Week 0

Three dark rooms and a 1970s kitchen.

Cobham — a six-bedroom family house that had not been touched since 1978.

Week 11

Roof off, steels in, rear wall gone.

The whole back of the house open to the weather for nine days. This is the part nobody photographs.

Week 26

One room, eleven metres long, facing the garden.

Ceiling raised, rear elevation fully glazed. Six months, on budget.

Who you'll be dealing with

I started this because I was tired of clients being left in the dark.

I trained as a carpenter, ran sites for fifteen years, and watched the same thing happen on nearly every job — a client signs off a design, then spends six months chasing people for answers.

Holt & Co. runs differently. You get one point of contact, a fixed price before we lift a tool, and a weekly update with photographs whether there is good news or not. Twelve of our trades are in-house, so when something needs fixing we are not waiting on somebody else's diary.

How it works

Four stages. No surprises.

You will know the final figure before the first wall comes down, and you will know what is happening every Friday until we hand the keys back.

Stage 01

Consultation

Two hours at your house, walking the space and talking about how you actually live in it.

Stage 02

Design & costing

Drawings, 3D visuals and a fixed price broken down line by line. Nothing is hidden in a contingency.

Stage 03

Build

One site manager, in-house trades, and a photographed progress report every Friday afternoon.

Stage 04

Handover

Deep clean, full snagging walk-through and a two-year workmanship guarantee in writing.

They handed the house back three days early, and cleaner than they found it.
