Builders in Headcorn

Across Headcorn (TN27) we mostly handle cottage and period renovations, extensions and bathroom refits. Headcorn is Wealden village property, frequently timber framed and rarely square, which means everything is scribed and fitted to what is actually there rather than assumed. Every job starts with a free look at the actual property rather than a price given over the phone, because the same job can cost very different amounts depending on what is already there.

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Headcorn is about 14 km from us in Maidstone, well inside the hour we cover, and it is a run we make as a matter of course rather than treating it as an extra.

Yes. Headcorn is Wealden village property, often timber framed and rarely square, which is exactly the kind of job that needs scribing rather than forcing. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done around High Street when you get in touch, and to explain how we would approach yours.

Yes, and it changes how the job is built. A lot of Headcorn property is old, and in an old house nothing is square, floors move, walls are often soft or timber framed, and what is behind the plaster is rarely what you expect. Units and partitions get scribed rather than forced, fixings are chosen for what they are going into, and where a building is listed or in a conservation area we work to what has actually been consented. It takes more care and it is the difference between a job that looks right and one that does not.

In most cases yes, and it is how the majority of our Headcorn jobs are done. Bathrooms and kitchens mean a few awkward days without that room, and extensions are built largely outside the house until the break-through. We keep dust sheets and screens up, clean down at the end of each day and tell you at the start of each week which parts of the house are affected.

Usually within a week, and often sooner. Quotes in Headcorn are free and carry no obligation, and you get a written price broken down by stage so you can see what the building work, the plumbing, the electrics and the finishes each cost, rather than a single number with nothing behind it.

Anything from a single bathroom or a bit of brickwork up to a full house renovation or a two storey extension. Smaller jobs in Headcorn get the same survey, the same written quotation and the same standards on site as the big ones, and they are genuinely welcome rather than being turned away.
