Greener Building

I have worked as a builder on, and managed, a number of local eco building projects and renovations, including the award winning Worfolk Cottage.

These projects have incorporated,and given me experience of, many ecological features including:

Wind turbines
Photvoltaic panels
Solar panels
Ground Source Heat pumps
Passive solar heating
Green roofs
Super insulation
Natural insulation (sheep's wool, cellulose)
Wood Burners
Water based paints
Recycled materials
Rain water harvesting

A new build in the North York Moors National Park, incorporating:

Super insulation
Water harvesting
Passive solar heating
Wood burner
Solar panels

Staintondale, North York Moors National Park, before and after a loft conversion.

Staintondale village hall. Renovation including insulated wall, roof, floor and windows.

Please contact me to discuss how I can help you with your project.

We have come to depend over the years, on his reliability and goodwill, in maintaining the property, meeting our demands, and attending to and sorting out problems that arise.

Honest, reliable and willing to put in that extra time and effort to satisfy and provide a first class outcome, I would without hesitation recommend him to anyone requiring his skills.

Kelsall has worked for us a lot and is always very calm and easy to have around. He is highly organised, neat and thorough. Unlike a lot of builders he will not try to blind you with jargon but explains things clearly and gives good, honest advice based on experience. He has been brilliant at thinking around challenging problems to come up with imaginative solutions that work both in our farmhouse (major restructuring of rooms and fitting an unorthodox kitchen, decorating) and in agricultural buildings dealing with leaks and farm plumbing. One other huge advantage of Kelsall over other builders is that he is a qualified plumber and electrician, so if you are planning a big project he can do everything without having to stop-start while waiting for different tradespeople to arrive.
