General building & repairs in Nuneaton
Practical, dependable building work for homeowners who want the job done properly the first time — from repairs and alterations to full outbuildings.
General building covers the jobs that don't fit a neat box: knocking through, building out, putting right what's failed, and the structural work that bigger improvements depend on. It's the part of the trade where experience shows — knowing what's load-bearing, what the building regs want, and how to make new work tie into old properly.
Across Nuneaton and the surrounding towns, Chris takes on alterations, repairs and improvements for all kinds of homes — from Victorian terraces and interwar semis to modern estate houses — as well as full rebuilds like turning a derelict outbuilding into a usable, insulated garden studio.
Whatever the job, the standard is the same: set out properly, built to last, and finished — not left structurally sound but rough. If a job needs sign-off or a structural calculation, Chris will tell you that up front rather than working around it.
What’s included
- Alterations, knock-throughs and openings
- Structural repairs and making good
- Outbuildings and garden studios, slab to finish
- Brickwork, blockwork and groundwork
- Tying new work neatly into old

Why homeowners choose Chris
Knows what's structural
The experience to spot what's load-bearing and what the regs want — so alterations are done safely, not hopefully.
Built to last
Foundations, fixings and detailing done properly, because the parts you can't see are what hold up over time.
Finished, not just built
New work is made good and tied into the existing house neatly — left ready to use, not rough at the edges.
General Building — your questions
Do you take on structural work?
Yes, including openings and alterations. Where a job needs a structural engineer's calculation or building-regs sign-off, Chris will tell you that from the start and coordinate it, rather than working around it.
Can you build a garden room or outbuilding?
Yes — Chris has taken a derelict outbuilding right back to the slab and rebuilt it as an insulated, glazed garden studio with power, lighting and a finished interior. Smaller stores and outbuildings too.
Do you do smaller repairs as well as big jobs?
Yes. General building includes the smaller repairs and alterations — it doesn't all have to be a major project to be worth a call.
