Takeley has doubled in size in recent years, and converting its garages into real rooms keeps us busy — it's a dozen minutes from our door, straight down the A120.
We're a family-run building firm of eight, led by Dan Nevill from Bishop's Stortford and working across Essex every week. The core team are time-served carpenters — which shows in the finish — and every project runs through one team, one point of contact, start to handover.
The number-one Takeley job — integral garages becoming offices and playrooms.
About this serviceTrussed modern roofs converted with proper structural design for extra bedrooms.
About this servicePatios, fencing and decking to finish plots the developers left basic.
About this serviceThose are the jobs Takeley brings us most — but we're a full-service firm. See all 13 services, from small carpentry jobs to complete new builds.
Most of Takeley is modern: estate houses with integral garages, decent lofts and gardens waiting to be landscaped. It's ideal stock for the quick-win projects — garage conversions, loft rooms and rear extensions that add space without moving house.
“This is the second project we've had Dan do — and the third one is in the works.”Glenn GardinerVerified TrustATrader review
