Builders Chelston

Chelston is dominated by two types of property that we've worked on repeatedly: pre-war terraces and semis along the roads radiating out from Old Mill Road, and 1930s-1950s detached and semi-detached homes further up towards Cockington. Both groups have typical quirks — solid masonry walls without cavities, older roof structures that weren't designed for today's insulation standards, and original sash windows that are usually worth keeping but need skilled refurbishment rather than replacement.

The work we do most often in TQ2 Chelston is opening up boxy rear rooms into a single kitchen-diner, adding single-storey rear extensions that unlock garden access, and converting lofts into genuine bedrooms with proper building regulations-compliant staircases. None of that is complicated in isolation, but doing it well on older properties takes someone who understands what's behind the plaster — not someone who's going to hit an unexpected steel lintel and then scramble to revise the price.

We'll assess your Chelston property properly before quoting, including what Torbay Council is likely to ask for if planning is needed, whether building regulations structural calcs will be required, and where the real cost risk sits. Then you get a fixed-price written quote, a timeline we'll actually hit, and weekly progress updates once we start. Book a free site visit at a time that suits you.
