Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Around Moulsham and the streets near the centre. Lath-and-plaster ceilings, original floorboards worth saving and old wiring that needs replacing before anything cosmetic.

Builders in Chelmsford.
We work across Chelmsford every week, from family homes off Springfield Road to new builds out toward Great Baddow.
// On the ground
Local crew, local knowledge.
If you are looking for builders in Chelmsford who will turn up when they say, quote a fixed price and see the job through, that is what we do. Chelmsford is our home patch, so most of our renovation, extension and kitchen work is within twenty minutes of the city centre.
We work as residential building contractors, which means one crew covers the whole job: structural work, electrics, plumbing, plastering, joinery and decoration. You get one quote, one programme and one person to call, instead of chasing four separate trades.
Most Chelmsford jobs we take on are house renovations, kitchen-diner knock-throughs and single-storey rear extensions, with driveways and patios to finish off the outside.
Chelmsford is our home patch. Most of the crew live within fifteen minutes of the city centre, so getting on site early isn't a stretch. Whether it's a kitchen rip out in Moulsham or a full renovation in Writtle, we know the area, the parking, and the local building control office by name.

// The houses we work on
Homes in Chelmsford, and what they need.
Post-war semis
Springfield, Great Baddow and Broomfield. Ideal for a knock-through into a kitchen-diner, though nearly always with a steel and a Building Control notice.
Newer estates
Beaulieu, Channels and the north-east of the city. Mostly kitchen upgrades, garden rooms, patios and driveway extensions.
Village homes
Writtle, Boreham and Galleywood. Older cottages and larger detached homes where materials and detailing matter more.

// Planning and Building Control
Planning in Chelmsford.
Planning and Building Control in Chelmsford go through Chelmsford City Council. Internal renovations rarely need planning, but structural work needs Building Control, and Writtle and parts of the city centre are conservation areas with tighter rules on windows, extensions and boundary changes. We check before we quote.
