About Us

"The Colegrave Construction team, managed by Ed Colegrave, completed a first rate job. I chose Ed's company from personal recommendation. I was also impressed that Ed could arrange all the jobs necessary, saving me the bother of finding a tiler and a kitchen fitter. I have not been disappointed. Ed organised the right people to turn up in a timely fashion, the work was completed with the minimum of fuss, all overseen by Ed ( who also did some of the work!). I did not take any quotes for the job, but I believe that the work was fairly priced and would not hesitate to have this team again."

"We're pleased to say that we can wholeheartedly recommend Colegrave Construction to anyone who wants a builder they can trust to carry out excellent workmanship in a timely manner, efficiently and with good customer relationship skills. We've used Ed Colegrave for a number of major projects over several years to bring our old, large house up to a modern standard, especially with regard to energy efficiency. A very large and complicated roof has had old felt, tiles and valleys replaced with modern equivalents, plus extra strengthening timbers where required. The walls and roofs of dormer rooms have been fitted with insulation panels and the new dormer roof given a rubberised coating. Other rooms, with solid walls, have had insulation panels fitted to the interior surfaces of external walls. A new kitchen has been fitted and the old utility room (built of concrete blocks) replaced with a well-insulated timber frame structure. A new porch has been built from oak and a wide area of garden steps constructed. During the kitchen work we went on holiday and had no reservations about leaving Ed Colegrave with the keys and in charge of the house. He and his team worked into the evenings to make sure the kitchen was ready for our return."

"We moved into Curry Rivel a couple of years ago and looked for a builder to carry out work on our cottage, not knowing anybody we spoke to our architect who recommended a number of potential builders, I always look for local tradesman who come recommended and was pleased when Ed took on the work and found him to be very reliable. We got on really well with Ed and his team who kept us informed at every stage of the work and were very impressed with his honesty when it came to dealing with the issues that inevitably arise during the build process and sourcing the right materials. It’s difficult in the current economic climate to keep a control on costs but we were very pleased when the final bill came in within agreed estimates and are happy to recommend Colegrave Construction Ltd."
