Yorkshire Builders Ltd

Hi, we are Yorkshire Builders Ltd and thank you for looking at our profile.

Please check our feedback if you have not already done so.

To help you and save time in contacting us for small jobs or insurance quotes, we do have a short list of small works further on in this description that we ask you to read.

Our staff have experience in the building trade that now spans over 50 years, and we are a family run business. Our vans usually run with a 3 man team to carry out such buildings works.

We undertake all major buildings works from a structural internal wall removal, chimney breast removal, garage conversions to living accommodation alterations, we work on domestic properties and commercial properties also. With our staff’s skillset we take the project from start to finish which can include the final stages of carpets or other floor covering if required on building works that we have been engaged upon.

After a site visit, we always issue written quotations listing all works to be undertaken, this details exactly what works are to undertake and the cost of such works, we never increase our cost beyond what is in our quote unless more works are requested and carried out under such variations to the schedule of the works quoted and signed for.

We also work on listed properties also employing a skilled stone mason who is like all our own staff “apprentice trained”.

Our plasterers work to our specific high standard being able to apply all types of plaster coverings as well as plasterboard and skimming. This includes lime plaster, rendering etc.

We even supply and install thermal boards that are bonded to plaster boards to help improve dramatically the thermal value of any home by applying such to external walls.

We work closely with the appropriate local authority of your area with any project that requires the issue of a Building Control Certificate from the appropriate Building Control authority.

This is paramount if you have any structural works carried out on your home, its paramount because it is highly likely that when you come to sell your house the buyer’s solicitor will need to see such documentation to satisfy most lenders requirements and their clients to ensure the property has had approved works carried out on such property.

Experience tells us that once a project starts variations can be encountered, these will always be discussed in detail and any price for any extra works will always be confirmed in writing as soon as possible, so there are no surprises on extra costings if there are any further extra works we are asked to become engaged upon.

We do not take shortcuts on the materials we use, any RSJs (rolled steel joist) or lintels meet the Building Code of such local Building Authority with, if required, structural calculations being obtained and submitted to Building Control and if it’s an RSJ it will be painted to the required Building code requirements.

The same applies to the timbers we use for the flooring, we always try and match the existing floorboards where possible in pine if patching in a floor, when we install new flooring, we use tanalised 22mm flooring boards as opposed to 18mm, because it gives a much sturdier floor with less spring if such can be allowed by the floor conditions.

Our jobs include the following, but the list is by no means exhaustive, if it is involving building works, then most likely will do projects such as:

• Internal wall removal

• Structural alterations

• Chimney breast removal

• Garage conversions to living accommodation

• All types of plastering

• Garden rooms/offices

• Cellar tanking

• Inserting of Lintels above windows where the bricks above such has cracked.

• Kitchen supplied

• Complete bathroom refits

• Plastering

Sorry, but we no longer do the following:

1)     We do not engage in providing insurance quotes of any kind, such as damage to walls by delivery drivers etc..

2)     We do not do garden works, which includes garden walls, we are just not set up for such works and there is specialist trades that do these projects.

3)     We are happy to visit people’s homes or offices once they have bought the property, but we don't do assessments for pre purchase, you are best to get a surveyor to do such works, too many house purchases fall though now with the shortage of houses for sale.

4)     We do not do small repairs, we will engage in small repairs if it is part of a bigger project, we simply are not set up for small repairs on their own.

5)     We do not do garden wall repairs, unless such again is part of a bigger project.
