A significant structural renovation of our downstairs — removing internal walls to create a large open-plan living space, a new downstairs WC, new flooring throughout, a brand-new kitchen and patio doors. The quality of workmanship has been outstanding and the project was completed within the agreed timescales. Any minor snags were dealt with promptly, often almost immediately.
We started 2025 with a 2-storey chimney being taken out. The lads did such a good job we gave them the rest of our renovation — two small extensions, a new downstairs toilet and kitchen, upstairs bathroom, a bedroom move and renovation, finishing with a full back garden renovation. We've had many comments on how good the work looks, especially the brickwork.
We've recently had a knock-through between the lounge and dining room along with other internal and brick work. We're extremely pleased with the quality — everything finished to a high standard, the team were professional, tidy and clearly took pride in what they were doing. Communication with Craig was great throughout and they stuck to the agreed timeline.
After getting a few quotes for our kitchen, we chose Cheshire Design & Build NW and I'm glad we did. They turned up when they said they would, kept us updated, and got on with the job without any fuss. The finished kitchen looks fantastic. Reliable, respectful, and they clearly take pride in their work.
Excellent. Craig replied immediately and viewed the job. A detailed price and timeline was sent. Once the job was underway problems occurred — not Craig's fault — new plans were made and the job was done. Communication was 100%, that's important for me, and a cleaner is sent in at the end of the work. A great job done. Would definitely recommend.
Brilliant company, amazing team. Came to fit a lintel for me and brick up the outside of the house. The job was finished quickly and efficiently — very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much, highly recommend.
This company has been the best to work with in terms of professionalism and quality — not like other companies I have worked with in the past. 10/10 service 👍
Highly recommend! Craig was very reliable and the quality of workmanship was outstanding! Thank you!
Great lads, very polite, showed up on time and did a great job.

A contractor your loss adjuster will accept
Insurance work isn't the same as private domestic work. The schedule has to be itemised in a format the loss adjuster recognises. The documentation has to support the claim file. The programme has to fit the insurer's tolerance for alternative-accommodation costs.
We deliver insurance reinstatement projects from emergency make-safe through full reconstruction — strip-out, drying, structural rebuild, M&E and final decoration — all signed off and documented for the insurer.
A full insurance-reinstatement contractor
From the first emergency make-safe to the final claim sign-off. Every phase delivered, documented and certified for the loss adjuster.
- Make-Safe & Emergency Cover — Boarding up, temporary roofing, structural propping and water-ingress prevention, treated as an emergency priority once we're instructed.
- Strip-Out & Documentation — Controlled strip-out with photographic and written records — to claim-file standard.
- Drying & Dehumidification — Dehumidifier installation, moisture monitoring and content drying for water-damaged properties.
- Structural Reinstatement — Re-roofing, re-flooring, structural rebuilds and joist replacement after fire, flood or impact damage.
- M&E Reinstatement — Full rewires, replumbs, central heating reinstallation and gas safety certification — NICEIC and Gas Safe.
- Plastering & Decoration — Replastering, repainting, flooring and finishing back to pre-loss condition or agreed insurer specification.
- Itemised Schedules — NRBS-format schedules of works, supplementary quotes and stage invoicing — built for insurer scrutiny.
- Workmanship Guarantee — Every reinstatement project handed over with our written workmanship guarantee, alongside the standard insurance defects period.

Insurance Works FAQs
Do you work directly with loss adjusters?
Yes — we provide itemised, NRBS-style schedules of works, photographic evidence and stage-by-stage documentation that loss adjusters and insurers expect. We can be appointed as policyholder's contractor or via a recommended-contractor instruction.
What types of damage do you handle?
Fire, smoke, flood, escape-of-water, storm, impact (vehicle, fallen tree) and subsidence-related works. We coordinate strip-out, drying, structural repairs, M&E reinstatement and full re-finishing.
Do you handle the strip-out and drying?
Yes — controlled strip-out, dehumidifier and drying-equipment hire, and content moving where required. We document the property condition before, during and after for the claim file.
How quickly can you start?
Emergency make-safe works are treated as a priority and arranged at short notice once we're instructed. Full reinstatement programmes start once the schedule of works is approved, subject to materials lead times.
Are you fully insured for this work?
Yes — we're fully insured, with public liability, employers' liability and professional indemnity cover in place. Individual certificates are available on request for loss adjusters or insurers.
