Our requirement was an extension to our driveway that matched in every way the surface our house builder had laid two years before. Barlow Construction of Thirsk project managed the work and every objective was fully and very competently achieved. We were delighted by the outcome.

Thirsk is where we are from
We are a family run Thirsk company, and our yard sits at Bridge Farm on Park Road in Topcliffe.
Building locally means our clients are also our neighbours, and our reputation in the town is earned one job at a time.
We cover everything from Georgian houses off the Market Place to farmhouses out towards Sutton Bank, newer homes in Sowerby and village properties in Topcliffe, Dalton, Carlton Miniott and Sessay.

Building in and around Thirsk
What we see most in Thirsk and the villages around it.
Brick, pantile and stone
The older parts of Thirsk are mostly handmade brick under red clay pantiles, with stone further out towards the Hambleton Hills. We match both, and we know where to find reclaimed pantiles when new ones will not do.
Planning and conservation
Thirsk and Sowerby both have conservation areas, and plenty of listed buildings. Planning is now handled by North Yorkshire Council. The architectural practices we work with know the planners and what they expect.
Drives and gardens
Outside work matters too: driveway extensions, patios and walls. We lay them to fall, with the drainage in, so they still look right in ten years.
A driveway extension, matched exactly
One client asked us to extend their driveway so it matched, in every way, the surface their house builder had laid two years earlier.
What clients say
We were introduced to Barlow Construction through our architect. They proved themselves to be a professional, trustworthy and reliable building company. Nothing was too much trouble. Originally taken on to do a single storey extension, which they did to an extremely high standard, we then asked them to lay a full surround patio with ACO drainage and repair our chimney stack. They were very tidy, clearing and putting everything away at the end of each day. We would wholeheartedly recommend them.
