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.

See the whole job before anyone goes up a ladder
A drone lets us look at the parts of a building that are hard to reach: roofs, chimneys, gutters and the tops of walls. We use it on our own jobs and for homeowners who want to know what they are dealing with before any work is priced.
The drone is flown by a CAA registered flyer from our own team, so the person flying it knows exactly what a builder needs to see.
From above we can see the whole plot, how a new extension will sit against the house and where access and materials will go. It is also a quick way to check on a job as it goes up.
On the ground we measure up and look over the building in person, inside and out, so the price is based on what is actually there.
What a drone survey shows
Tap each one.
Roofs and chimneys
Slates, tiles, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters, all seen close up without scaffolding or a ladder.
Brickwork at height
High walls, gables and the point where an extension meets the old house, checked before and during the work.
The whole site
The plot from above, so we can plan the layout, the access and where everything will go before we start.
Farms and larger sites
Farmhouses, yards and outbuildings in one view, useful for barn conversions and bigger projects.

What our clients say
Barlow Construction has helped me through a major renovation of an 1860s property, involving new suspended ceilings, new wall linings throughout, full damp proofing, new doors and lintels, a new central heating system, and new bathroom and kitchen installs. Lewis has been a pleasure to deal with throughout, and his advice and guidance have been invaluable. His onsite team show considerable depth of experience, with no dramas in dealing with the unexpected work that crops up in an old building. If only all firms were like this to deal with.
Lewis and the team did a fantastic job on our extension from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, they kept us updated at every stage, turned up when they said they would, and left the site clean and tidy each day. The finish is exactly what we wanted and the whole process was far less stressful than we expected.
We recently used Barlow Construction for a refurbishment project and were extremely pleased with the service and the quality of work. Lewis was great to deal with from the start. Professional, reliable and always on hand to offer advice on the best approach and industry best practice. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lewis and the team.
The guys from Barlow Construction did an excellent job. They arrived on time. I was working from home throughout the kitchen refurbishment so got to know them. Great bunch of lads, great work. No issue too big or small, they got it sorted. Well pleased with the finish.
We have worked with Lewis and his team across a number of properties and he is incredibly professional and pleasant to work with. Highly recommended.
