Builders in Hackney

A father-and-son team on Hackney jobs.

Ask us about Hackney and you'll get a straight answer, because it's a spot we've been travelling to more and more as word has spread rather than a postcode we've bolted onto a map.

Hackney properties tend to be converted flats and maisonettes with shared outside space — which usually means thinking carefully about access, levels and drainage before anyone lifts a spade. We're local enough to come and look at it the same week.

The housing stock is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces plus 1930s semis, so we're usually dealing with London stock brick, side-return extensions, loft and kitchen refurbishments, small rear gardens re-laid in porcelain or reclaimed flags, and drainage that hasn't been touched in fifty years. Party Wall notices and Building Regs get sorted before the tools come out.

The jobs we're asked for most often around here are house extensions and patios and paving. Single and double-storey rear extensions, side returns, wrap-arounds and garage conversions, built from foundation to finish.

Being genuinely local to this part of London — Sutton and Shoreditch included — means we're not guessing at ground conditions or council requirements. Tell us what you're after in Hackney and we'll price it clearly.
