Sheringham grew from a fishing village into a Victorian and Edwardian seaside town after the railway arrived in the 1880s, and its streets still tell that story: flint fishermen's cottages close to the seafront, then terraces and large villas of brick and flint built for the town's first holidaymakers. Up the hill, Upper Sheringham keeps its village character around All Saints' Church and the Sheringham Park estate.
Coastal homes take a battering from the weather, so much of the building work Sheringham needs is about keeping properties sound and dry: roof repairs and re-roofing, repointing flint and brick walls, replacing failed render and dealing with damp. We also build extensions and loft conversions for families who want more space, and renovate holiday lets and second homes between seasons.
Many of the older properties near the seafront and the High Street sit within a conservation area, and some are listed. Our specialism in listed and period buildings means we know how to repair and alter these homes in a way that respects their character and satisfies the planners.
Sheringham is about 6 miles from Holt, roughly 12 minutes by road, so we can reach NR26 quickly for site visits and keep jobs moving. We also cover the nearby villages of Beeston Regis, West Runton and Weybourne.
Typical jobs in Sheringham include rear extensions to Victorian terraces, dormer and Velux loft conversions, new kitchens and bathrooms, replacement fascias and guttering, and patios or decking to make the most of a sheltered garden. We handle every trade in-house, so there's one point of contact from the first visit to the finished job.
