New Builds

We construct bespoke residential properties from groundworks to final decoration. Our process includes planning assistance, material sourcing, and skilled tradesmanship to ensure energy efficiency and security. Clients benefit from our design-and-build expertise, which streamlines approvals and guarantees quality finishes tailored to individual specifications.

Extensions

Specialising in single and multi-storey extensions, we maximise living space while maintaining structural integrity. Our team handles planning permissions, technical constraints, and logistics to deliver functional expansions that enhance property value. We focus on seamless integration with existing architecture and minimising disruption during construction.

Renovations

We undertake full or partial renovations including kitchens, bathrooms, and listed building restorations. Our services cover technical upgrades like insulation and underfloor heating, alongside structural repairs. We prioritise preserving period features while modernising functionality to meet contemporary living standards.

Stonework

Our specialists work with local stone and brick for new builds and restorations. We source rare materials, reuse salvaged components, and match traditional techniques to ensure authenticity. This expertise is particularly valuable for conservation projects requiring precise replication of historical detailing.

Listed Buildings

We manage extensions, repairs, and restorations of protected structures with Listed Building Consent expertise. Our approach combines heritage material sourcing, sympathetic design, and collaboration with planners to maintain historical integrity while addressing modern usage requirements.

We knew this company had an excellent reputation so we were delighted when David said they could transform a breeze block retaining wall on our front drive with local ironstone and new footings. We absolutely love the finished look, and Glen and Andy were outstanding as a team - so helpful and professional from start to finish - plus a lot of fun. They clearly enjoy and take a lot of pride in their work, as do the whole Smart Build team. We highly recommend them.

We would recommend David and team without hesitation. The building work has been carried out with great care and professionalism.
Whilst we had a fair idea of what we wanted from the build, the team were great at making suggestions which were respectful to the character and heritage of the original building. Particular thanks must go to our two core builders who were knowledgeable, highly skilled and good humoured. The build involved some internal reworking as well as a stone and slate extension. The match between the original and new elements is truly excellent, with detailing that is sympathetic

Smart Build Services Ltd (David Buck) has tendered for construction works on projects we had designed and detailed. They were professional and provided our clients with an excellent service from the inception, tendering process, start on-site and through to completion and hand over. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality build with attention to detail and always available to answer any questions.

I have only good things to say about Smartbuild. The workmanship and finish were exemplary. They came in on budget and nothing was too much trouble for David and his team.

We recently used Smart Build for our extension and renovation project and would recommend them to anyone. The whole team are fantastic, incredible hard working and genuinely nice people. The project was fairly large and disruptive for our neighbours but they still commented on the building team for being approachable and accommodating. The planning phase took almost a year to complete and David was on hand offering advice and guidance even before being awarded the work. He is great to deal with, very fair and honest with his approach. The build itself is great quality, with the teams attention

More than happy to recommend Smart Build (and David himself). A terrifying prospect of knocking through our kitchen and remodelling into a kitchen diner was made as easy as it could be by David and his team. David kept in touch throughout the project and was always available to visit the site at times that worked for me. When the inevitable unexpected things arose (as they surely will with projects like this) he was on hand to sort things out, could tap into a team skillset for whatever arose (from TV Aerials to Wood Burner fitting!), and ultimately keep things moving. Price and timescale wise
