Everything under one roof

One team from first drawing to final coat of paint — so there's no subcontractor roulette and no one passing the blame.

Extensions

Single and double-storey extensions, wrap-arounds and garage conversions — designed to look like they were always there.

Renovations

Full house refurbishments and period restorations — rewires, replastering, flooring and finishes, managed end to end.

Kitchens

Design, supply and fit — including the plastering, electrics, plumbing and tiling, so it's one price and one team.

Bathrooms

Complete bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms — full installations, properly tanked and finished to last.

Carpentry

Doors, skirting and architrave, stud walls, decking and roofing timbers — second-fix carpentry finished properly.

Groundworks & structural

Foundations, drainage, steel beams, knock-throughs and garden rooms — the structural work done right first time.

How we work

No vague estimates, no vanishing acts. Four straightforward stages, so you always know where you stand.

Free site visit

We come out, look at the job properly and talk through what you actually want — no charge, no pressure.

Fixed written quote

A clear price broken down by stage, with a start date and a realistic schedule. What we quote is what you pay.

We build

One dedicated team, a tidy site and a weekly update — so you're never left wondering what's happening.

Sign-off & guarantee

We walk the job with you, sort any snags, and hand over certificates plus our workmanship guarantee.

Why Stour Build

The bit most builders get wrong

Everyone can lay bricks. What people actually want is to be told the truth about cost, to know who's turning up on Monday, and to have their house left clean at the end of it.

  • One team, start to finishOur own trades, not a rotating cast of subbies. You'll know everyone in your house by name.
  • We leave it cleaner than we found itDust sheets down, site swept daily, skip gone the day we finish.
  • Guaranteed, insured, certificatedFull public liability cover, building regs sign-off and a workmanship guarantee in writing.

Questions, answered

Do you charge for quotes?

No. We visit, talk through what you want and give you a detailed written quote free of charge, with no obligation.

How much does an extension cost?

It depends on size, spec and groundworks, so we never quote blind. After a site visit you'll get a fixed written price broken down by stage, so you can see exactly what you're paying for.

Do you handle planning permission and building regs?

Yes. We work with architects and building control throughout, and can manage drawings, planning applications and sign-off so you're not left chasing paperwork.

Are you insured?

Yes — we carry full public liability insurance and all work is completed to current building regulations. Certificates are available on request.

How long will my project take?

A kitchen or bathroom is typically one to three weeks; a single-storey extension around eight to twelve weeks. You'll get a written schedule before we start and regular updates throughout.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. All our workmanship is guaranteed, and manufacturer warranties on materials are passed to you on completion.
