Town coverage

Builders covering Totnes and South Hams

Totnes is a historic riverside market town on the River Dart inside South Hams District Council's area, roughly 2 miles from Dartington. This page pulls together everything we do here rather than a single trade.

Across TQ9 we handle extensions, loft conversions, renovations, garage conversions, carpentry and controlled demolition. Totnes has a steep, narrow historic core with loading restrictions, so town-centre projects usually need a planned delivery window and compact plant.

The neighbourhoods and parishes we are in most often are Bridgetown, Follaton, Dartington, Berry Pomeroy, Harberton.

The housing stock we work with here

Totnes runs from listed and historic town-centre buildings through to converted mills and outbuildings. Age and construction type drive almost everything: foundation depth, insulation strategy, how walls behave when you open them up.

That is why we survey before quoting rather than pricing from a floor area.
