Planned building work without the usual chasing

When your house is short on space, worn out in places or stuck with a layout that no longer works, major building work can feel like the only sensible answer and the biggest headache at the same time. We take on the kind of projects that change how a home functions, from extensions and conversions to renovations, room remodelling, new builds and structural work.

With R W Spencer & Son Ltd, you deal with a building team used to larger residential jobs, not quick patch-ups. Our project gallery shows current and completed work so you can see the standard for yourself.
