Before & After

The same back garden, a few weeks apart

A tired rear of a semi — old lean-to, patched render, mud where a patio should be — turned into a two-storey extension with bi-fold doors and a proper patio.

This is the bread and butter of what we do: ordinary houses, transformed properly.

Refurbishments

We're not scared of the ugly stage

Every proper refurb goes through this — stripped out, back to brick, then rebuilt right. Here's what honest progress looks like.

Workmanship

The difference is in the finish.

Anyone can start a job. We're judged on how we end one — clean lines, tidy sites, and a final walk-through where nothing needs explaining away.

Our Process

Four steps, no moving goalposts

02

Written Quote

A clear, itemised, fixed quote — what's included, what it costs and how long it will take.

A tidy, respectful site and regular updates. Anything unexpected is discussed with you before we act on it.

04

Handover

A full walk-through together, snagging completed, and the property left clean and ready to live in.

Why Housewright

The old word for a proper craftsman

A housewright was the craftsman trusted to build houses by hand — measured, square and made to last. Five hundred years on, that's still the standard we work to.
