Old Whittington, Nr Chesterfield

Bob and Sue Smith built their new home in the rear garden of their father’s house.

After a protracted planning application, work started in July 2020. This was an extremely tight site with limited access requiring careful management of materials deliveries. Because of the ground conditions, special piled foundations were required, this is masonry construction with beam and block concrete ground and first floors and solid walls throughout. Reclaimed natural stone walls, clay pantiles and timber engineered fully finished windows and doors giving the appearance that this dwelling was built a few years ago but has all the internal features of a modern up to date, energy efficient home.

Our Clients moved into their new home 8 months after Team Ratcliffe started on site and are thoroughly delighted as can be seen by their kind testimonial below.

Here’s what we did

"They delivered a quality build, on time, and on budget."

"If you get the chance to work with Christian Ratcliffe and his team, don't hesitate! They will deliver a quality build, and work hard to bring projects in on time, and on budget. The team is reliable, approachable and will get things done. It's refreshing to work with people who adopt a "can do" mentality. We have just completed our 4th self-build, and we can honestly say that it's been our best experience to date. Now that we know a good, reliable builder, we may consider a 5th."
