A South Devon builder built on 25 years of experience.
ADB and Partners Limited, trading as ADB SW, is a Paignton-based building company serving homeowners throughout Torbay and South Devon.
Anthony de Burgh — known to most as Tony — is the owner, director and hand at the tiller. ADB SW is his company, and every project runs through him personally. That's the difference clients notice first: one experienced builder taking responsibility from first phone call to final walk-through.
We specialise in home extensions, loft conversions, renovations, refurbishments, garage conversions, carpentry and general building works. With over 25 years of construction industry experience behind us, we bring reliable workmanship, professional project management and the kind of clear, honest communication that makes a large build feel manageable.
We're structured to handle the projects most local trades shy away from — full-house refurbishments, structural alterations, extensions that need to work with existing older buildings — while keeping the day-to-day tidy, respectful of your home and on time.

Anthony de Burgh
Anthony founded ADB SW and personally leads every project. His clients repeatedly highlight his "can-do" attitude, clear communication and hands-on approach — you're never handed off to a stranger.
Carpenters, plasterers, groundworkers and fit-out specialists — a settled team who work with Anthony regularly.
We're proud to train the next generation of Devon builders under experienced supervision on every site.
Established local electricians, plumbers and structural engineers we've worked with for years.
Whoever's on site, communication about your project always comes back through Anthony.
Do it once, do it properly
Belt-and-braces workmanship using quality materials — the phrase clients keep using about our work.
Talk straight, plan clearly
Detailed quotes, realistic timelines, and no surprises halfway through the job.
Respect the home
Tidy sites, protected floors, minimal disruption — because you still have to live there.
"Tony de Burgh was exceptional. He responded to my Checkatrade request, came over and had a thorough inspection of what was required, and had a real 'can do' attitude whereas others were far more cagey. His communication was excellent throughout which gave me a high degree of confidence. His staff worked well, including apprentices who received appropriate supervision. Our kitchen fitter commented on the high quality of plastering that had been done. Tony delivers and he has a team at his disposal that can achieve what you want them to do. I would use ADB SW again."
