Coverage
The areas we cover
We build across Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, Newport and Caerphilly. Each place has its own houses, its own council and its own ground, so each has pages of its own.
Based in Llandough, working across the region
Our base is in Llandough, in the Vale of Glamorgan, between Cardiff and Penarth. From there we cover the city, the Vale, and Newport and Caerphilly along the M4.
A building job is shaped by where it is as much as by what it is. The council that decides the planning application, the age and construction of the houses, and the ground under the foundations all differ from one place to the next. The pages below set out what that means for each kind of work in each area.
Cardiff
The city on our doorstep. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the inner suburbs, inter-war semis across the north of the city, and new homes on its edges.
We are based in Llandough, on the south-western edge of Cardiff, so the whole city is within easy reach.
