Premier Build, Building Contractors in Essex
Premier Build Ltd have been building, extending and renovating homes in Essex, Herefordshire and the South East of England for over 30 years. The simple fact is, we love the area and couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. Not to say we have any great knowledge of local history, geography or even architecture, but we have the privilege of visiting the wonderful towns, villages and hamlets of Essex on a daily basis.
In the first of a series of location reports we thought we might begin on the A12 between Brentwood and Chelmsford, home to Shenfield, Mountnessing, Ingatestone and Margaretting.
Premier Build Ltd – A Quality Essex Builder – Brentwood
Premier Build Ltd are the complete builders. From simple repairs to self-build homes, Premier Build have the skills, experience and ability to complete any construction project. We work closely with our clients to ensure the planning, process and end product meets their highest expectation.
At Premier Build we take the upmost pride in our work. We are craftsmen as much as builders and consistently work to the highest standards. Premier Build Ltd are considerate builders. We know our work site is very often our client’s home and we take every care to minimise disruption.
Premier Build’s are fully subscribed to the National Home Building Council where we have achieved an A1 rating, kept year on year, following on-going assessment of completed house building projects.
Premier Build Ltd - Building Consultancy – Shenfield
At Premier Build, we are always happy to talk to prospective customers about their project plans. We have a wealth of experience in building new homes, extensions, conversions and renovations. We are happy to advise on the use of local materials, local suppliers, and the timing and cost of any building project.
Premier Build Ltd – Repairs & Restorations – Ingatestone
Premier Build Ltd are often invited onto repair or renovation projects after others have tried and failed. It is often the case that the cheapest quote leads to the cheapest work, where the symptoms have been treated but not the underlying cause. We regularly investigate cases of recurrent damp where walls, floors and ceilings have been repaired or replaced only to be affected again within months, weeks or sometimes days.
This isn’t just about builders without the skills and experience of Premier Build. Very often surveyors and architects view a structural problem from the perspective of a surveyor or architect. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Premier Build Ltd can recognise problems – and identify practical solutions – that others miss. From subsidence in Shenfield to water ingress in Ingatestone (we should have said damp in Doddinghurst) Premier Build Ltd are experts in repairs, renovations and restorations.
Damage Repair, Professional Restoration Work & Additional Services
At Premier Build Ltd, we are constantly building on our skills, and extending the long list of services we offer. Construction is a moving landscape, continually changing as new designs and developments become popular. We have recently added services such as foundations, engineered flooring and parquet flooring, we also have an excellent range of high quality fascias, soffits and guttering. A great first impression is created by a stunning and well maintained exterior, with additions like Cedral boarding and silicone rendering.
Due to our reputation for getting to the bottom of any issue, we are often approached by major insurance companies to apply our expertise. We are often required to carry out repairs too, caused by property damage of one sort or another. This can be tricky, as the original materials must be used, or as near as possible, if a successful outcome is to be achieved. Recently, we were asked to make good an apartment building which had been damaged by a vehicle. We rebuilt the outside corner brickwork, and completed some interior remedial work also. There are many times that water has scarred an area, and putting this sort of issue right is another frequent request. Of course we are always happy to oblige!
Brentwood, Essex
Brentwood is perhaps best known as a thriving commuter town. With a train to London every 10 minutes, close to the M25, and only a 40 minute drive to Stanstead, Brentwood is very well connected.
But one of the biggest surprises to people visiting Brentwood is how easy it is to escape into the countryside. Although Brentwood has a strong local economy and a busy town centre, it is surrounded by open fields, countryside and forests, with Thorndon Country Park and Weald Country Park right on the doorstep.
Brentwood is also home to its own ski centre. Set in 52 acres of woodland, the Brentwood Ski Centre offers fantastic skiing and snowboarding all year round for winter sports enthusiasts of all abilities.
Shenfield, Essex
Shenfield, and the neighbouring village of Hutton, are part of the Essex borough of Brentwood but it has a different atmosphere to its busy neighbour.
In many ways, Shenfield has a ‘well-heeled’ feel to it, with quiet, leafy residential streets and a friendly shopping area of local stores rather than high street brands.
Ingatestone, Essex
The idyllic village of Ingatestone is home to some 4,500 people but could once boast 27 inns and hostelries welcoming visitors and travellers just passing through. Ingatestone is still well worth a visit. It is the site of two conservation areas, the first of which includes Ingatestone High Street and its historic collection of shops and houses dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries. There are a number of timber-framed buildings dotted throughout Ingatestone including the delightful Bell Inn, a fifteenth century tavern still open to skilled builders at the end of a long hard day.
