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.

Sometimes the plot is the only thing worth keeping
When a house is tired, badly laid out or simply in the wrong shape for how you want to live — and renovation would be throwing good money after bad — a replacement dwelling is often the better answer. We demolish the existing property and build a bespoke new home in its place, handling planning, design and the build from one accountable team.
Knock-down-and-rebuild is its own discipline — demolition, planning policy and the new build all have to line up. We coordinate the lot.
From demolition to handover
- Planning — replacement-dwelling applications and policy navigation handled in-house.
- Demolition & groundworks — safe demolition, site clearance and new foundations.
- New build — a bespoke home designed around the plot, to your brief and budget.
- Full fit-out — finished to the same standard as our renovation and new build work.
Part of our home builder service — see also custom home building and feasibility studies.

Replacement Dwelling FAQs
Is a replacement dwelling better than renovating?
It depends on the existing house. Where renovation means fighting a poor layout, failing structure or planning constraints, a replacement dwelling can deliver exactly the home you want for comparable money. A feasibility study helps you decide.
Do I need planning permission to knock down and rebuild?
Usually yes — a replacement dwelling needs planning permission, and there are policy rules about the size of the replacement relative to the original. We handle the application and navigate the policy in-house.
Can you handle the demolition too?
Yes — safe demolition, site clearance and groundworks are part of the package, ahead of the new build.
