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.

Not a house type. Your house
A custom home isn't picked from a brochure of standard types — it's designed around your plot, your brief and your budget, then built by the team that designed it. We take a small number of one-off homes at a time, with in-house architectural design, planning and Building Regulations, so the house you move into is the house you designed.
Traditional masonry built properly, with the detailing — joinery-led finishes, real stone, considered setting-out — that separates a considered home from a developer product.
Designed and built as one
- Architectural design — concept to construction drawings, produced in-house around your brief.
- Planning & Building Regs — full applications and submissions handled in-house.
- Groundworks & superstructure — foundations to suit the ground, masonry, timber frame or SIPs.
- Full fit-out — kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, M&E and finishes to the same standard as our renovation work.
Part of our home builder service — see also new build homes and architectural design.

Custom Home Building FAQs
How is a custom home different from a standard new build?
A custom home is designed from scratch around your plot, brief and lifestyle, rather than adapted from a house-builder's standard type. We design and build it as one team, so nothing is lost between the drawing and the build.
Do you design it as well as build it?
Yes — architectural design, planning and Building Regulations are all handled in-house, then the same team builds it. That's the point of a design-to-build service.
Do I need to own the plot already?
Ideally yes, or be close to purchase. A feasibility study can tell you what a plot will take before you commit to buying it.
Where do you build custom homes?
Across Cheshire and Greater Manchester — including Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Knutsford, Prestbury, Warrington and Hale.
