Every home has the potential to be improved.
For some homeowners, that means opening up a series of smaller rooms to create modern open-plan living. For others, it means restoring an older property, improving energy efficiency or completely remodelling the internal layout to suit a growing family.

By bringing together experienced tradespeople and dedicated project management, we ensure every element of the project works together seamlessly from start to finish.

The team are always incredibly helpful and adaptable, and nothing ever seems too much trouble.Posted on Natalie LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Braestone to refurbish our porch entrance, install new fencing & gate and lay a new driveway with landscaping. I would highly recommend Damien and his team who were professional and trustworthy throughout the whole process. Our drive etc was finished to a high standard and looks amazing.Posted on Ryan HallsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used Braestone several times across our Trust sites as one of our preferred contractors and I’d have no problem recommending them to anyone in need of a professional, polite and honest contractor. Their pricing is transparent, their team is always willing to answer questions and they deliver the quality promised.Posted on Robert MaybankTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As someone in the interiors industry, I've always had a keen eye for detail. So, picking the right construction company for our side extension was always going to be tough. Then I found Braestone Construction. From start to finish, their work was fantastic. Damian has an amazing team of professionals who delivered a fantastic finish, doing everything we asked for. Nothing was too much trouble, and the service throughout was just brilliant. I'd totally recommend them and will definitely use them for our next projects.Posted on Ryan ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Would not hesitate to recommend.Posted on Johnny FlandersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Created the best summer house you could imagine.

They also did the patio, garden and driveway to very high standardsPosted on Alex McCarthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and quality of work delivered on our recent patio. The team was punctual, polite and tidy throughout and we couldn't be happier with the final result.Posted on Zoe SophiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Braestone for our downstairs extension. They created a beautiful open plan living space and we were so pleased with the results we will be using them for our loft extension. From conception and planning permission with their architect to the finishing touches, everything was organised seamlessly. Having all of this organised for us was a huge weight off our shoulders. All of the team were extremely efficient, professional and polite. They were also brilliant with our children. We felt involved and looked after in every step of the process. We would not hesitate recommending Braestone.Posted on Kate WillisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Braestone twice in the last 6 months, firstly to take up our decking and relay a patio and then to upgrade our conservatory. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any work you're having done. From the word go, Damien was reliable and very responsive. So much so that I had to make sure I didn't send a message when it popped into my head at weekends, as I knew he would respond straight away! Every single person that came was polite and friendly. They were also extremely helpful, answering our many questions and guiding us through the process. We had some really difficult decisions to make and hurdles to overcome, but Damien always had a solution and got us to the finished product as painlessly as possible. The quality of the workmanship seems great to me and everything we asked for has been done in a timely manner. I wouldn't hesitate to use Braestone again, and can't thank Damien and the team enough for everything.

The cost of a renovation depends on the size of the property, the scope of work and the level of finish required.
A simple refurbishment will typically cost less than a full house renovation involving structural alterations, layout changes and extensive upgrades. We provide detailed, transparent quotations tailored to each project.
A renovation generally involves improving, modernising or reconfiguring a property to better suit your needs, while a refurbishment focuses on restoring, updating or refreshing existing spaces.
Many projects combine elements of both, creating a home that feels both modern and functional.
Yes. We regularly work on older homes throughout Essex, including Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s properties. Our team understands how to modernise these homes while preserving the character and features that make them unique.
