We undertake all groundworks up to the damp proof course (DPC). This ensures structures have the correct base and support to remain strong and stable for many years. The DPC prevents rising damp and associated problems. Examples of groundworks include excavations, foundations, footings and drainage.
Our team also installs concrete bases as well as paving and patios, for which we mostly use Indian sandstone.
Our builders provide all aspects of carpentry for your project. First fix refers to structural work such as stud walls, roof struts, door frames and floor joists. Second fix carpentry is work carried out after plastering. This can include fitting doors, architraves, floorboards and skirtings.
Your home needs a quality roof to protect you, your belongings and the structure itself from the elements. At Richard James Building Contractors, we make sure you have a durable, weathertight roof which provides optimal protection and enhances the look of your property.
While we always use system specified by the client or architect, we specialise in GRP flat roofing.
