1960s and 70s new town homes
Laindon, Pitsea and Vange. Rewires, replastering and knock-throughs before any cosmetic work.
// SS13 to SS16
Basildon, Billericay and Wickford are all on our regular run. Same crew, same standards, no surprises on the invoice.
// On the ground
We are builders and residential contractors working across Basildon, Billericay, Wickford, Laindon, Pitsea and Vange. Most of our work here is renovations, kitchen-diner knock-throughs, extensions and new driveways.
A lot of Basildon housing went up quickly as part of the new town, so the layouts are often dated but the structure is straightforward to open up. That makes it one of the best areas in Essex for getting real value out of a renovation.
One crew handles every core trade, you get a fixed written quote before we start, and there is no call-out fee for a site visit.
A lot of the homes around Basildon were built in a hurry in the 60s and 70s, which means there's always something interesting hiding behind the plasterboard. We've handled it all, from rewires and replastering to knocking through for proper open-plan kitchens. Local team, local prices, no call-out fees.

// Guide prices, 2026. Your quote is fixed once we've seen the property.
// Planning and Building Control
Basildon, Billericay and Wickford all fall under Basildon Borough Council for planning and Building Control. Billericay's high street is a conservation area, and a non-permeable front driveway over 5 square metres needs planning, so we use a permeable spec by default.
// What we do
// Basildon FAQ
Yes. We cover the whole SS13 to SS16 area, plus Billericay, Wickford, Laindon, Pitsea and Vange.
