Building, Plumbing, Electrical & Renovation Services in Colchester
Work across Colchester, old and new
Britain’s oldest recorded town became a city in 2022, and its homes span almost every era. There are medieval and Georgian buildings in the Dutch Quarter and around the town centre, Victorian terraces near the station, large interwar and post-war suburbs such as Lexden and Mile End, and new developments on the edges of the city.
The older terraces often need a new bathroom alongside updated pipework and electrics, which is where having every trade in one team pays off. In the suburbs, kitchen-diner extensions and ensuites are common requests. Our guide to wet rooms and shower enclosures was written with Colchester and the nearby coast in mind, where ventilation matters more than most people expect.
Colchester also has a large rental market, from family lets to student houses near the university. We carry out EICRs and remedial work for landlords and can refresh properties between tenancies. We cover the surrounding villages too, including Stanway, Great Horkesley, West Bergholt and Great Tey.
