We were extremely pleased with the standard, quality and attention to detail of the work completed by Alan and his team.  Any issues were quickly dealt with and Alan was more than happy to explain things to me as they went along. We found that the work was conducted in a professional and friendly manner at all times whilst taking into consideration our needs and more importantly that of our very young child.
After a recommendation from a friend we chose Alan Wright to extend our home to create extra space at the back and to undertake the conversion of our garage into a study and utility room, in addition to many internal alterations.  We were extremely pleased with the standard, quality and attention to detail of the work completed by Alan and his team.  Any issues were quickly dealt with and Alan was more than happy to explain things to me as they went along. Everyone involved was very easy to get along with and I loved the fact that they vacuumed up after themselves daily!  We found that the work was conducted in a professional and friendly manner at all times whilst taking into consideration our needs and more importantly that of our very young child.
Therefore, we not hesitate to recommend Alan to our friends for their building work and would definitely use Alan and his team again should the need arise.

The building operations were carried out in an efficient manner, with Alan controlling his workforce and material suppliers from start to finish in a very professional manner. I particularly liked his attention to detail with the construction, and would not hesitate to use him for future work, or in recommending his company to others.
Last year I required a building job to be carried out at my residence. Alan’s company was recommended to me, so I asked him and two other builders to supply an estimate for the works.
The quotation received from Alan was competitive and I sent his company the order.
Alan visited my house and together we formulated a programme for the works.

In recent years, Alan has installed a new kitchen and added a conservatory to our 1960s property, again involving the removal of a supporting wall; refurbished a family bathroom to maximize the available space and created a downstairs shower room. Due to his professional approach, Alan enjoys a good relationship with Local Authority Building Control officers and ensures all his work is compliant with current Building Regulations. We have recommended Alan to several of our friends and would not hesitate to do so in the future.
Over the past 15 years Alan has carried out a number of building projects for us on two different properties.
On our terraced period property, he completed a loft conversion and the removal of a supporting wall and chimney breast to create a large kitchen/dining area. Both these projects involved co-operation with the adjacent properties which shared a party wall. Alan’s attention to detail meant that all the new woodwork and staircases were in sympathy with the original building.

Alan works alongside a network of professionals in allied trades meaning that he can draw on specialist skills when required and co-ordinate all the trades to minimize delay. Examples of this in our own  experience being the design and installation of our kitchens and conservatory.
We have recommended Alan to several of our friends and would not hesitate to do so in the future. He is reliable, willing to correct any problems arising from completed work and considerate towards the needs of his clients. A particular example of this being our experience of having building work carried out in a house with a young family when we were always comfortable having him around our children.

Mr. & Mrs. J. Elliot

Alan and his team turned up on the agreed date, and every day, weekend and bank holiday for 8 months until the job was complete. As and when problems arose (and they always do), a solution was always calmly and carefully worked out. Any variances that would affect our budget were always quoted for beforehand, and our total spend with Alan was almost exactly to his original quotation.
Our development was a 1930’s detached house in an acre of garden. Almost untouched since it was built, planning was to extend to one side, remove the roof and add another floor and to incorporate and convert a detached garage. In the process, all internal walls and floors would be removed and replaced, two new staircases installed, and the whole rewired, replumbed, replastered, and new windows throughout. In short, a lot easier to knock it down and start again!
The quote was not the most expensive, nor the cheapest,  but from the first meeting we got on fantastically well with Alan. He was professional, articulate and very straightforward, and we were totally confident in giving him the contract.

Nothing was too much trouble and the skill and craftsmanship that went into the project resulted in a beautifully built and finished house. We have to be two of the very few people that really missed our builders when they left!
We have completed many projects over the years but Alan and his men are by far the best team we have ever worked with and we would not hesitate for a moment in recommending him to anyone.

Our Process

    Initial Consultation

    We begin by listening. In your initial consultation, we take time to understand your goals, budget, and vision for the project. Whether you have detailed plans or just an idea, this stage sets the foundation for everything that follows.

    Design Concept

    Our team develops a design concept tailored to your needs. We consider layout, functionality, and aesthetics — presenting you with a clear vision for your project. We’ll collaborate with you to refine every detail until the concept feels just right.

    Building Regulations Package

    Once the design is approved, we prepare a comprehensive package for building regulations approval. This includes detailed technical drawings and specifications, ensuring the project meets all required standards and passes smoothly through local authority checks.

    Quotation

    With the approved design and specification in hand, we provide a detailed, transparent quotation. This gives you a clear breakdown of costs, timelines, and scope — no hidden surprises, just a professional proposal you can trust.

    Construction & Sign-off

    From groundworks to final finishes, we handle every stage of the build. Our team manages the entire construction process with precision, keeping you updated and the site running smoothly. Quality, safety, and efficiency guide everything we do.

    When the work is complete, we walk you through the finished project to ensure every detail meets your expectations. Once you’re fully satisfied, we formally sign off — and leave you with a space that’s ready to enjoy.
