Abbey Builders & Son is a family-run building company founded in 1970 and now operating across three generations. Based in Nottingham, we cover domestic and commercial building work across the city and surrounding areas โ from small alterations and repairs to full extensions, kitchen and bathroom renovations, loft conversions and new builds.
Led by Andy, Scott and the wider family team, we're known for our friendly approach, reliable timekeeping, meticulous attention to detail, and a clean-and-tidy finish on every project. Construction, plastering, plumbing, joinery โ it all happens in-house.
With 55+ years behind us and a loyal base of long-term repeat customers, we plan the whole building process from start to completion โ so you deal with one team, from the first quote to the final clean-up.
From repointing a wall to a full double-storey extension, Abbey Builders & Son handle every trade under one roof.
Single and double-storey home extensions โ more space, more value, seamlessly joined to your existing home.
Individually designed kitchen and bathroom installations โ fitted by skilled tradesmen, finished to a high standard.
Unlock space you already own โ from standard loft conversions to full barn conversion projects.
Structural building work, brickwork, pointing, roofing, guttering โ all the bread-and-butter jobs done properly.
High-quality carpentry and joinery by skilled craftsmen โ bespoke timber work to fit your home exactly.
Wall plastering, external rendering, damp surveys and treatment โ the right finish for every surface.
Window installation and conservatory builds that are weathertight, well-insulated and built to last.
Concrete paths, drives and general groundwork โ laid level, tidy, and built to handle the British weather.
Based in Nottingham, we work across the city and out into the wider county โ both domestic and commercial building jobs welcome.
Founded in 1970, we're now in our third generation. You're not dealing with a faceless contractor โ you're dealing with the family whose name is on the side of the van. We can't afford to do a bad job, and after 55+ years, we don't know how to.
Reliable timekeeping isn't a bonus โ it's the bare minimum. Our customers' reviews say it over and over: we arrive on time, we don't stretch the work out, and we hit the timeline we quoted. One porch quoted for 2 weeks came in at 10 days. That's how we work.
Construction, plumbing, plastering, joinery โ all handled in-house. You deal with one team from the first quote to the final clean-up. No finger-pointing between trades when something goes wrong, no waiting around for someone else to finish before the next job starts.
Your home doesn't stop being your home while we're working in it. We respect the space, we clean up every day, and when the job's finished the only sign we were there is the work itself. It's why customers have us back for 20+ years running.
Every quote is free and given with no obligation. We'll come out, look at the job properly, and give you an honest price and a realistic timeframe. If it's not the right time, that's fine. If it is, we'll get started when you're ready.
Book a free site visit and written quotation. We'll tell you honestly what's involved, what it'll cost, and how long it'll take โ no sales pitch, no pressure.

Abbey Builders & Son have just completed a summer house project for us and as usual it's been a pleasure to work with them. We've worked with them on projects big and small for around 20 years. Their work is excellent, we trust them, they are flexible, and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend.

We have recently had a porch built attached to the existing house brickwork by Andy and Scott of Abbey Builders and Son and could not be happier with the result. The job was initially scaled for completion within a 2-week period and took them 10 days in all โ the result is superb. Many passers-by have commented how good a job it looks. Highly recommend.

We moved into a house which needed a lot of work doing and Abbey Builders and Son have gone above and beyond in every job they have done for us โ from fixing guttering to re-laying concrete paths. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. They arrive on time, don't stretch the work out and leave everywhere clean and tidy.
