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.

We don't build estates. We build one
We take on a small number of new builds at a time — typically single-plot bespoke houses for owner-occupiers, or replacement dwellings on tight Cheshire village sites. Every project gets a named project manager, regular progress reports and a level of site attention you simply won't get from a volume housebuilder.
Our approach is traditional masonry, built properly, with the detailing that separates a considered home from a developer product — joinery-led internal finishes, real stone worktops, solid-oak staircases, and the kind of setting-out that makes a difference once the house is lived in.
Main contractor, start to finish
From the first planning submission to the final landscaping invoice. Every phase of a new build home delivered under one contract, with one project director.
- Planning & Design — Full householder or self-build planning applications, design statements and CAD drawing packs.
- Groundworks — Site strip, reduced dig, foundations — traditional strip, trenchfill, raft or piled to suit ground conditions.
- Superstructure — Traditional masonry cavity wall, timber frame or SIPs — depending on design and energy performance target.
- Roofing — Tiled pitched roofs, zinc standing seam, flat warm roofs with lantern rooflights — all detailed to match the design.
- Glazing & External Joinery — Aluminium or timber alu-clad windows, bi-fold and sliding glazing, solid-oak front doors.
- M&E — Full electrical installation, heating (ASHP or gas), MVHR systems, solar PV and battery storage where specified.
- Internal Fit-Out — Plastering, kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, flooring, decoration — the same standard as our kitchen and refurbishment jobs.
- Landscaping — Driveways, patios, boundary walling and terracing — handed over with the main house.

New Build Homes FAQs
What new build projects do you take on?
Single-plot bespoke homes, self-build main contractor packages, and replacement dwellings where an existing property is demolished and rebuilt. Every project is individually scoped and quoted.
Do I need to have planning already in place?
Ideally yes, but not always. Some clients come to us with outline consent and ask us to work up the full application alongside our architectural partners. Others have full approval already and need a contractor to price and build.
What build system do you use?
Traditional masonry cavity wall as standard — it's what the North West climate likes and what most Cheshire sites want to see. We'll build in timber frame, SIPs or ICF if the design requires it, but masonry is our default.
Do you handle NHBC or 10-year warranty?
Yes — we work with Premier Guarantee, LABC Warranty and NHBC depending on project and mortgage requirements. Warranty inspections coordinated throughout the build.
Can you coordinate the whole design-to-completion process?
Yes — we run an in-house architectural coordinator and trusted Cheshire practices. Structural engineering, M&E design, SAP assessments and building control all coordinated through us as main contractor.
How long does a new build take?
Lead times typically run from several weeks to several months, depending on the scope of the work — a bespoke home sits at the longer end, plus design and planning up front. We confirm the programme as part of the written quotation.
