Serving Windermere, the Lake District and surrounding areas
We build across Penrith, from Eamont Bridge and Tirril to Greystoke and Askham, with practical experience and local knowledge on every project.
Penrith sits just outside the Lake District, surrounded by open farmland, traditional villages and historic sandstone buildings. From the market town centre and Eamont Bridge to Greystoke and Askham in the countryside, the area includes a varied mix of town houses, rural homes, farms, guest houses and holiday accommodation.
The setting has a strong influence on building work here. Conservation areas, narrow town streets and properties close to the Eamont or local becks can affect access, groundworks, drainage and construction planning. Traditional sandstone walls, slate roofs and established period features also need careful consideration when designing extensions or improving existing buildings.
Most of Penrith lies outside the National Park, with planning handled by Westmorland and Furness Council, but proposals need to respect the local character and buildings. We can help with the early planning and design stages, as well as the building work itself.
Town plots need planned access, storage, protection and drainage.
Near rivers or local becks, we plan levels, drainage and flood resilience from the start.
Local sandstone, slate and traditional details guide how we extend and renovate.
Work can be phased to limit disruption and have rooms ready for guests.
Single and two-storey extensions in stone, slate and glass, built to sit naturally against a Lakeland house.
Low-energy extensions with high insulation, airtightness and glazing placed for the light, not the heat loss.
Insulated garden offices, studios and rooms for guests, clad in cedar or larch and built on a proper base.
New homes, replacement dwellings, garages and outbuildings, from groundworks to the finished building.
Measured surveys, plans, elevations and 3D drawings, and the planning application that goes with them.
Timber jetties, landing stages and lakeshore decking, built for water levels that rise and fall.
Steel-framed buildings, workshops, hospitality and holiday-let work for Lake District businesses.
Careful barn conversions, character homes, holiday lets and studios for Lake District landowners.
Practical agricultural buildings, livestock sheds, stables and storage for Lake District farmers.
Extensions, bedrooms, restaurants, spa facilities and refurbishments for Lake District hoteliers.

Yes. Near the Eamont, the Petteril or local becks, we plan floor levels, drainage and flood resilience from the start. We also check the site for any flood risk or consent requirements before work begins.
Most of Penrith falls under Westmorland and Furness Council, which handles planning and building control. Some nearby areas lie inside the Lake District National Park, which has its own planning authority. We prepare the drawings and the application for you.
Yes. We match local sandstone, slate and period details so extensions and renovations suit the existing building. Where a property is listed or in a conservation area, we plan the work around the extra consents.
