Business description

Based in the North of England and also operating in Scotland, this well-established building contractor delivers bespoke residential and heritage projects for discerning private clients and private family offices, also specialising in bespoke luxury new builds, sympathetic restorations of period properties, and discreet commercial and private family office projects.

The company works exclusively through referral and negotiated tender, ensuring a carefully managed client base and strong levels of repeat work. All projects are overseen directly, with a trusted network of professional site teams, employees and subcontractors maintaining exceptional standards and complete discretion.

New business is generated 100% by referrals and strong repeat client bases. This is due to the strong relationships established with customers, built on confidence, trust, transparency, quality customer service and excellent results.

Strong financial performance:

  • Consistently turning over IRO £4.4m year on year.
  • Turnover in excess of £4.7 million in 2024 and £3.95 million in 2025 with profitability on an upward trajectory, producing above industry standard returns.
  • FY 2025/26 has seen turnover of £2.84m in the first six months to 30 September 2025 with projected turnover on track to achieve £4.6m and an adjusted EBITDA of £650K.

Opportunities exist to scale operations by adding professional site management teams and expanding capacity, enabling the business to take on more high-value projects without compromising quality.

This is a rare chance to acquire an established name in the high-end residential and heritage construction sector, with a forward order book built entirely on trusted relationships and long-term commissions.

  • The business has consistently delivered profitability above industry averages, achieving a profit before tax margin of 11% in 2025, out performing peers.
  • All work gained through referrals and repeat customers via negotiated tenders, ensuring a loyal client base and dependable repeat commissions.

Reason for sale

The sale is primarily driven by the owner’s plan to retire, simultaneous to the fact that the company is operating at maximum capacity given its current resources. Yet, the company is constantly turning down and rejecting proposed future projects on a monthly basis, therefore willing to explore external investment to encapsulate the ever-present opportunities put forward by prospective clients and architects. The owner appreciates and will remain involved for a transitional period, if required, to support a seamless transfer of trading operations and relationships to the new owner.
