Builders in Wells-next-the-Sea

Big Sky Construction provides extensions, renovations and listed building work in Wells-next-the-Sea and the surrounding villages, around 25 minutes from our Holt base.

Wells-next-the-Sea is a working harbour town with a long maritime history. Its quay is dominated by the old Granary building with its distinctive gantry, and behind it a network of yards, lanes and Georgian streets climbs towards The Buttlands, a tree-lined green surrounded by fine period houses. A mile from the town, the beach and pinewoods stretch towards the Holkham estate.

The town's historic core is a conservation area with many listed buildings, and much of the building work here involves period properties: repairing flint and brick, replacing failed cement pointing and render with breathable lime, re-roofing, and renovating cottages and town houses inside while respecting their character. Our specialism in listed buildings helps when alterations need consent.

Wells also has plenty of holiday homes and lets, and we carry out refurbishments, bathroom and kitchen refits, extensions and garden work for owners who want their property ready for the season. Homes this close to the coast need sound roofs and well-maintained walls, and we keep an eye on both.

Wells is about 11 miles from Holt, roughly 25 minutes along the A149 coast road, and we cover the surrounding villages, including Warham, Wighton and Holkham.

Typical jobs in Wells include repairing and repointing flint and brick cottages in the yards behind the quay, renovating Georgian town houses around The Buttlands, rear extensions and loft conversions, and turning holiday homes around between seasons. We handle every trade in-house, which keeps projects tidy and on programme, and gives you one point of contact from start to finish.
