Blakeney is one of the jewels of the North Norfolk coast: a former Glaven port of flint cottages and narrow lanes running down to the quay, looking out across the salt marshes to Blakeney Point and its seal colony. The village sits within a conservation area and the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, and a large number of its buildings are listed, from cottages along the High Street to the medieval Guildhall near the quay.
Building work in Blakeney has to respect that setting. Our specialism in listed and period buildings is especially relevant here: repairing flint walls with matching flints and lime mortar, re-roofing with reclaimed clay pantiles, restoring timber windows and doors, and designing extensions that sit quietly alongside historic neighbours.
Many Blakeney homes are second homes or holiday lets. We're happy to work for owners who can't always be on site, keeping them updated as the work progresses so the property is ready for the next season.
Our recent projects in nearby Cley next the Sea, a barn conversion and a glazed garden extension to a flint house, show the kind of work we do in the Glaven valley. Blakeney is about 4 miles from Holt, roughly 10 minutes by road, and we also cover Wiveton, Glandford, Langham and Morston.
Typical jobs in and around Blakeney include repointing flint cottages, replacing tired pantile roofs, opening up cramped period interiors, adding garden rooms and sympathetic rear extensions, and refitting kitchens and bathrooms in holiday homes. Every trade is handled by our own team, from structural work through to the final coat of paint, so nothing falls between contractors.
