home modernisations. Whether we are working in St Leonard’s, Pennsylvania, or the city centre, we bring a precision-led approach to every urban project.

Salisbury
Working within the shadow of the UK’s tallest spire requires a deep respect for history. In Salisbury, our team excels in the delicate balance of restoring medieval and Georgian fabric while integrating modern structural integrity. We have extensive experience navigating the strict conservation area requirements.
