Local Stone New Build Specialists Covering Instow

Instow sits on the Taw–Torridge estuary between Barnstaple and Bideford — fifteen minutes from our base — and its seafront and the lanes behind it hold some of the most sought-after property in the area.

The Georgian and Victorian houses along Marine Parade, the sailing club, and the premium homes looking across the water to Appledore make Instow a village where buyers invest seriously in their properties — extensions, renovations and full rebuilds done to a high standard.

Much of the village sits within a conservation area, and the estuary frontage brings its own exposure issues, so work here needs both sympathetic detailing and materials that stand up to the salt air.

What We Do

Stone New Builds, Done Properly

A new build faced in natural stone is a different proposition from a standard brick-and-block house — and most general builders treat the stone as an afterthought. We don't. Stonework is our specialism, so a stone new build with us means the facade is coursed, jointed and detailed by people who do it every week, not squeezed in around the rest of the job.

We deliver new builds and self-builds from groundworks up: foundations and drainage with our own plant, structural blockwork, full natural stone facing, and everything through to render and finish. We've built complete stone new builds in the area — including one in Braunton — so we're pricing from experience, not guesswork.

Most of these projects are architect-led, and that's how we like to work: pricing from drawings, building exactly what's been designed, and flagging the practical details early so the project doesn't stall mid-build. If you're at the design stage, getting us involved before tender usually saves money on the stonework specification alone.

High-End & Architect-Led Projects

Built for Projects Where the Standard Matters

A large part of our work comes through architects, and it shows in how we operate: we price accurately from drawings, build exactly what's been designed, raise the practical questions early rather than mid-build, and keep sites clean and organised enough to walk a client around at any point. If your stone new build in Instow is architect-designed, we're comfortable being tendered against anyone.

The capability behind that is unusual for a contractor our size: stonework specialists in-house, our own plant and machinery, and experience across heritage restoration, full stone new builds and complex structural work. From a commercial natural stone facade for Tesco Express to complete barn conversions and coastal builds, the same in-house team carries every project — which is why the finish is consistent and the programme holds.

Common Questions

Stone New Builds in Instow — FAQs

Do you build complete new homes or just the stonework?

Complete builds — groundworks, structure, stone facing and finish, all in-house. We can also be brought in purely for the stonework package on a build run by others.

Can you work from architect's drawings for a project in Instow?

Yes, that's our preferred way of working. We price from drawings, work alongside your architect through the build, and are comfortable with the inspection and sign-off process with Torridge District Council and building control.

What stone do you use?

Whatever suits the design and the setting — we source and dress stone to match local character or to a specific architectural specification, and we'll advise honestly on what works and what blows the budget.
