Builders Hollicombe

Hollicombe sits on the Paignton-Torquay boundary along the TQ3 seafront, with an unusually high concentration of interwar and Art Deco properties — curved bays, flat roofs, crittal steel windows, and rendered elevations. These are properties where the character matters as much as the functional improvements, and that rules out the default 'standard brick and PVC' approach most general builders would take.

We've worked on Hollicombe extensions, roof-line alterations, and full restoration projects including steel-window refurbishment, original rendering repair and sympathetic modern interior reconfiguration. The key is matching new work convincingly to existing: ridge lines that align, render thicknesses and textures that match, and interior finishes that respect the proportions of the originals without slavishly copying them. It's slower than a standard new-build extension, and we'll price it honestly rather than under-quoting to win the job.

Seafront exposure is significant in Hollicombe — salt, wind-driven rain, and UV on south-facing elevations all shorten the life of cheap materials. We specify appropriately for the location, recommend where it's worth spending on longevity, and handle Torbay Council applications where an alteration needs more than permitted development cover.
